A week ago, PlayStation Portable homebrew developer theb1rdm4n released the Galaga-ish homebrew game, Birdman's Shooter. Well, we can say that the dev works fast. An updated version of the Birdman's Shooter has just been released, bumping up the numbers to version 1.2.

In case you missed the first release of the said game, here's a bit of a primer. Birdman's Shooter is based on the classic fixed space shooter, Galaga. Basically, you pilot one ship going against hordes of enemy ships. Anyway, for this release, theb1rdm4n did some tweaks and additions to Birdman's Shooter. Here's the changelog for version 1.2 from the readme file:

Enemies no longer get stuck to each other!
