Natura No Story, “work in progress” gameplay clip.

Though programmer Morukutsu hasn’t yet released a playable demo for this homebrew platformer — and I assume the game is still early in development — its art direction is worth posting about! It’s like layers of construction paper.

Two other interesting and recent DS homebrew projects:

Chocobo Joust from DStopian:

“It’s my first PAlib project, so I tried to keep it small and simple. Basically, it’s Joust (the old arcade game with the knights and flying ostriches/vultures) but with a bit of a final fantasy theme.”

Maketens from Bob Fossil:

“Mankind’s oldest enemy, the decimal numbers 1 to 5, have launched another audacious attack, and it’s up to you to stop them.

They have one weakness — they self destruct when they are combined to make the number ten. Select numbers with the stylus and make tens to save the world.”

The latter game looks like a clone of Skip’s Art Style: Decode or Nintendo’s Make 10: A Journey of Numbers, and is from the same developer behind WordWrap.
