Homebrew [Release] Hex-a-Hop for 3ds (using lib SDL 1.2 )

[nop90]

Hex-a-Hop is a hexagonal tile-based puzzle game with one simple goal: destroy all green tiles! There are infinite undos and no time limits -- you just have to find a way to destroy all the green tiles and step on a safe tile at the end.

Looks cool! Will try out when I get home.

Nice! Will try it!

Released a new version with background music, but now the flickering is worse.

The probelm is the 640x480 internal resolution that drains too much cpu, I should resize all the gfx to 320x240 and fix the code, but the resources are pached in dat files.

I need to find the time to unpack the dat file, make changes and pack them again.

Found a problem in the sdl lib. Timorrow I'll release an update of the game more stable.

 

[Bubsy Bobcat]

Apart from the main character looking incredibly ugly, this game looks really fun.

 

[nop90]

Lib fixed and build updated. Now I'm trying to fix the exiting problem and release a final version.

 

[nop90]

Final version released.

No changes in the game code, only fixed problems in the SDL lib (using version released two days ago).

Not only fixed the game exiting from the 3ds home menu (CIA build) but also solved the remaining flickering.

 

[nop90]

Released a new version that fixes the jump key not working (needed only after completing about half of the game).
