TroNDS v0.1: Nibbles and Tron

Yes, Snake for mobile phones definitely occupied our idle moments while on the go back in the old days. It was the simplest pleasure: feed snake, let it grow, don’t let it bump to walls or its tail, etc. etc. Those were indeed the days, and homebrew developer Montspy just ported that joy to the Nintendo DS.

If you ever owned any of the older Nokia handsets, then homebrew developer Montspy‘s ‘brewed goodness will no doubt make you smile in delight. TroNDS contains two games: Nibbles and Tron.

Nibbles plays the same as the mobile phone game, Snake. If you’re not yet acquainted with the game ever-present in many handsets, let’s get cracking: it’s a simple mini-game where you direct a continuously moving snake to bits of food. Every time the snake eats, the longer it gets, and you have to make sure that the snake won’t run into anything such as walls or its own tail.

Want to take a shot at this game? Better check out the controls list, as translated from French by our weblator:

How to play:

Choose your game from the menu by “eating” the apple of color corresponding to the desired game.

• Nibbles: Go with the Pad or A, B, X, Y in order to eat more apples (yellow squares).

• Tron: Go with the Pad or A, B, X, Y in order to accumulate as many points as possible (1 point is equivalent to a “not” in front) without your snake would be smaller up more than a head.

You can download the game from the link below. If you’re having any trouble trying to make the game work, you may need to run the file through a DLDI patch. Enjoy!
