[Release] Whack Mania --- Whack a mole around planets

So i have finally finished the port of a game I released a couple of years ago for IOS and Android called Whack Mania.
It is basically a Whack a Mole game but with very nice graphics (I worked with very professional people here) similar to Mario Galaxy. Instead of the classic game where the moles appear on holes on a plane here they appear around a planet and you need to rotate it in order to smash them. There are a few other game modes but I prefer you to take a look a give me your opinion :)

Here is a video of what the game is about


And here is a video of the 3ds version


Another video of one of the final bosses


You can find more info on my blog

I already tried Jumping jack, and it's working fine! Plus, I love it <3

If I extract the romfs.zip, Do I need to put all files in the same folder that the 3DSX file or in a folder, himself in the same folder that the 3DSX?
If jumping jack is working then I this could be a memory issue
Yeah, 3dsx and romfs.zip contents should be extracted at /3ds/WhackMania. This will also speed up loading times

I would like to see a left handed mode, since I'm left handed and I find it hard to play right handed.

Second this. Lefty here too. :)
Ok, I will add this. So many lefties in the scene!!

haha well to be totally honest I'm more ambidextrous but favor the left hand, but do a lot of stuff right handed. Mouse/keyboard = right handed, knife n fork = right handed, Write/draw/stylus etc = left handed... etc etc. :)

That being said, sadly i don't get far past the game actually booting on my n3ds, no matter how i have the romfs, either in the zip or extracted to the folder with the zip deleted, shortly after it loads it just crashes to home menu. :(

This is on ninjhax 1.1 not 2. Haven't bothered trying on my o3ds as i don't use it much nowadays.

There are too many combinations... This is even worse than working with Android devices...
I dunno about that. android can be a bitch with so many screen sizes/resolutions to support. It's getting out of hand!

Well this is interesting... mixed results, ninjhax 1.1, just after the initial "loading" screen, game crashes to home. Ninjhax 2.1 via youtube, game runs but after a level is failed (apparently i suck) and i click the menu button, game sits there with the screen doing weird flashing/flickering indefinitely. Only way out is power off.

It doesn't work for me. Which sucks because I want to play this soooo bad.

It works for me, but don't know if I had glitches because of it or not. I'l try again and see if it's because of this game or another one, sometimes the 3ds glitches out when using 3d on HomeBrew.

It stays on a black screen then I have to power off to get back into the Homebrew Launcher.

Edit: This happened to a protype of Pictochat3D I think we had to swap some buffers. I'm not really sure. Either that or we had to many pixels in a array. Or neither! I forget to be honest.

Yeah, but offtopic where can I download pictochat3D?

EDIT:

forgot that you are still developing it
I hope to release by 9/2/15 because that is when I am back in school so I will be very busy. The online thing is the only thing left to do is the online chat. I will do atheistic updates occasionally. Like a actually 3ds style keyboard unlike the one I have now.

    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
