Retro Sumus has taken to Kickstarter in hopes of funding Xenocider, an on-rails 3D shooter which takes inspiration from the likes of Galaxy Force and Sin & Punishment. If successful, the project will be made for a number of platforms such as 3DS.

Xenocider needs $92,000 to reach its goal. With four weeks remaining, a little over $16,000 has been raised thus far. A Wii U stretch goal also awaits at $170,000.

Take a look at Xenocider’s pitch video below. You can visit the Kickstarter page here.

Today’s update on Battle of Elemental REBOOST covers rival characters and Survival Mode.

Regarding the new characters, four of them are the alter egos of the game’s previously announced playable characters. The lineup includes Sils (Celcius’ alter ego), Renzasilt (Fahrenheit’s alter ego), Mal (Mole’s alter ego), and Io (Biot’s alter ego). We’re yet to see the fifth, though it seems to unlock after meeting certain requirements.

We also have the first word on the new Survival Mode. Players win through fights as their favorite character to achieve a high score. The mode features a “Record” screen to view wins and losses, along with key configuration to change the controls to your liking.

Number of purchases: ~162,000
Average purchase: $9.74
Top three contributors: Anonymous ($300), 13AM Games ($251), Nintendo’s Damon Baker ($250)

The homebrew community has found that Citizens of Earth has a homebrew vulnerability on 3DS.

Something similar happened just recently. It was discovered that a homebrew exploit exists within VVVVVV, prompting its removal from the 3DS eShop. Citizens of Earth may end up with a similar fate.
