Saving Santa

Saving Santa is a fast-paced minigame on DS, where you must protect Santa on his journey around the globe during the Christmas Night.

The homebrew was released for the Drunken Coders Winter 2007 Coding Compo.

Installation

Download and extract file.

Put the data directory in the root folder of the homebrew card.

DLDI patch the .nds file if needed (if your card does not have auto-patching) and copy it to the root directory of the card.

The dangers Santa faces are huge, monstrous snowflakes falling from the sky. Protect him by using your trusty magical bubble cannon.

Draw circles around the falling monster snowflakes with the stylus.

Drawing circles costs mana. Player gaina mana by successfully trapping monsters.

Each time a monster snowflake hits the shield around Santa, you lose Health Points (hp). When HP reaches zero, the game is over.
