The first XtreamLua/Gx-MOD Lua contest held last December by sites XtreamLua.com and Gx-MOD.com was considered a big success, so the two teamed up again to bring us XtreamLua/Gx-MOD contest 2007. Developers sent in their homebrew games and applications for the PlayStation Portable and the Nintendo DS. Gx-MOD has provided the prizes this time around: 125 EUR for the first placer, 75 EUR for the second placer, and the third placer gets a UMD of GTA: Vice City Stories.

We're giving you the first batch of the contest finalists, so check them out and see how these homebrew games play for you.

Darkyrinth v0.1
Developer: Nicovideo

In this game, players have to find the exit out of various labyrinths, all the while trying to avoid obstacles as they go through the mazes. Nicovideo's creation comes in 2 versions, one for PSPs running on FW 1.50, and one for those using OE custom firmware. Before trying this game out, read this disclaimer from the dev first: "This version contains four different levels and an introduction for the firmware 1.50 (not for mow firmwares OE in order to avoid a bug, the author who has not been able to test its play on these firmwares)."

Enjoy the game!

GangBall
Developer: Dinacy

Our weblator explains the gameplay of this piece of homebrew: "You must carry out a succession of 5 with the same ball for all the balls in a precise order." We're assuming it's explaining that players need to be to make 5 successful goals with one kind of ball, and then go on to make 5 more goals using a different kind of ball (tennis ball, basketball, etc.). Players will be able to get to the next level depending on their scores at the end of each level. The game is coded in Lua for the PSP.

Controls of the game follow:
  • Cross: To be useful itself of the fist
  • Arrow of right-hand side: To direct the fist towards the line
  • Arrow of left-handed person: To direct the fist towards the left
