Homebrew developer, jdoucet, was most likely inspired by the Taito classic-- Bubble Bobble and has ported a homebrew game for the Nintendo DS dubbed as the FP-r4, which has an uncanny resemblance to the Bubble Bobble series. If that's not the case, maybe he just have an unexplainable fascination with bubbles or round thingamajigs such as...balls or something.

Anyway, going back to the focus of this article, the good developer just released the FP-r4 which is quite an engaging game if you have some idle time in your hands. Here are some of the games features.

* There is a helpWithDotBall feature when you lose (see the screenshot)
* It is now possible to edit level files and re-include them in the game without a need for a complete devkitARM toolchain.
* You can include new background and mod files for each level very easily.
* The new version has been compiled with the latest devkitARM 19a

jdoucet plans on adding a WiFi multiplayer game capability to his homebrew game, in the coming versions. He is also releasing the source code that he has cleaned a lot according to him. So if you wanna help him with the unenviable task of adding multiplayer gaming through WiFi, then you can do so. And as always, your constructive criticisms, suggestions, opinions and other thoughts could greatly help the developer in his effort to perfect the game. So don't hesitate to tell them to us through your comments.
