Laser Hockey DS is a 2D hockey game for Nintendo DS.

Changes:

* Using Box2D for physics, still needs a lot of tweaking and bug fixing; it took almost two months but it’s a huge improvement
* Re-initializing memory between screen changes to avoid a memory leak
* Remove remnants of old placeholder engine
* Using Box2D’s body rotation for the sprite rotation
* Player two takes control of physics updates when ball is in his or her court, a vast improvement in responsiveness of game play for player two
* Select button now exits practice and multiplayer games

News on the homebrew front! A beta has been released for Daedalus R14, the Nintendo 64 emulator for the Sony PSP. This update doesn’t come from StrmnNrmn though, but from developer Wally of Homebrew Heaven.

Changes:

* A bit of ME support
* A tad faster
* A bit buggier.
* New Icons etc
