PS2Dev have posted the results of their Fourth Creation Game competition today. In case you haven't been following this competition, the nominees for the PSP part of this competition were:

• Jump Gunnar, Jump from PSPSMM
  
• Meeku's Quest - Beyond the Gateway for PSP by illfoundedmind Production Studio
• Break-IN by OmegaGames
• PSPTris by Sandberg
• Droplets from Drakonite/Makeshift Development

More information on the competition entries can be found here. There were three judges for the PS2Dev PSP competition, and the outcome was very close between the 5 homebrew games entered. PS2Dev would like say that both Break-In and Jump Gunnar, Jump had no sound, and if they had sound, it would have considerably increased their score.

However, the overall winner was Droplets by Drakonite - Well done to him! He is now the proud owner of the console of his choice - a PS2 or a PSP! Here's the results for each of the entries, scored in points:

• Droplets for PSP: 34.6
• PSPTris: 31.5
• Meeku's Quest: 25.6
• Break-In: 23.5
• Jump Gunnar, Jump!: 19.6

I'm a 90's baby, but that doesn't mean I wasn't exposed to the game Breakout. In fact, I've been a big fan of Breakout-inspired games such as this Game Gear game, whose title I can't seem to remember, plus Brick in iPod. Seems like I have a new game to immerse myself into.

Break-In is a PS2Dev Fourth Creation entry which plays out just like Breakout; but this time out, the paddle has been removed. To create a different game experience, Break-In will have the blocks rotating around the ball. This different style also allows players to enjoy the game by using just the left and right buttons, seeing the board spin clockwise and counterclockwise.

Since this is a Breakout-inspired game, Break-In's classic mode has the objective of eliminating all the blocks. There will be different power-up blocks that will make your Break-In experience more exciting - watch out for blocks that will add an extra ball, blow up surrounding blocks, and send the ball spinning into a devilish frenzy.

This OmegaGames-developed game includes a Missions mode, where you can try passing through all 10 missions. There will be missions wherein you'll be asked to clear 80% of the field or keep the ball in play for over 50 seconds. The Custom mode will let you create your own Break-In round - just run the supplied editor on your computer (.net platform) and you can see your own round concept in play.

OmegaGames promises to keep you updated with new custom rounds via their website. Try out Break-In and enjoy Breakout like you've never experienced it before!
