Following on the heels of Homebrew Week our coverage of the DS's indie development scene, programmer T4ils has released StillAliveDS, a fantastic 2D remake of Valve's first-person action/puzzler, Portal.
Muchlike the PC game, players must rely on their wits (and a portal gun) totransport themselves around each stage, aiming shots with their stylusand grabbing pieces of cake along the way. It might not have thegraphics of the original, but it definitely has the feel and charm. Hitthe screenshots in the gallery below to see what we mean.
Alongwith the maps included with the game, T4ils has also released an editorfor players to create their own levels. We haven't tried it out yet,but there's even some built-in functionality for sharing anddownloading maps right from your DS. And it's all free for you to download and play!
Not sure about how to get started with playing homebrew games on your Nintendo DS? Luckily for you, we've written up a (Semi) Ultimate Homebrew Guide with information on the hardware you'll need and how to set it all up! How awesome of us!
For those of you having trouble getting past the menu screen, walk upto the box in the middle of the room and try to grab it with yourstylus. This may take a few tries, unfortunately, but we found iteasier if you're just a few pixels away from the box. After you grabthe box, carry it over to the "Story" box.
