Wormstation changelog

It is said that room for improvement is the largest room in the world. Perhaps that principle is what drove French homebrew developer JBskateur to release Wormstation v2.0 for the Playstation Portable.

For those of you who may not be familiar with Wormstation, it involves a two-player competitive game of worms blasting the living daylights out of each other inside a bathroom. Player 1 makes use of the D-pad and the left shoulder button. Player 2, on the other hand, utilizes the four buttons on the right of the Sony handheld and the right shoulder button.

Whereas Wormstation v1.1 featured more fluid controls, JBskateur has provided a small menu screen, and with it, the option of playing a one-player game against the computer. The object of the game remains the same in this new one-player mode.

If you're new to the Wormstation homebrew game and you'd like to give it a try, or if you've played the previous version before and you'd like to play JBskateur's newer version for the sake of comparison, feel free to download Wormstation v.2.0 via the download link below.

As before, kindly exercise caution when installing and running homebrew games and applications.

It's not exactly like Worms, but you're sure to encounter those pink skinned insects crawling around your PSP screen in the latest version of the homebrew game by JBskateur. Wormstation 1.1 sports better controls compared to its last iteration while featuring the same head-to-head worm blasting action.

The game still plays in a hotseat-like manner where the first player controls his character using the d-pad, while the second player uses the four buttons on the right side of the handheld. Each player uses their respective shoulder button closest to them to shoot at their opponent.

While the controls are more fluid this time, you still have to line up your character perfectly to get an actual hit on your opponent. Still, JBskateur seems pretty determined to improve this homebrew for players to enjoy.

Perhaps in the next version the developer will finally explain why these two insects are duking it out in the middle of the toilet.

It's always nice to see budding new homebrew programmers try their hand at coding simple games on the handheld platforms for gamers to while away the time with. JBskateur, a French homebrew developer for the PSP has released a brand new multi-player shooter titled Wormstation v1.

The game itself is a hotseat-type shooter where two player controlled worms fight it out inside... get this, a bathroom. Since wireless support isn't included in this version, the controls can be a little tight since the first and second player have to manipulate their little worms using the d-pad and the four buttons, while using their respective shoulder buttons to fire at the opponent.

This amusing little shooter is still in its birthing stages so you can expect a lot of small gameplay and programming issues to come up. JBskateur has already planned future releases which will include a proper opening menu for the game, a single-player mode and several maps to frag other worms in.
