DS homebrew announcements > Waimanu DS [updated 1.01, Feb 23rd 2011]

I bet most of you already know that but I wanted to post it here anyway.

Holy Hell GBA game author and fellow forum user genecyst and me, together with the dig and mu ho, are proud to present our new homebrew DS game: Waimanu Daring Slides. (of course it uses libxm7 for music!)

Quote:
Evil alien jellies, the Wekas, have arrived to Earth. Their plan is to colonize our planet and subdue every form of life on it. But Waimanu, despite being only a little blue penguin, will fight the Wekas for the freedom of Earth inhabitants.
[...]
To completely defeat the alien invaders, Waimanu should eliminate them from each one of the 4 different areas where they are hiding. There are 8 different levels for each area with increasing number of Wekas, and they even get smarter as the battle goes on, so expect them to become more aggressive as they realize how much a little blue penguin can be a threat to their conquest plan.
'HARD' game mode is even available for those who find the challenge too simple in the standard 'EASY' mode. More Wekas for you to squash!
Eight different tunes will drive you through the journey to free the Earth and a bunch of sound effects will highlight every action that is taking place on screen.

Feedback is really appreciated (we've even set up a forum for that, and for posting high scores too!)

:D :D :D

Some bugfixing, see blog post for details.

BTW I've read somewhere that Waimanu DS can be run directly from the Nintendo DSi SD card with the 'SudokuHax exploit', anyone can confirm this?

Yes it works perfect from sudokuhax, one of the games I tested prior to sudokuhax release. :-)
