NeoFlash Summer Coding Competition ’07 entry: Codename Hacker

Here’s another for those keeping tabs on NeoFlash Summer Coding Competition 2007: homebrew developer alekmaul joins the fray with Codename Hacker, a Nintendo DS port of the classic puzzle game from Atari Lynx.

Players will take the shoes of Chip, guiding him through several mazes to collect chips in order to impress Melinda. Only ’til then will our hero be able to join the computer club, Bit Busters. The game is 149 levels long, and offers various puzzle solving elements to keep you on your toes.

As you make your way through mazes, traps scattered all over the place will try to hinder your progress. Some traps you should watch out for are:

• FORCE FLOOR TRAPS: propel you with lightning speed from one area to another without allowing you to stop. Sometimes you can use this force to propel you to a desired location, however most of the time you will need to collect a magnet to neutralise the effect.
• FIRE TRAPS: impassable bonfires laid out to block your progress. Use a fire
• shield to walk through fire traps.
• WATER TRAPS: either build a bridge of dirt blocks or have a water shield in your inventory to get through them.
• ICE TRAPS: slippery obstacles that make you slide right past your goal. Cleats are required to be able to walk over ice traps.

You will also encounter plenty of monsters, tanks, and thieves that are there to take you down. More objects are waiting for you to discover them, so get your Nintendo DS out and start playing!
