Port of the Ballistica game engine to the Nintendo 3DS.
Ballistica is a brick-breaker/breakout-style game originally developed by Stephen Eddy for the IBM PC with VGA in 1994 (originally called Murderball). The 3DS version is based on the original DOS codebase, with enhancements and modifications to work on the 3DS hardware.
It makes use of both 3DS screens and the 3DS controls, and includes a built-in level editor allowing users to create and play their own custom levels.
