Resonate is a fast paced undersea rail shooter released by Hardhat.

This was one of the contest entries for the PSP-Hacks Homebrew Idol in 2008.

Features

  • 5 hero forms: Zooplankton, Sea Urchin, Seahorse, Stingray, Thresher Shark.
  • High score tracking for each game.
  • Enemies in various attack formations.
  • 3 types of power ups.
  • Level editor for Windows, Linux or MacOS based on fltk and OpenGL.

Installation

On Custom Firmwares 3.xx (such as m33 or OE firmwares), copy the resonate folder into ms0:/PSP/GAME/. The src folder is only needed to modify the game.

User guide

Your goal is to evolve into a thresher shark and become king of the ocean.

  • On normal difficulty, you start as a Sea Urchin (Level 2).
  • Hit the blue striped targets to collect evolution up.
  • Collect eight and move up a level to Sea Horse (Level 3).
  • Miss a target that collides with you and move down to Zooplankton (Level 1).

If you're hit too many times, the adventure ends and you need to try again.
