The game is currently in Early Access. Through the following weeks, I'm going to implement:

• New stages
• Visual enhancements
  
• New Music
• New gameplay mechanics
• General polishes

Q: Does this works on a Nintendo DS original hardware?
A: Actually, no. This is a PC application, but I tried to replicate as much as possible the look and feel of a DS game. This games even runs on the Nintendo DS original resolution!

Q: Why release this game in Early Access?
A: The game was developed as part of the $1 Jam, and for that reason, I've crammed as much development time inside the Jam duration as possible in order to release it, but I still wanted to do so much more to this project, which is why I'm still developing it.

When the game leaves Early Acces, the price will increase. At the moment, however, I'll be leaving the project costing U$1.

Q:  Will this game be a good fit for me even if I'm bad at drawing?
A: Being a good artist is by no means a requirement. The game doesn't evaluate your drawing skills at all. Since the goal is to defeat all aliens with a single wave of bullets, critical thinking on where to place the bullets is even more important than being able to draw.

Q:  I do like the idea of DS-inspired games. Are you working on other ones?
A: I am! I miss the (not so far away yet) days of dual screen gaming, which is why I already have another similar project ready to kick off (although, at the moment, I'll be prioritizing finishing SketchShot DS). If you are interested in more of these, considering following me here on Itch!
