For detalis of BJ, see here:
http://www.codejedi.com/battlejewels/
Its akin to Capcom's Puzzle Fighter, but blending gem-dropping puzzler with RPG and streetfighter. ie: Play puzzle to get mana to cast spells to blow away opponent, including levelling up and buying gear.
I've been working on the game for more than a year now, for a dozen platforms.
I post now because .. I posted an early early alpha for PSP months ago, but got flamed by dozens of people all over the place, due to similarities to a certain commercial game. (Which annoye dme to no end, since I'd been working on BJ since long before they ever announced their game. Damn my luck they got out first :) Still, the games are very different, just looking similar from a screenshot of the main battle mode.
I can pop out a PSP build easy as pie .. my build system lets me produce for a half dozen or so platforms. I've just not bothered with a free PSP release again due to being flamed so much last time.
(I also don't really want to step on any toes, including those other lads; their game is good, they worked hard on it, they deserve to win nicely :) But mine will be free homebrew for the PSP, so wouldnt' dent them.
Anyway, should I release a build for PSP, or just not bother? I'm not interested in being flamed by pspupdates kiddies again :)
