Sqdef is a tower defense game for the GP2X. The goal is to prevent enemies from getting from one side of the map to the other by placing towers along their way. There are over a dozen different buildings with upgrades, tech research, and a whole lot of maps to try your defense skills on! Sqdef also has a built-in editor that allows you to make your own maps and share them with others.

Changes:

-> new graphics
-> bridges on maps
-> improved balance
-> each building has a specific creature on which it does +50% damage
-> upgradeable Scythe, Trapper, and Colony
-> automatic turret upgrade after every 16 kills
-> two new research items, Ice Pick and Poof
-> option to sell all buildings of the same type at once
-> 60-waves are default, no more selection
-> Map Editor can load maps
-> a more informative upgrade window
-> smaller, faster save files
-> new map pack “New World”

Sqdef is a freeware game, and many hours went in creating and improving it. If you enjoy playing Sqdef, please consider making a PayPal donation to the author!

News from the Giana’s Return team and their attempt to port their own game over to the Playstation Portable.

Quote:

Our coder made quite a progress for the PSP version.

Earlier this day he had to fight with memory issues, but he managed to sort out those during the day. Now it’s quite late and we DO HAVE a working PSP version, but it has graphics glitches, minor transparency issues and is a bit slow. Also the controls seem too sensitive for an analogue stick and completly wrong for digital cross usage.

We keep you guys updated!
(at least for the next few days before our organizer and “blog udpater” rushes out for a longtime vacation).

Guyfawkes was wondering how big the Wiz would be in size compared to other handhelds so with the help of Size Easy, he entered some handheld sizes to see how big the Wiz is.

You can view the page linked below. The Wiz (Violet) is slightly bigger than a GBA Micro (Blue) and slightly smaller than a DS Lite (Green).

Thanks to http://www.emuholic.com for this interesting comparison!
