Not to toot my own horn for its own sake, but I believe that there are only two homebrew falling tetramino games for the GBA worth playing more than about twice: Code Waves's Tet*is Advance and Pin Eight's TOD. The others are interesting "hello world" type apps, but the polish just isn't there.

I have to toot my own horn, too. I played my own Hearts game
more than any other until just recently - Lunar Legend has taken
over now.

It still needs sound. Maybe I'll get that figured out soon.

There are a shitload of good GBA games... "Wonkie Guy", the 4k Tetris by Yarin (don't remember the name right now), and a lot lot more games...

My favorites are marked with "!" on pdroms :)

Besides Grumpy Cat's "Thrust" ;-) I really like "Elite: The New Kind" - a port of the classic "Elite" for the BBC micro, based on Christian Pinder's reverse engineering of the original BBC source.

It's available here (source too): http://www.quirky.remakes.org/html/eliteinfo.html

He's done an excellent job.

Grumpy.

Now i'm addict to Maya Mystery!
It's a very good puzzle game.
