A great puzzle game concept has been released by Nrx called Mario Balls:

I've recently decided to have a look to the GBA; my first little achievement is this "Mario Balls".
You'll find screenshots & a readme file in the zip archive attached, together with the ROM.

For future updates, check the Player Advance forum (in French):
http://www.playeradvance.org/index.php?showtopic=6714

Note: The source code is also available (check the link on the PA forum);
the game is to be recompiled using VisualHAM (there is a "HowToCompile.txt" shipped with the sources).

The demo features great use of rotational screen effects and is very playable.

Download the game straight from the main web site!

For those who would be interested, someone has added some sound & music to Mario Balls. This is only a preliminary work, but it already enhances the game a lot: [url=http://www.artplastique.free.fr/nrx/GBA/MarioBalls/ROM/MarioBallsMusic%20(by%20Mollusk).zip]download![/url] Thanks to Mollusk for his work.

Also, I've started a new game, which gonna be a mix of RTS/management: "God". You can download the alpha version here. At the moment I mainly worked on the 3d engine - I let you have a look yourself if you want to. Note: source code is available from there.
