XtreamLua/Gx-MOD Lua contest 2007 finalists (Game Pack 2)
A couple of days ago, the XtreamLua.com and Gx-MOD.com sites announced the finalists for their XtreamLua/Gx-MOD contest, which showcased several interesting homebrew applications and games for the PSP homebrew community to see, enjoy, and use.
Now, in case you’ve already picked up game pack #1, we’re letting you know about the release of the XtreamLua/Gx-MOD Lua contest 2007 finalist’s Game Pack #2, which features four more homebrews: Vortex Battle Arena Release 1, Elemental, and Morshock v0.1, and DestroyDust v0.5.
Vortex Battle Arena Release 1

This game will have two players competing at destroying the most balls of the same color a their own sprite. Players gain additional points for destroying balls matching their color, but will lose points if they destroy balls of the same color as their opponent.

- Player 1 (located on the left and having the red ball):
- D-Pad (up and down arrows): Move the gun
- Left trigger: To draw
- Player 2 (located on the right and having the green ball)
- Triangle and X: Move the gun
