Ura Kaiten Patissier is the runner up game of “Kaiten Patissier”, with more possibilites and features. It’s also a touch more difficult thant he original series.

Kaiten Patissier is a “collect ’em all” game, but with the twist of having a rotating playingfield. After collecting all but the last item in each level, a bonus item will appear somewhere in the level, so be sure to keep an eye out for the bonus items if you want to get 100% completion.

Update 23:23: According to MK2k, the guy who ported this piece of work over to the PSP, the only change is the addition of a new splash screen “Action Love”.

This J2ME porting can run java mobile phone games even better than the average phone and with more confortable controls, for example it can run DoomRPG, Worms 2007, 300, Company of Heroes, Rainbow Six Vegas, Destroy all Humans 2 ect fullspeed!

New in this release:

– Screen rotation now works properly even for 240×320 games that now can fit perfectly the gp2x screen
– Added a variable to choose when to launch a game with rotated screen or not
– Added Dungeon Dweller as sample game, it’s a great Roguelike and is freely downloadable here: http://roguelikedevelopment.org/dweller/
– Some minor bugs fixed

Now the porting needs *only* sound support for MIDP2 games, if you’re a developer interested in making a release or you just want to mess with the code follow the instructions and hints in the readme file.

STPPC2x is a GP2X port of Simon Tatham’s Portable Puzzle Collection, a set of 27 addictive logic and puzzle games.

Release notes:

PLEASE NOTE: This release is a bit of a leap in how the collection operates. It is recommended that you create a new folder for this version – the directory structure has changed significantly. INI’s and SAV’s from previous versions are, of course, still compatible but may need a little renaming (same_game.ini to samegame.ini or rect0.sav to rectangles0.sav, etc.)

So, what’s new? First, we have a fantastic menu drawn and programmed by juanvvc.

Many thanks to juanvvc for the great work on that, I think it really makes the collection look much neater and more professional. In fact, it works so well with the games that it is now the default menu, even on my own GP2X. Eventually, it’ll get merged into the program itself so that there’s just one piece of code for the whole thing.

The games are now just one program and one menu to run that program. If anybody still wants to be able to run each of the games individually as they did before, give me a shout, because I still test the games individually on my own machine. If there’s demand, I can do two different releases – one with a single executable, one with an executable for each game.

There are also three new games: Slide, Sokoban and Maze 3D.
