Platdude’s adventure is soon to end, I guess. Jayenkai‘s rolled out his latest installment for his JNKPlat DS 08 homebrew, and it’s got a curious subtitle to it: Platdude’s Happy Endings.

So does Platdude really get a happy ending? What does he find outside the door once he finally escapes? We don’t have the answers to those, unfortunately. What we do have, however, are the details that come along with this game.

The Controls

• There’s two jump buttons, and a hold button.
• The hold button, B, can be used to dangle from hooks, vines and red floors. It can also be used to drag red boxes.
• The two jump buttons, Y and A, jump left and right respectively. It’s easy once you try. If you really dislike it, you can switch to single button jump on the main menu, but I wouldn’t recommend it! Some things happen too quickly to stop and turn around!

The Level Packs

• Level packs can contain many many levels, but each level must be played in the order layed out in the pack.
• No saves! If you die 3 times, you’re right back at the start.

The Editor

• Tap the middle icon on the titlescreen to enter the editor.
• Draw a level.
• Hold a trigger, and a Wipe/Quit and Test button appear at the bottom. If you test a level, and subsequently complete it, and you can then also Save it from this same Trigger-based menu. Note : You can only save a level if you’ve managed to complete it! You don’t need all the gems, but you do need to get to the exit.

The level will be added as a simple line of ascii text, to the bottom of the JNKPlat/MyLevs.lev file on your card (assuming you’re using the DLDI version, and have added the JNKPlat folder to the root.)
Each line is it’s own level. Feel free to copy+paste these lines to build up your own little level packs.

Levels

• Over 100 levels of kick ass hardcore platform puzzling action.

Level Editor

• Make your own kick ass hardcore platform puzzling levels.
• Two Jump Buttons
• Jump one way!
• Jump back!

Graphics

• FOUR whole graphical styles!!
• Now it really will hurt your eyes a bit!

Beeps

• OMG! Your ears will explode from all the retro onion beeping!

Jayenkai notes at the end of his post that “unless there’s bugs, or anything really really good comes up”, this release will be good enough for now. It is a good release. Period. Do enjoy guys!
