Blast Arena is an abstract/retro styled action game for the Game Boy Advance.

This was an entry for the GBAX 2005 Coding Competition.

User guide

The aim of Blast Arena Advance is to collect as many jittering squares as you can, while avoiding the shrapnel thrown out by the explosions. There's also a handful of hidden things to unlock.

Savegames are 100% compatible between the GBAX and updated version, just rename your .sav to match the name of the .gba you're using.
