GBA Homebrew Game Contenders Released

Posted by simoniker on from the long-live-the-homebrew-scene dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The entries to GBADev.org's yearly Gameboy Advance development competition have been released - it's always nice to see what the amateur GBA developers can churn out. Over $1100 in cash and about the same amount in other prizes are up for grabs!" There's some pictures from the 24 games and 5 demos available (scroll down), and highlights include hex-based puzzle game, Matrix Advance, the 2D top-down racer, Critical Velocity, and 9Wires' great-looking isometric 3D adventure, Space Twins.

    The site says $108.16, not $1100.

      The competition part of the site is kinda scarce on info, but I think the public-donated prize is 100-plus dollars, and there's official prizes of a lot more - I found the following information in the July archives to back up the submitter:

      "And as you probably know, we have 1000$usd in cash prizes as well. How this will be divided is not yet clear."
