Darksoft (http://www.darksoft.net/hexaxispsp.php) have released a new version of their excellent 3D puzzle game for the PSP.

Heres whats new:


Added 2 levels (3 complete levels, each with unique music tracks and background image / color scheme)
Added Line Effects for when the dice goes down, light shoots left and right on the line the die is on.
Added very cool level transitions (you have to see it to believe it)
Modified mp3player.c to allow turning volume up and down on an mp3 as well as stream in and out new tracks. Between levels, the mp3 of the last level fades down, and the next level is streamed in as the volume goes back up
Full screen color effects are now running full speed
Game runs 60-100fps with mp3 playing and full screen color blending due to massive optimizations
Added Gravity, when you clear a combo with dice above it, they fall to the bottom smoothly.
Now when the random dice at the bottom appear the dice above it smoothly move up (opposite gravity) then the random die goes from transparent to opaque smoothly.
When the wipe line clears the dice they smoothly go from 100% scale down to 0%
Turbo button - hold CROSS to make the dice move quickly left and right - which means CROSS no longer changes the view
Removed rotating grid with buttons except zoom in and out.
Added AT3 to eboot xmb that matches the pc version title screen (about 20 seconds worth anyway)
Made a much better looking grid transparency. Bottom is still a little hard to see sometimes though.

This game is truly awesome :)

Homebrew is almost always fun to play, this game is so professional in gameplay and look.

I love the eye candy, especially when it changes levels!

If I had one criticism it would be that the hippie tie die level looks great, but personally I find It harder to play with that colour scheme.
Its probably just my 'old' eyes though so I wouldn't pay too much attention to me :)

This game rocks, thanks man.

Hm..I could compare it with Lumines. It's puzzle..

Well Yes!! Another update for this game! One of my favorite homebrew games for PSP.

Yeah Hippie is a little darker, and the colors are not finalized, was just curious with the current setup how close I could come to the pc version.
