Homebrew game: Panic Paradyz

Posted Aug 29, 2007 at 8:27AM by QJ Staff Listed in: Homebrew Games Tags: benja32, Genevois, Xtreamlua

benja32 (creator of PSP Racer) over at the QJ.Net forums dropped us a line regarding a homebrew game recently released by the trio of Gibus (coding), Genevois Romuald (graphics), and Alexel (music). It's titled Panic Paradyz, where the player's goal is to guide a swarm of hearts (aka souls) through a series of obstacles. The game currently has 12 stages and 4 decorations/themes, with various power-ups to be found as you fly through each stage.

Here are the controls:

Joystick/analog nub: Move your vessel
R: Activate the magnet
L: Deactivate the magnet
START: /Menu pauses

As a further point of clarification, the magnet allows you to draw the souls to where you cursor is on the screen - we'll leave it to your creativity regarding how this can be used. As requested by the original authors, we advice readers to drop by the (French) xtreamlua forums to give their feedback for Panic Paradyz. Or, you can also opt to drop by the release thread here at QJ's PSP dev forums to check out who else picked up on the game.

# Good work — Guest 2007-08-29 04:18

This reminds of some homebrew game released 5 months ago or so. Resembles it somewhat

# Nice — Guest 2007-08-29 04:41

Nice work gfx and effects are done nicely

# WHAT? — Guest 2007-08-29 06:01

So the fact that I sent this in about 8 hours ago doesnt count for anything...

# the French ownz — Guest 2007-08-29 06:17

Seriously, why does North American homebrew (Timers, Time Baby, Heart Rate Monitor) suck so much compared to the French?

# Sublime... — Guest 2007-08-29 08:15

This is what homebrew is all about. In fact, this is gaming at its most pure. It reminds me a little of an old 8-bit game that I used to play on my Atari ST called Light Corridor. If I recall, that was an Infogrames title (having bought Atari from Hasbro, they renamed themselves Atari). I also believe that Light Corridor was also developed by the French.

However, I did not mean to make is sound like this is just a copy of an older game. It is very different and the gameplay is refreshingly engaging.

Enjoy this!

# Amazing... — Guest 2007-08-29 08:20

That's some awesome homebrew game - such quality is still quite rare, and especially for being the first release. I really expected some more comments about it, after testing this.

# HAHAHAHAHA — Guest 2007-08-29 08:57

you're an idiot!!

Time Baby, Heart Rate monitor and at least one of the timers are not american at all, they're made by Art, who is AUSTRALIAN!!!!

# nicely done once again! — Guest 2007-08-29 12:32

Another fun game from this development team! Keep at it and please make an update to UKKE!!!(I really love it)

# Nice game... — Guest 2007-08-29 19:59

This game is artistic and entertaining. There are not many original homebrew games of this caliber.

# cool — Guest 2007-08-31 19:15
