- Review Excerpt:
- He
was in love. He, my six year old son, was motivated to complete the
tasks in order to move forward. Which, I thought, was a pretty good
lesson in the long run. A much better choice of a DS game then so many
others on the market. - Classy Chaos

Flock (Nintendo DS - indie)

-
Flock a
casual two dimensional game, with a top
down perspective, using collision detection, sprite rotation; multiple
backgrounds coded entirely using C, using the DS homebrew libraries of
PA_lib & ndslib.
-
The
players use the stylus to
direct birds to player’s goal, a red star. The stylus can be
used
to place four arrows, which redirect the birds.
A.I. opponents also use arrows to redirect birds to their
star. It is a quick game with only three rounds, per game,
running at a hectic pace. The puzzle mode gives the player a
set
of arrows with the objective of directing all the birds and avoiding
all the hazards.

A
game of fast action, involving
hitting the falling air pirates with the stylus to
score bounty points and protect your ship. The player’s allies, space
cats, fly up through the pirate hordes and steal more bounty from the
pirate’s airship. It was made at the Toronto
Indie Game Developers Jam
over the course of a weekend. It was my first ds game, done
over a
weekend with a comic artist Eric Kim. While simple in concept,
Yarrgh was perfect for a game jam as this simplicity made it easy
to
pick up and play.
