Monkit released SnowKillz.

Release notes:

Basically it is something like a top-down shooter.
It was previously one of my super old childish games on PC
My old SnowKillz on PC But I ported it to PSP thinking that it would be fun Anyway.. the Loading is very slow.. have to bear with it. >.< The graphics and sound I would change later. Most graphics are from RPGmaker. Some I drew them, but the sound part are from War3 and RPGmaker too if I never remember wrongly. The game is currently in alpha mode, gameplay is not there yet. But you could enter level mode and see how the game would be like. The menu just basically shows the AI part. That is the main thing I want people to see. A nice bloodly battle field that is rather cute... lolz

Dynamo is a cool, animated task manager for your PocketPC 2003/05/06 device. Say goodbye to boring text lists of running programs and instead manage your programs by sliding in images of all your running applications onto your screen. For each program on your device an image is saved and when you click the hotkey they all zoom onto your screen. Simply click the one you want and it will increase to fill the screen. Quickly seeing all the running programs is far more efficient than having to read through a text-based task list so Dynamo can make task switching a much faster, and cooler, experience.

Dynamo also allows you to quit programs from inside the image view meaning that it does everything your old text-based program manager could do.

As well as just looking generally cooler, Dynamo offers far more customization than before and allows the whole application to be controlled using either your PDAs hardware keys or the stylus.

Changes:

# bug fixing
+ optimization in taking a snapshot -> speed, plus size in memory reduced from 8 Mb to 0.8 Mb
+ program size optimization (1 Mb to 0.2 Mb)
+ optimization: processes’ list moved to hash tables
+ when calling Dynamo, a snapshot of the last process is taken
# snapshot timer switched off by default (previously was every 3 secs) -> no extra CPU load in normal operation
+ wait cursor switched off during the whole program
+ Programs-Settings-Games-Dynamo3 windows ban moved inside the program, not accessible for users anymore
+ when number of visible processes <= 1, Dynamo hides back automatically + new config option: first snapshot delay. Use it if first-time snapshots are corrupted (for slow CPUs).
