PSPTris ver. 0.5 for PSP

[sandberg]

Hi,

PSPTris version 0.5 has been released. This is a stand alone Tetris clone for the PSP. The plan is to have it running as a plugin for PSPRadio. But it will also be released as a stand alone version, for those having 2.x firmware, which can't use the dynamic version of PSPRadio.

This version has all the basic gameplay in place. It still needs a bit polishing, but I wanted to release this preview to get some feedback.

Br, Sandberg.

Good job.

P.S. Anyone else notice how popular Danzeff is becoming? It seems like all the new homebrews are using it :).

It's so much easier to use Danzeff than the Sony OSK, and it's also much faster to type in Danzeff :)

This is so great - i've played it the whole day :D made drain my psp batterie two times :D

-Maybe you can smoothen up the block movement a bit for the next release, its all a bitt stuttering. also the rotation of the blocks feels strange.

-And add more background Tunes :) Hearing that tetris song for about 8h today made me crazy :) dunno what mod routine you used and if it supports .xm aswell but there are alot chiptunes out there without big filesizes like: http://www.chiptune.com/files/xm/traven-tetris_gb_ingame.zip

-How about an Option for rotating the screen 90° you could move the blocks easy with the dpad and you have a larger screen for the blocks

-sometimes i have the feeling that the blocks are moving too slow from left to right ... or the playfield wide is to large.. dunno

Dont get this as critics, i just wanted to share some improvements that popped in my mind while playing. Keep up that great work and i am realy looking forward to see a new release soon.. not a one time shot that we seen way to often in psp homebrew scene :(

This has already been done. I've gotten a lot of comments about this :)

The modplayer plays more or less every mod type available, so I will check the out. The only problem about it is credits etc. But I'll figure something out.

This has been added to my to-do list. A lot of people has asked about this.

I'm currently working on several games, which will be playable from PSPRadio. So that you can waste your time playing some games while listening to radiostations or your own music. Usefull when ever you have waiting time and is near a WiFi hotspot :)

Will you also release them as stand-alone games ? Although I love the progress PSPRadio has made, I don't use it because I don't have a wireless connection. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Just a thought. I've sent you a PM as well.

cant wait for news :)

@ F34R : Yes. All of them will be released as stand-alone versions also. The plugin system for PSPRadio only works on 1.5 FW. So the stand-alone versions will be released for all those using 2.x FW.

@ 1timeuser : Besides PSPTris, I have a more or less finished Suduko game, which I like my self :) .. Plus some other game titles (table soccer etc.), which still needs some coding. I'm open for suggestions for other games as well. Just no 1st person shooters :-) Those are soo boring ..

This release looks great! The screen does look a bit wide; I will still d/l it, but it will be perfect once you can rotate the PSP 90 degrees to play. Beautiful job though - this is the best Tetris clone I've seen to date. B4 this, Tetris.JP was teh one!

does the high score save?
