The Amazing Adventures Of Echo v1.1a (New GFX) (Wiz Game)

In The Amazing Adventures Of Echo by Drumpi you must fight, jump, find… and shot.

Echo is a little boy who loves action films, and he likes to go out dressing like a super-hero, always followed by his dog. But this time, Echo sees his dreams come true: He got his own action adventure series. So he must face the dangers of a haunted castle, with tons of enemies, ghosts and dragons, and repel the future alien invasion in a post-apocalyptic city, where humans fight with his machines.

This new release features pimped graphics by FBustamante.

Ice Slider v1.1 (NDS Game)

EgoTrip updated his Nintendo DS homebrew game Ice Slider. Ice Slider is a puzzle game, with the objective of collecting 10 coins on each level. However, there is a catch, once you start moving, you cannot stop until you hit an obstacle. Obstacles include brick walls which cannot be passed, ice walls that break when bumped into, and directional walls which you can only move through in the indicated direction. There are 80 levels in total, which should keep you busy for a while.

Harmony’s Nightmare v1.1 (Wii Game)

Harmony’s Nightmare by Mr. Reaper is a multi-Genre platform, reflex, puzzle survival game with horror theme.

Changes:

1.1 = Lots of behind-the-scenes code optimizations and small visual/animation tweaks/adjustments. Also, I thought level 3 was too easy compared to the other levels, so I MADE IT HARDER, Mwhahahaha! But the note placement on that level is better now, so maybe I need to make it harder still >:) I also tried to work around some random sound issues (it seems that gcmodplay and/or aesndlib have some problems…). Maybe at some point I’ll try converting everything to use asndlib and see if it fixes the random sound glitches completely.
