Ascii Attackers from Hell is a homebrew game that may look simple on the outside, but has mechanics which can keep you on your toes. When you miss enemies in this shoot-em-up, they can lay mines and make life a lot harder. There are also three levels littered with the invaders that you'll have to live through.

Jabbyjim has released his very first game for the PSP, and it's definitely got a cool name. It's called Ascii Attackers from Hell and its premise is simple: take down 60 enemies before you run out of lives.

Of course, it isn't as simple as the premise might lead you to believe. According to jabbyjim, "if you miss one of them (the attackers), it lays down a mine that chases you and if your lucky you can avoid it for awhile, but it will kill you." That, and there happen to be three levels as well.

Jabbyjim notes that this is meant for Firmware 1.5 setups, though since it's coded in Lua, there's a good chance that it will work on other firmware types if you're willing to try it out. That being said, we only have one question to ask jabbyjim: if the attackers are from hell, why are they coming from the top of the screen?
