In 2008, Eric introduced us to one of DS homebrew’s unlikely stars (or, at least, one of the homebrew games I remember best): Magnetic Shaving Derby, a game about using a horseshoe magnet to drag a razor blade across a crudely rendered face (with “two plump hot dogs pressed against each other” for lips).

Now, even more people will have the opportunity to behold the Derby. Developer Nyarla has submitted an iPhone version of Magnetic Shaving Derby to Apple, featuring both the original mode and a new three-minute “score attack,” demonstrated above. Somewhere along its development, this became something I actually want to play! The new chiptune soundtrack (downloadable here) certainly doesn’t hurt.
