Someone's been paying attention to their Compile titles, especially Spriggan! Looks great!

This looks really cool! I won't have time to check it out until later, but I'm definitely interested: How far along is it? Is there more info somewhere? I checked out the github link, but didn't see a story behind it, other than the basics.

Thanks! This is mostly a prototype at the moment; I used the same reusable libraries used by Dragon Blaster, enhanced the code a little to allow a greater variety of enemies, added a few extra paths the enemies could follow, chose a few free graphics that could be converted quickly (specifically, "Space War Man", available on OpenGameArt), made a short map using the new tileset and put everything together into something playable.

Exactly - what is your Twitter handle so this can be shared? PS: did you also want to include the SMSlib.lib file in your GitHub so people can build the project themselves? Thanks!

Hello, and thanks for your interest!

My Twitter handle would be

, though I rarely use it.

As per the libraries, I installed them directly on the SDCC folders, as per devkitSMS's installation instructions.
