Echodrome, the high-octane arena shooter from developer PixelPlop, has not only taken the first place crown in the AmiGameJam 2025 but as of this week there's a new build released as v0.11. Created over six months using C++, this "Return of the Arcade" entry has quickly become a standout for modern Amiga enthusiasts, earning a perfect 5.0 rating on itch.io. A game that has also gained feedback such as "This must be one of the best "amiga only" arcade game ever!" and "This game is awesome. Donated! :)"
Designed to run on classic Amiga OCS/ECS hardware with just 1MB of memory (512KB Chip/512KB Slow), Echodrome delivers a frantic, neon-soaked experience reminiscent of Geometry Wars and Smash TV. Players are thrust into a digital arena of "death and destruction," where the goal is simple: eliminate every wave of enemies to unlock the exit. Reviewers and players have praised the game's "TRON-like" aesthetic and smooth performance across a variety of setups, including the A500, A1200 with PiStorm, and MiSTer, highlighting its professional polish and addictive "one more run" gameplay.

ReplyDeleteWhat I love about this project is that Amiga care free spirit! Fun, silly, playable and creative 👍
ReplyDeleteIn case Pixelpop comes here (I don't have an Itch account) : version 0.11 on my A500 with KS1.3 1M chip and 2M fast the floppy boots, it says "Entering the echodrome" then crashes with no more video signal. On the same system with PiStorm it starts and works from HDD, but when booting from floppy it locks as soon as the AmigaDos shows on screen. Apart from that the game is great!
