RetroRocket is a high paced action game inspired by classic gravity games like Thrust and the amiga game TurboRaketti II. It is a game designed for Nintendo DS and requires a homebrew compatible flash card.
RetroRocket is free software (GPL).
Features
- Single and multiplayer games
- DS-to-DS (liblobby) communication for multiplayer support, no accesspoint needed.
- All original TurboRaketti-II maps
- All original Thrust levels
- Real time strategy mode where you can collect resources and buy weapons and upgrades
- New two-player Thrust-like games where each player tries to collect more balls than the opponent
- Autogeneration of maps (thanks to Kyrre Glette for programming)
- Menus with stylus support
Troubleshooting
- If you are having troubles with connecting, try setting the network channel to 11. Some NDS models do not support the way we change the network channel, making them responsive only on the default channel (11).
