Vortex Battle Arena Release 1
Developer: Akabane87

This game will have two players competing at destroying the most balls of the same color a their own sprite. Players gain additional points for destroying balls matching their color, but will lose points if they destroy balls of the same color as their opponent. Interestingly enough, it appears that both players will play on the same PSP, at least according to the controls:

• Player 1 (located on the left and having the red ball):
• D-Pad (up and down arrows): Move the gun
• Left trigger: To draw
• Player 2 (located on the right and having the green ball)
• Triangle and X: Move the gun
• Right trigger: Draw
• Start: To leave the part

PSP developer Akabane87 has just announced the release of his homebrew game titled Snake_Multi. This game is a Lua-scripted PSP adaptation of the popular Snake game you've probably played on your mobile, and allows for two-player support if you've got a buddy who's also got this loaded in their PSP.

The rules are simple: each player must be able to grab the "fruit" onscreen to build up points while at the same time trying to avoid hitting their opponent's snake. Doing so will deduct one point from each player; players that tangle up their snakes automatically lose. Move the snake around by using the directional buttons on your D-pad. Pressing the "Select" button turns off the scoreboard.

Version 1.1 now carries a start screen and more detailed game mechanics. Players can win by reaching 20 points before their opponent does or by making their opponent go beyond -10 points on their score. This download is for PSP running on custom firmware 3.XX OE. Enjoy you guys!
