It's been a while since we've seen an update to 0xtob's Pocket Physics homebrew game for the Nintendo DS. Fortunately, we were able to catch the latest version of the game as the developer has recently released Pocket Physics v0.5.

This latest build adds a new moving tool for players to tinker their drawn creations with. Also, the developer has improved a couple of the game mechanics focused on the physics running the game.

Anyway, here's the newest set of changes for the game since our previous coverage of Pocket Physics:

v0.5

• Added the moving tool
• Improved speed (different timing, inactive objects fall asleep)
• Better repeatability
• sketches are now stored in /data/pocketphysics/sketches by default

• Saving and loading! (introducing the XML-based .pp file format)
• Smart pin placement: While the pen is on the screen, you can move the pin around. It's position is fixed when you lift the pin. While you drag the pin around, the objects that are about to be pined are highlighted.
• Smart deleting: Deleting also works just smart pin placement. Also, pins can now be deleted.
• Toggle viewing window visibility with select.
