It's been a couple of months, but we're happy to report that theb1rdm4n has finally released an update to his homebrew game known as Birdman's Shooter, bringing the version number up to v1.3

For those who don't remember what Birdman's Shooter v1.3 is all about, here's a quick recap. Birdman's Shooter is essentially a clone of space shooter Galaga, with your lone ship taking on a horde of enemies that are placed in specific battle formations. Naturally, you have to shoot them down while avoiding enemy fire.

In any event, below are the changes made to the program. Feel free to try the game out, and enjoy!

  •  A sleek new interface

another bloody invaders / galaga clone?

I can tell you what's missing. Originality. Why oh why do PSP devs insist on just doing remakes of older games? This is just another Space Invaders / Galaga clone - there's a million of them on this system already through official release, emulation and homebrew release. Yes, very professional product for a homebrew release and applause for the effort, but can't the devs put their creative energy towards delevoping games that are more unique? Or if they're remakes, how about checking to see if it's already been done by 5038374952 other brew devs first? Bah.
