I've done "flat" isometric engines before, and it's just a case of using a 2-dimensional array to represent each tile and then do some clever stuff to display it as diamonds on the screen. From what I can tell GBA is a bit limited in graphics memory but there won't be that many different textures to a level so I can work that problem out.
The difference with momentum is that it has slopes and walls and I have no idea how to store or draw that... Cheers for the links, I will go and explore them to see what I can find, but if anyone can help me out in a bit more detail I'd be eternally grateful...
