Cryptic Quotes by foxtotum is a collection of puzzle games for the Nintendo DS.

Release notes:

Some of the puzzles will be very familiar (Landslide, Telephone Code, Sliding Puzzle). These have been presented in as traditional a way as possible.

Some of the puzzles were adapted from other games (Hangman, Scrabble Scramble).

Some of the puzzles I have not seen anywhere else (Texting Turmoil, Snooker Colours, Tiling Troubles).

Some of the games have different difficulty settings which are all explained in the instruction screens.

There are over 35 thousand quotes and extracts which should keep you busy for some time.

I hope that you try Cryptic Quotes.

PNDstore is an essential application for all Pandora users! It acts as “store” system for many Pandora related things such as games, emulators and applications. The system is easy to use and so it is pretty simple to get more content on your Pandora!

Release notes:

This release is mostly for stability, with almost no UI changes. They’ll come eventually.
– Adds full support for version 3.0 of the repository spec. This allows list updating to be done more efficiently, though the improvements are likely not noticeable to humans
– Properly scans all appropriate directories for PNDs, including pandora/mmenu
– Ctrl+Q shortcut closes the GUI
– Will fail gracefully when encountering network connectivity errors, rather than acting like it’s working
