Portal in your pants! (Still Alive DS, Portal port)

June 2, 2008 by jef

Although certainly not with the same volume, i think we are starting to see homebrew games equal, and sometimes, surpass, commercially developed games on the DS. Here comes a Portal homage on the DS: Still Alive DS. For a version 1.0 game this is one fairly polished gem. The best part: user-created maps option. Yes! One of the failings of Portal was that it was too short (maybe that was a good thing) or that it didn’t offer the ability to download additional maps. Still Alive already has a few user-contributed maps on their website and i can only guess there will be tons more coming once people have played through all the maps in the standard game (it has only been out for two days). The author also offers a map editor written in JAVA so you can nerd-out with your map-making on a PC. Some of the controls are a little weird but overall this is a very fun pick up and play game … and it’s free!
