Homebrew developer Leviadragon who helped develop Triple Triad PSP joined the Neo Summer Coding Competition with Hamtaro Holidays. This quirky game looks to be a contender with its cute graphics and fun gameplay.

Partial as this blogger is to hamsters, it was impossible not to smile as the little hamster ran around the screen reacting to what I was giving it. The game is identical to the Tamagotchi with your pet displaying different moods and dispositions depending on what it was feeling.

Interaction is very simple and you have various tools on the lower left hand corner of the screen to use if you want to feed, play with, or even give gifts to your little rodent. Download the program and try it out especially if you like hamsters or Tamagotchi type games.

Zero-One let us know that he and the rest of the Triple Triad team (Sakya , Peoplechamp, Nedra, Leviadragon, and Sephzero) have released an updated version of their now-famous Triple Triad card game for the PSP.

For those who haven't heard of it, Triple Triad PSP v0.4.21 is a PSP remake of the FFVIII minigame known as Triple Triad. In it, you use place cards on a board in a complex game of tic-tac-toe to have more spaces fall under your control than your opponent by using high-numbered cards to take adjacent territories.

In any case, below is the changelog. Be sure to thank the Triple Triad team for their hard work, and feel free to check our forums for more information on their release. Enjoy!

CHANGELOG:

GDR PARAMETERS:

• When you register now,you will enter randomly in on of the majors world capitals,'cause Balamb's Garden where often full of people and a little too messy.
• Also,your region is saved for further developements...Regional tournaments anyone?
• One other thing has been changed is the card cost when selling.
• We saw there was a lot of difference between users levels,and gils were easy to get (with trading even easier, reselling captured cards). Now we re-calculated the selling ratio to 1/4*Card cost. Card cost depends on your alignment.

Leviadragon has added his own entry into the NeoFlash Spring Coding Competition 2007. It's a Rockman clone of sorts, called Leviaman Zero Neo, and it looks pretty snappy.

Now, we're not sure what the story is, but if it's Rockman based, then you're certainly going to have to face some bosses. On the other hand, you can apparently expect a cameo from Mario, if the screenshots below are any indication.

The latest version of the game now has sound and has additional bugfixes to make the game run more smoothly. Now would be a good time to try it out, either on your PSP or, as Leviadragon adds, "on Windows with Last Luaplayer." Enjoy!
