News/release from Kiswa (http://palib.info/forum/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=3531&viewmode=flat&order=ASC&type=&mode=0&start=20)
Okay, I have uploaded a new Alpha demo of the game. You will want to DLDI patch it for your homebrew device as it uses FAT to auto-create a game save. Also, if you downloaded the previous alpha, you will need to delete the old .sav file as they are not likely to work right.
What it has:
* Splash Screen
* Main Menu (Only Options does nothing)
* Level Selection (See below)
* One Test Level - (This is NOT how they will look when released, just for testing!)
* Shooting
* Scoring
* Damage animations
* Enemies that shoot back
* Hit-point tracking (player and enemies)
* Two Enemies with AI (Sea Urchins and SCOOWBA Fish)
* One enemy that should have better AI (the stingray)
* In-Game Pause Menu (again, only Options does nothing)
* Lid checking (pause menu if in-game lid close)
* Some bugs (e.g. urchins flicker into screen just before appearing)
What it does NOT have:
* Any storytelling at all
* Good death animations (only urchins do anything now)
* More than one level
* More than three enemies
* Completely functional menus - still working on the Options!
* A bunch of other stuff a platform game should have
