Martian DS 1.2

[wraggster]

ThousandKnives has posted a new release of his shootemup for the DS:

You are the Martian- you are BRUTE! You are going to destroy earth and you're starting with this name.

I have uploaded a *minor* update of this game. The widespread feedback on this game has changed my mind about leaving it quite yet- though I'm still not sure how far it will go.

The game now uses Libfat and thus will crash certain emulators (I'm looking at you Dualis). Not sure about slot 2 devices, as I don't own one and so I haven't tested that. Works on my slot 1 perfectly, and will run on No$GBA though scores will be lost after powering off.

In this update:
- Better sound effect support
- Board to keep Top 10 scores & name entry.
- Various map edits
- First boss actions tweaked
- Powerup frequency reduced

Just got round to playing this (there's so much DS Homebrew around at the moment), and I'm glad i did because it's cool. Works fine on the R4.

It's really good. The sprites are excellent and the home-made sound effects are cool. I'd love to see more levels or maybe even directional aiming, or being able to keep 2 weapons and switch between them (much like Contra 3/Super Probotector). I hope the writer continues to evolved the game.

Agreed.

super cool game, even with 2 levels, but it needs more!
