Ever heard of an “Arcade-Style Puzzle Shooter“? This was the theme to the latest Nintendo DS homebrew game by developer preussie.

Entitled “Grafoon”, the game contains a lot of classic top-down shooter elements such as mines, walls with various behavior, laser barriers, nasty enemies, and more. You main objective is to collect all the Hobbels and bring them back to your home landing pad to advance to the next map.

The current build of Grafoon includes seven tutorial maps and three more challenging level maps. The developer promised to add more maps containing various enemies and items in future versions of the game. We can also expect other features like an actual gravity element, timed door and key objects and an active high score list to be included in later versions.
