Just passing by to say that the CD32 control mode doesn't work on my 060 A1200 with a KTRL CD32+ controller (the fire button stops working). Any chances for a fix?
Ha! I'd love to do a boxed version of Echodrome. The plan is to get an AGA version out which I am working on now using 8 bitplanes for the effects. After that I intend to make more levels + bosses and potentially add some new gameplay modes also.
Latest is version 0.11. The game has 9 levels and a boss fight and a lot of replayability. I plan to get back to development soon. An AGA version is on the cards and more levels.
Very arcardy and very Amiga with it bitplane and copper trickery.
I'm unfortunately having a small issue in dual joystick mode. In Game there's autofire without touching the button and in the Game Over screen "Press FIRE" isn't working. These are old joysticks with no autofire option so quite strange.
Thanks for letting me know. I plan to get back to development soon and I will test this issue. It could be the fire button only works for 1 of the joysticks. I will investigate.
Tried V0.10, two-stick control is working correctly in this version. So much joy with two ArcadeR side-by-side. Glad you plan to further develop this game! Inserted some more coins :)
edit: if you wait for too long in Game Over Screen, "Press FIRE" disappears and you can't start a new game anymore btw. Intended or not :)
Hey thanks so much for your tribute! To get 4 button pads working in MiSTer I think you need to tell it you want to emulate a CD32 Pad and then select 4 Button mode in the game Options. CharlieFAR on Twitch played it like this. I noticed you were collecting a lot of mines in your playthrough. A few people have asked me to make them easier to see. I will have a think. You have a new subscriber.
Very cool, arcade-style shooter with smooth gameplay, reminiscent of classic arcade machines. We also really liked the many extras and the TRON-like graphic style. Our German-language review can be found at 02:04:23. English subtitles are also available. Subscription to our YouTube and Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
Yes you need 2 Joysticks to get the real fun out of it. I'm using 2 monsterjoysticks and this is pure arcade fun feeling! I would be very happy when you continue to develop this game further on.
Runs well on my A500+ with 2MB Chip.
On my A4000 it is a little unstable. Sometimes running, but very rare. But my A4000 is equipped with 68060Rev6/BFG9060/ZZ9000. Problably you can improve it, to get this running / or having some tipps on my BigBox-A4000.
Thanks as always Saberman! Version 0.11 is out which improves the music (to the best of my ability) and has a jazzed up game over screen and hi-score entry screen with fireworks and it's own music.

Hey there!

Boxed Thalamus release when?

Congratulations on such a fantastic game. We'll be doing a full review along with a Game Jam round up in the next issue of ZZAP! Amiga.
Thankyou Retro-o! Will that be issue #28?
Is 1.1 the final version. Says `in development?`
Latest is version 0.11. The game has 9 levels and a boss fight and a lot of replayability. I plan to get back to development soon. An AGA version is on the cards and more levels.
This game is awesome!

Thank you for this, here is my tribute...

Please can you add correct screen initialization?
When launched from non basic low-res PAL (e.g. from WinUAE+P96) won't correctly open game screen.
(I know there are workarounds like using JST EXECUTE... etc. but a game code fix would be better ;))
That's one configuration I've not tried. I will look into it. Thanks.
I tried running the exe with WinUAE+P96 and it ran fine for me. Are you running ClassicWB_UAE?
Very very nice! ;)
Here is the new version on my A500 with projektor. This must be one of the best "amiga only" arcade games ever!
Thanks for making the video. Your Amiga setup is really cool.
Version 0.11 is out!

It runs well on my A1200 with PiStorm32CM4!
Thanks! And thankyou for the compatibility report. That is always helpful information.
Version 0.11 is out now which is a bug fix version which tries to improve compatability. (e.g. Memory allocation should be more OS friendly.)
Very nice :-)

Very good game. I added it to my video along with other games released in February.
Thanks for including my game in your compilation! :D
Longplay video of V0.10 as the game has quite a few additions since the V0.7 video.
Great game.Instabuy, Thanks!
Thankyou! Glad you like it :-D
Brilliant game ! I love it !
Thanks!
great job! it's the Amiga Geometry Wars... keep it up
Thanks! Geometry Wars was an inspiration but I've always been terrible at that game.
This is great to say the least! I watched on Amiga Bill yesterday night and today got the download.
I’ll be purchasing the final version once it’s completed. Good luck in the compo!!
Thanks man!
