This is the beginnings of a 2D space shooter with destructible walls. You use the Wiimote to aim, the b button to shoot and the nunchuck analog stick to move. Shoot the round things that move towards you to survive and gain points. The wiimote vibrates when your being hurt. There is a lot left to be added and reworked but its functional at this point.

Further release notes:

Along with having black and white monochrome visuals the sprites are also noticeably pixelated. I took the retro pretend low rez thing a lot less serious then I did with Pineapple Apocalypse RPG though. The sprites are even blockier but well Pineapple Apocalypse RPG stuck rigidly to its fake pseudo 320×240 resolution 1bit Invaders simply doesn’t. The sprites get placed at any appropriate position on screen and things move more smoothly then would be possible if everything was being actually rendered at the low resolution that the blocky sprites might suggest it is.

Priiloader is a modified version of the officially discontinued Preloader. Preloader is a small application which places itself before the System Menu. Its main feature is to directly boot the Homebrew Channel or a file you can install from a FAT device. Preloader is also able to apply memory patches the system menu to remove limitations or other things. Warning! This homebrew makes permanent changes to your Wii’s flash memory (NAND) and should be used with caution.

Changes:

– Fixed bug with USBGecko
– Merged the old black theme with the new white one (thanks BlackPearl & Bad Uncle! ). they are changable in the settings
– Fix some elf loading
– Added a check on boot so some apps can reboot/launch system menu and force priiloader to show up (see magicword.zip)
– Fixed random (with very low % to actually happen)crash when loading dol/elf caused by wiimote
– Re-added USB support. USB is used if SD is not found
– Added Sanity checks when installing priiloader
– Fixed Bootstate bug which made the health check pop up when resetting wii(or returning to wii settings)
– Stopped priiloader from reloading ios if the chosen IOS = the already loaded IOS (in most cases System menu IOS)
– Added Stub IOS Detections when loading bootmii ios or IOS for System Menu. Only IOS 21 seems to be detected as stub…

TetriCycle is Tetris projected onto a cylindrical surface. Rotate the cylinder left/right such that the descending piece falls into place.

Release notes:

I consider this release “pre-alpha”, as it’s not yet feature complete, but homebrew tends not to follow the typical product development cycle; thus, this is the first “beta” release.

Kuklomenos is an abstract shoot-em-up. Minimalistic graphics, short game-length. Gameplay lies somewhere between Centipede and Starship Command.

Quote:

I have only statically recompiled the source of the Wiz version by HopeZ (Thank’s a lot for the source).

I have slightly modified the source to increase speed on GP2X excluding libcurl and relative Highscore reporting , also changed sound rate from 44100 –> 22050 and reduced sound buffer (from 512—> 256) and sound Channels (from 32—>16)

Also changed the message of button used on the game…
