A Gameboy Advanced Game.

SpaceRocks brings forth the arcade experience of Side scrolling Shooter games similar to Gradius and R-Type.

SpaceRocks is programmed in C using devkitPro and libtonc Library.

This Demo was a highly marked project for the first year of my Games programming degree in Game Hardware Architecture.
