I never liked CGA I would prefer black and white or greyscale (preferably) as the colour scheme is all over the place. But this game is hardly a poster child for colour graphics for the Amiga anyway, although the game is good (I like me some Sokoban) Where I really dislike it is when those PC CGA adventure games came to the Amiga, and despite have far more colours available for display and a much better palette, with zero effort they just threw it on the Amiga.

@@daishi5571 I totally agree with you. Everyone on the Amiga loves Loom, but I can't get over the EGA graphics when I know how gorgeous the FMtowns version is. Same with Zak McKracken, but I don't mind it so much there because of the styling.

I take it you mean parallax.

The visible circle looks like a parallaxing layer but in fact it is probably made with two single plane blitter objects (one for each playfield) both moving together with the player sprite and the palette must have all zeros for the colors set by those planes. A very smart Amiga trick.

@@daishi5571 To have 3 "parallaxes"? The Amiga hardware reference manual refers them as playfields & backgrounds, should it matter.

@@alpyre Good use of bitplanes, judging by how colorful the main playfield is I assumed that they used a sort of 4+2 bitplane setup, leaving none for such effects.

can you be a bit more specific?

@@gabrieleamore3081969 It just doesn't look polished enough.

It's MSX 2 for sure. Brown color is missing on MSX 1 palette

I don't know why this happened. I just started a new game and there was no music.

@@Saberman oh dear...

Is this an early preview? It really looks like it needs work still. But what is there ain't too bad.

@@tarstarkusz please be more specific. Criticism is good if it helps improving things.

@@drones9273 Real hardware.

@@Saberman Just bought there is not much stock already sold out.

Not free. I bought the digital version.

@@Saberman I retreat my words. My apologies Saberman.

​@@madcommodore The music is from Turrican 2, it's in the final level.

its the 6502 code direct, pokey direct, and graphics calls are pointed to routines to the ataris graphics chip. Fantastic.

Hi...No, but, they look alike because it was my main inspiration, specially the enemy mecha with the giant shield... I liked the design so much that I decided to redo it... mine is actually a few pixels taler and more robust. The player mecha is completey original, in spite that, innitialy I started trying to make something like the player mecha in Cybernator. There are other enemies I still don't have in the game that "ressembles" the ones from Gunhazard, but were all redone I'm actually using RetroAnimator to make all the animations and it's not based on sprites, instead, you can animate each part of your character, head, arms, legs, torso, etc... Separately and save a lot of memory.

@@impactsuit9871 I asked because I wasn't sure, but your response cleared up my doubts. Please keep up the excellent work; it looks amazing (and the "tribute" to Gunhazard makes it even more special). Thank you for your hard work.

@@impactsuit9871 Will the game be more action-focused like Metal Warriors or Ranger X, or will it feature RPG/upgrade elements like Gunhazard or Nightslave? I'm just asking out of curiosity, so please don't feel obligated to answer.

@@eduardobarbosa7460 I'm doing the entire thing myself for now, using the Scorpion Engine and I started learning it less than two months ago, on top of that, I'm not exactly a coder... I'd really like to make it more RPG like, but due to the restrictions I'll be really happy if I end up witha decent shooter Right now I'm strugling to make the Mech point the gun, strafe while firing and raise its shield... Actually, I still have no idea on how to check if a button was pressed or released in Scorpion, what I accomplish so far was a miracle.

@@impactsuit9871 I work good on three channel or even two

You mean better than the Shadow of the beast series, the Turrican Series, Risky Woods, Wolfchild, Jim Power, James Pond, Flimbo's Quest, First Samurai, Premiere, Fire and Ice, Mr. Nutz, Gods, Chuck Rock, BC Kid, Lionheart, Leander, Toki, Zool, Liquid Kids, etc.

@julienbraudel7109 Obviously not. You've just picked all the best examples. But there's so much more, especially arcade ports, that were not up to par. I wouldn't personally put zool on that list either. Im an Amiga fanboy, but i will always admit where its strengths and weaknesses lie, and when developers lazily ported over an ST game.

There are so many more great Amiga platformers than those i have listed, and anyway, there is enough great platformers on Amiga to make your argument weak or irrelevant (and Zool is a platformer). You can't tell "the majoritiy" when you would have easily more than 100 games that are better than this one. Even your argument on the arcade conversion is weak : Toki, Liquid Kids, Rainbow Islands, Rod Land, Tiny Bobble, Snow Bros., Wonderboy in Monsterland.. I think you got carried away a bit.
