Flock

• Flock is a casual two dimensional game, with a top down perspective, using collision detection, sprite rotation; multiple backgrounds coded entirely using C, using the DS homebrew libraries of PA_lib & ndslib.

• The players use the stylus to direct birds to player’s goal, a red star.  The stylus can be used to place four arrows, which redirect the birds.  A.I. opponents also use arrows to redirect birds to their star.  It's a quick game with a only three rounds, per game, running at a hectic pace.  The puzzle mode gives the player a set of arrows with the objective of directing all the birds and avoiding all the hazards.

YarrgH!

• A game of fast action, involving hitting the falling air pirates with the stylus to score bounty points and protect your ship. The player’s allies, space cats, fly up through the pirate hordes and steal more bounty from the pirate’s airship. It was made at the Toronto Indie Game Developers Jam over the course of a weekend. It was my first ds game, done over a weekend with a comic artist Eric Kim.  While simple in concept, Yarrgh was perfect for a game jam as this simplicity made it easy to pick up and play.
