Homebrew ColumnsDS

[a2h]

ColumnsDS is a recreation of the Columns game from ages ago. It's still an alpha though, so it's incomplete and there'll probably be bugs. Although it doesn't look like it was designed in Paint in two seconds, mind you. Oh, how to play, you ask? It's pretty simple, just match up 3 gems either horizontally, vertically or diagonally.

Columns, awesome. Used to play that all the time on the Mega Drive, even maxed out all the counters in one game. I'll have to try this later when I have some time to spare.
