DS homebrew announcements > Plasticshell (video demo)

Hey guys, after a year of NDS homebrewing, this is what I've come up with:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXAtOYcAcbs

The gist of the project was to see how platformers (such as MetalSlug) would do if they were played sideways on the DS.

I also want to say thanks to everyone who helped me here at this forum, especially tepples and wintermute because they know everything.

Looks nice. Good job. Seems to work properly, and I especially like the blood splatters. ;p
I'm not sure if I would really like playing such games sideways like that with larger levels though. Like this it's fine to just dodge bullets and shoot back, but if it would actually scroll?

Very nice looking & looks like fun to play! When will you release it?

Thanks for the feedback guys. I really appreciate it.

Don't hold your breath for a release because there's still a lot of things to polish up and I've been tied up with other projects. There are some sprite performance issues and I haven't gotten a handle on the audio stuff yet. Also I should probably replace the Metal Slug graphics if there was going to be a release.
