Description

Stakker PSP is a fun game of building up and destroying towers made out of falling blocks. Build up your tower on the platform and don't let any piece fall off. If you reach high enough, destroy it with a projectile coming from the left and get points for each piece falling off the platform and bouncing against the screen borders.

Idol Edition Info

Everyone who downloaded the previous version should download the updated (link below)!

1. MP3 playback also from ms0:/PSP/MUSIC
2. Crash regarding the loading and listing of mp3 files (hopefully) fixed
3. In-Game platform is a bit higher now, loosing a level because of dropping a block too fast is less likely now (but still can happen)
4. Anti-Cheat implementation (play the game, don't take it apart :-P)

Awesome game it is.I've also realised that several stuff doesn't work on 1.50 kernel.This includes the pause menu during the game and the instructions menu.Once set to 3.xx,works perfectly.Good one Mk2k

[MK2k]

Thanks for your comments so far :)

Oh yes, the game should be run on CFW (non-1.50 Kernel).

Are u still working on this game or is it the final version? Would be good if the player could make the block fall faster by holding for example d-pad down like tetris. Get kind of boring waiting for them to fall down =)

[MK2k]

Advance to higher levels and they are falling faster.

Falling faster in this case means that the actual gravity is higher, so you don't even have them fall faster but also the whole physics behave differently. I'll have a look if it works out, if so I will put it in. And yes I'm currently making the game a bit more easy at the moment, there will defo be an updated release soon (maybe in a couple of minutes) stay tuned :)

LOL nice again! It's a really good game and with those sony menus.
