AmplituDS released
The first release of AmplituDS is out now! Both a Turrican remix version, and a SMB remix version! Hurry to the AmplituDS page already.
My first real project for the NDS, and it being one of the first homebrew games to feature music and not only that, but on top of that it's actually also used as gameplay element. It's based on the gameplay of Amplitude for the PlayStation 2.
The current release only uses SRAM to save one's highscores and options. Support for FAT and thus allowing people to create (and insert) their own game stages will follow shortly, also including the ability to write the savefile as a file to the inserted FAT card.
Other than that... It should be noted that the game is not the easiest game out there. For beginners, I recommend starting out by choosing Close View as camera mode and using the Turrican version. The SMB remix stage is harder but more fun if you get it right due to the high recognisability factor of the song. :)
So, have fun!
