Okay, I have uploaded an 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 (and I don't know if it will bug out if unpatched - maybe I should test that).

What it has:
* Splash Screen
* Main Menu (Only New Game and Credits do anything)
* Level Selection (See below)
* One Test Level - (This is NOT how they will look when released, just for testing!)
* Shooting
* Enemies that shoot back
* Hit-point tracking (player and enemies)
* Two Enemies with AI (Sea Urchins and SCOOWBA Fish)
* In-Game Pause Menu (Continue and Save & Quit both work)
* 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:
* Scoring
* Any storytelling at all
* Good damage animations
* Death animations (they just disappear for now)
* More than one level
* More than two enemies
* Completely functional menus
* A bunch of other stuff a platform game should have that I can't think of right now

Controls
Main Menu
Use the up/down d-pad to select items and A to activate
OR use the stylus to select and tap again to activate

In-Game
Left and right - move (duh)
Down - crouch
A - jump (& double-jump)
A + Down - drop down a platform
B - shoot

I think that covers it. If you let me know of a new bug, I'll add you to my playtesters list in the credits (if you want).

For those who are unaware of the GP2X, where have you been all this time?
It's the hardware behind the largest homebrew gaming community out there! It's also some of my core audience here at zodttd.com. I've been discussing the new model of the GP2X, the F200, with the GP2X distributors out there. The expected "due date" of the F200 is October 22nd. And since nobody outside of GPH has received them yet, I am unable to get one early for a preview as planned. The day my F200 arrives not only will I have a review, but some software for it as well. As I mentioned earlier I have a history of PocketPC/Palm/PDA experience and am welcoming the addition of the F200. With it's addition of the touchscreen, I am able to put a lot of my software library currently unreleased on this handheld.

And here is the issue at hand. There is a large number of developers I've spoken to who are thinking about skipping the F200. With all the talk of the "Craiginator" many developers for the GP2X have given up developing anything new for the GP2X, new model or not. Why is this? They tend to say it's a matter of having no audience for their work. The Craiginator handheld will be great. It will be better than the F200 infact!

But did you know it will also be delayed due to the release of the F200? Why? Well think about it. Where does Craig get the funding for the Craiginator...from sales of the F200. If the F200 is a failure due to lack of sales, I am leaning towards thinking it will delay the Craiginator further, though thats my speculation.

Why must the GP2X be left behind so early? There's months upon months before we will be seeing new handhelds appear, not to mention the Nokia N900 (more on that later). The community is abandoning the GP2X, and without the community, developers are left without users for their software. Rlyeh was working on TV OUT and Fine Scaling. But it seems to be getting abandoned because if he's not using it, and there's nobody else to use it, why bother?

Breathe some life into the community before it disbands and leaves future handhelds without an audience too. How? Buy the GP2X F200. It has all the usage of the GP2X with the added bonus of a better design/dpad and a touchscreen. So please, PLEASE, support the community and upgrade. If anything, do it to hold yourself over until we can give the Craiginator a chance.

Many of the larger homebrew sites out there and their owners are starting to see the GP2X dying out. Releases have dwindled and news is slow. What are we left with on gp32x forums? A large newsthread about new handhelds. But not the F200. People must understand that without the F200 to keep the community together, it will split and disband. Leaving no room for further handhelds.

Hopefully I have drilled it into heads now how important this is.

Pixelizer is my first public release. The game takes its likeness from the palettes and boards of Animal Crossing. Since there were already so many designs for it, I figured that would be best. The game also take part of its gameplay from Pencil Puzzles. Pencil Puzzles are small puzzles in the back of Tips & Tricks magazine. (Thanks T & T) The object is to fill in squares to form a picture. Well, combining that, with Animal Crossing brings you the addicting game you see here. And yes, there is a coder by the name of Access_Denied who created Pencil Puzzles for the PSP, but in all honesty, the code wasn't that good. (Sorry Access_Denied) His game is what inspired me to make this. Anyway, here's what the game is.

GamePlay
The object is simple. Fill in squares until you get a picture. On the right of the giant grid, you will see a block titled "Current Block". Copy that block's pixels over to the giant grid, following the coordinates indicated by the two 'arrows' to guide you to which box. As you progress, the picture will become more clear, but more confusing at the same time. In this case, look at the preview box to get a smaller, clearer picture of it. When you're done you shall see the beautiful picture. Then, simply take a screenshot, and you're done. Start a new puzzle.

Controls
R-Trigger + L-Trigger -- Change Current Block.
Triangle -- Change from giant grid to color select menu.
Cross -- Assign the highlighted square the current color.
Start -- Take a screenshot. (Saved in ~/Pixelizer/ScreenShots/xxxxx.png)
Select + Circle -- Return to menu to select puzzle.
