Think of Die Critters Die v0.5 as a moddable game of PSP roadkill. Run over critters to gain points, avoid cones to minimize damage, and keep running over the poor defenseless bunnies. Simple right?

Well, that's one way to look at it. the_darkside_986 notes that you can also easily add your own gameplay wrinkles by modifying the game's configuration text to add graphics, increase the spawn count of objects, and basically make your game more like a steamroller running over defenseless kittens and ponies rather than a car running over defenseless deer and bunnies.

the_darkside_986 assures us the future releases will also include audio. In the meantime, feel free to try the game out and let the developer know what you think of his app on the forums.

So you wanna go for the roadkill, eh? Then this game definitely is for you! the_darkside_986 is proud to present to the PSP homebrew community">homebrew community a playable demo of his first game release for the handheld. Aptly entitled Die Critters Die!, we think this will be the perfect outlet for your rage if you're having a really bad day.

How does it go? Pretty much, it's like Frogger, only that you are the ones running over the animals with your car. The goal is simple. Just try to get as much points as you can by running over them possums (1 point), bunnies (2 points), and deer (10 points) before you run out of health. The deer, as it is a much bigger target, will definitely cause a lot of damage to your car, and hence, cost a little bit more from your health pack.

The cones cause 5% damage to the car, while a wrench can repair your car by the same amount. The controls are just as simple. The D-pad or analog hub moves the car around, speeding up or slowing down. To begin or pause the game, just press Start.

So, you should be all good to go with that. By the way, this is just a demo. But he does hope to get the finished product out and about by the end of this year, or the beginning of the next. His plan is to incorporate three built-in levels, as well as the ability to mod levels and objects using a plain text file.

So far, so good, the_darkside_986. Good luck!
