Xenocider is a 3D arcade action game with retro-futuristic aesthetics, currently in development for the Dreamcast as the chosen main platform by Retro Sumus. The game tells the story of Xara, a cyborg from a remote planet turned into the ultimate weapon of mass destruction and ethnic cleansing thanks to her superhuman strength and speed and her combat skills in extreme environments.

Leona’s Tricky Adventures is inspired by a clever puzzle game mechanic which was briefly explored in the very early 90s but sadly faded from prominence shortly after. The basic task is to match two increasingly complex patterns using increasingly complex mechanics. While it can’t be directly compared to any contemporary game the mental skills required by the puzzles put them somewhere in between “Picross” and “Bejeweled.

The game can now be bought for only 29.90 EUR excluding shipping but is also available via Steam for Windows!

Xump by Retroguru is a simple one screen puzzle game initially released in 2005 by Psilocybin Development. This overhaul is a rewrite featuring new graphics, new levels, new music… simply new everything. Ported to Dreamcast by Indiket.

Help Xump and his human master Holger to disarm mines on fields located somewhere above our atmosphere. Collect coins by destroying fields or mines but do not fall of the playing field. There are 48 levels plus hidden 32 original levels if you can unlock them.

Release notes (from Facebook Retroguru):

Indiket had to update our ‪#‎Dreamcast‬ port of Xump. With the last update we unfortunately introduced a mini-bug with the highscore. Please get ‪#‎Xump‬ v1.01.1 (zipped ISO) and don’t forget to delete the VMU save-file before playing the updated version. As usual thanks to Xavier for his efficient and fast update!

Playing as Volgarr the Viking, use your sword and spear to slaughter your foes in bloody combat. Battle Gigantic bosses in every world and find secrets that lead to unknown paths. Holding onto Volgarr’s gear is key; his very life depends on it!

The Dreamcast version is Freeware but if you appreciate the game for Dreamcast you might want to buy the commercial version from Steam? The game is available to buy for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux (requires SteamOS).

Changelog:

* (Taron) Added support for Achievement and Records tracking
* (Taron) Fixed World 4 Boss Theme music sometimes not playing
* (Taron) Added support for graphics clip rects (scissor test), to hide elements that aren’t supposed to be visible (most notably the treasure pile being visible under the floor in the Home Base room).
* (Taron) Fade out between maps is now properly fading to/from Black instead of White
* (Taron) Swapped the order of the Water and Undead worlds to restore the original intended order of those Worlds (they are only out of order on other platforms due to late tester feedback and they were never swapped back due to not wanting to mess up Leaderboard scores, which doesn’t apply here).

Fruit’Y – Playing with edibles is heavily inspired by the Kaiko classic Gem’X, which has been seen on computers such as the Commodore Amiga 500, Commodore 64 and Atari ST. The game consists of two boards of fruits. The left field belongs to a cute tiger who needs to reproduce the right field 1:1 being able to proceed to the next level. Sounds easy?! Possibly it does, at least for the first few levels!

Public downloads are available for these fine systems: Playstation Portable, GP2x Wiz, Dreamcast, Wii, GameCube, GCW Zero! Along with other systems not covered by PDRoms such as Amiga OS4, MorphOS, Linux, Windows, NetBSD, TI Nspire CX, …

For all who can not get the game at any of those three mentioned events, can order the game via DragonBox-Shop at a bargain of 2.99 EUR which basically only covers the physical production costs.
