Homebrewin’

A couple of nice apps on the handhelds that play for Nintendo’s team.

From Spain comes Lupi with a DS Zelda homebrew codenamed Zelda Platformer. While he’s coding the enemy engine at the moment, so far Lupi’s achieved a level system, collision system, life system with hearts, Link sound effects, title screen, most sword attacks, bombs, arrows, and an 8-direction boomerang. When he’s done with it, a demo will be available for download. [via Joystiq]

Then, homebrewer AkumaATR gives the GBA Gleam, a very cool and interesting knock-off of the PSP’s best (original) game, Lumines. Single screen game going to a single screen system. That’s how i like it. Download through here. [via Kotaku]
