反之，假若讓客人等太久，客人會生氣而離開。
●掌握客人的「個性」，思考處理的順序！
陸續登場的客人們，都有著一些「個性」。
例如，「老奶奶」會慢慢走到她的位置，然後再慢慢思考她要點什麼。
「物理學者」常常在那邊唸唸自語，所以都聽不太懂他在說什麼。
「美食評論家」是很有名的人，所以讓他生氣的話，所有的客人都會跟著他走掉的。
「臭大叔」只要一到位置，就會影響到其它客人的情緒，
必須趕快幫他處理料理，才不會讓他影響到其它客人太久。
為了讓所有的客人都能拿到料理，除了要手動得夠快以外，
還要再加上冷靜的思考才行喔！
●邦妮與客人的可愛四格漫畫
闖過幾個關卡之後，就可以看到邦妮與客人之間的可愛四格漫畫。
四格漫畫除了是全新原創故事以外，還配上了日文語音，
趕快玩過所有的關卡，收集全部的漫畫吧！

Mini Fortress Review has given Wakedas an 8.5 out of 10!
Wakedas is a challenging, but fun puzzle game that I believe fans of puzzle games will enjoy. The amount of time you put into the game is dependent upon how long it takes you to solve each individual puzzle. In my experience, most puzzles took me around a minute to solve, but there are plenty that take much longer. For just $2.99 on the Nintendo 3DS eShop, it's hard to ignore the value that Wakedas gives to gamers.
23-AUG-2013

●讓勇者保護魔女！讓魔女復活加入戰局！
由於魔女被變成石頭了，所以基本上是無法行動的。玩家必須操縱勇者，來擊退不斷出現的怪物。

怪物被打倒之後，會掉下「怪物之血」。勇者將這些「血」撿給魔女之後，魔女將會復活一小段時間，在這段時間，魔女會自動放出魔法，協助勇者打怪。
各關卡在進行一段時間之後，就會出現「魔王怪物」，將這個「魔王怪物」打倒，就闖關成功。反之，若魔女的ＨＰ變成０，就闖關失敗。
●用「聖劍之力」一擊逆轉！
當「聖劍量表」滿值的時候，玩家可發動「聖劍之力」。發動之後，勇者將在一段時間內變成無敵狀態，且魔女會自動放出強力版本的魔法。
當怪物已經逼到眼前，無路可逃時，可使用「聖劍之力」將狀況一擊逆轉。

The Complications Of Publishing Your Game On The Nintendo eShop In Japan
I understand a lot of Western publishers feel the rule is unfair, but Japan is a special market, so I understand why Nintendo would want to control the quality of content and require a local publisher to handle publishing duties. One of the important reasons for this is for support issues following a game's release. Japanese players e-mail publishers for support or make phone call inquiries, so you need a native Japanese speaker to answer their questions. You can't really expect Japanese players to speak to you in English, so a local company is a necessity...

Color Commando is a new and very cool puzzle platform game.
In this game you get to hunt for treasure! However, many evil color monsters are blocking your path! Pick up color blobs and try to outsmart the monsters!
In each level, color monsters will block your path and try to grab you! So what can you do against this?
Collect paint blobs that are spread out over the level. You can use a paint blob to paint a big paint-spot on the world. If a monster of the same color comes into contact with the paint-spot, the monster will dissolve into the spot. When this happens the monster cannot harm the player!
The game starts out easy enough, but before you know it you are surrounded by many different types of color monsters in all different colors!
There are 5 worlds, with each 4 normal levels and 1 star level. You can unlock the star level by getting all the treasure in the other 4 levels!

Witch & Hero is an 8-bit style action game. You play as a hero accompanied by a witch taking on the evil Medusa, whom has destroyed many villages and towns with the monsters that stand before her.

The witch's destructive magic easily destroys monsters, but you will have to rely on the hero's will power primarily. He is able to try and try again, but the witch cannot, thus the hero must protect her.

[Interview update!] [wiiloveit.com]
While most (developers and gamers alike) have moved on from the more obscure takes DSiWare offers, one team has demonstrated active commitment to the cause.
In the time they've developed for this platform, not one, but multiple series of games have come to the fore, including Castle Conqueror, Come On!, and The Lost Town.

CIRCLE Entertainment: The Indie Nintendo Supporter You've Never Heard Of
You've probably never heard of Circle Entertainment. They're a small videogame developer based in Hong Kong, and their focus is on developing games for Nintendo DSiWare and the Nintendo eShop. So far, they've published over 20 games across the two services, with more on their way in the future. One of these is a Nintendo 3DS version of Ronimo Games' Swords & Soldiers.
A developer with such a heavy focus on DSiWare isn’t something you see everyday, given the limitations of the Nintendo DSi’s online functionality. Out of curiosity, we caught up with Circle Entertainment CEO, Chris Chau, to find out how the company is run, what makes them tick, how successful they’ve been on DSiWare, and their future plans...
