KillerMan - Ghost Buster 3DS

KillerMan - Ghost Buster is a 3DS homebrew action game, based on the Mega Man Battle Network series style of gameplay.

Installation

Available as a 3DSX/SMDH.

Copy the folder containing .3dsx and .smdh to the 3ds folder on your SD card, then run via homebrew loader.

User guide

You play as KillerMan from MegaMan Battle Network 6 and fight off waves of ghosts and viruses to try to get a high score.

The game features stages where you fight sets of viruses and an endless mode where you test how long you can last against an endless wave of ghosts and viruses.

Stages

Each stage has a ghost busting stage and a virus busting stage.

During the ghost busting stage, ghosts randomly spawn in large groups until you clear the required amount of ghosts. The kill goal is indicated in the bottom screen.

After clearing the ghost busting stage viruses begin to spawn, in addition to smaller groups of ghosts. Viruses are much tougher than ghosts and require more hits destroy.

Items and Enemies

BattleChips:

• Randomly spawn throughout the battle.
• Collecting these will grant more powerful attacks that can clear waves of ghosts faster or take down viruses faster.
• Each chip only grants a one time use of the attack.

Bugfrags:

• Randomly spawn throughout the battle.

Shadow Enemies:

• Some enemies, such as Ghost3, are shadow enemies.
