WiiPhysics 2.1.0: throwable objects, scrollable world, more

[RSS]

Wiibrew developer Beardface has released the latest version of WiiPhysics, a physics playground for the Wii. Basically it lets you doodle things on screen and the program subjects your doodles to the laws of physics.

This is one of the more interesting, not to mention fun, homebrew I've seen for the Wii. Anyway, you don't have to take my word for it, you can watch a video of the Wiibrew in action down below. Download link's right after that. First, here's what's new in this version:
