Swiss group “and-or” have put together an innovative little homebrew game which taps the DS’s wi-fi capabilities. It captures WLan signals in your immediate area and transforms them into enemies in the game. Your objective is to grow and protect a crystal, which constantly comes under attack by the invading WLan signals. Things would get pretty interesting if you were playing this in a car, rapidly driving through an area with plenty of wi-fi hotspots.

It looks slightly more interesting than their other ambitious homebrew app, Sniff Jazzbox, and is well worth a download if you possess the appropriate hardware.
