Just a quick note to let you know that I've started posting the pages from the manual so that you can learn the game details even before it hits the shelves. Every day I'll post a new page on the Facebook, Twitter, Patreon, and itch.io pages of RETREAM - if you're curious, just head over there (they're all publicly accessible, even without account)

Here's a massive gameplay video that will let you see what you have read in the manual - and it shouldn't be too long until you can also experience it ;)

Don't think the game is crazy: you haven't played it yet to fully appreciate its madness ;)

Thank you! I really need this to succeed also business-wise as it's more than 2.5 years I'm unemployed...

Yesterday RGCD received the CDs, so now all that's missing to complete the deluxe package is the floppies - and that's already being taken care of ;)

After seen the video I reckon is probably one of the best CD32 games ever.

I have my CD32 waiting for it and is cool

Exciting times again on Amiga Land!!!

It looks like you added a post while I was answering the other two...

Now, let's not exaggerate
But for sure it's one of the most original ever (and not just for the Amiga)

From your signature I see you have other AGA machines, too: they'll be able to play the game just the same (it will look and feel 100% identical).

I guess if you like Xenon 2, Super Stardust, Banshee, Resogun and T-Zero type games then this will be right up your street.

I'm making something new for AGA already - check out the Dot-matrix engine for AGA.
No, I won't make OCS/ECS stuff.

You're welcome, and thanks a lot for your enthusiasm!

I sure hope it won't be underrated, but rather that what you say below will happen, instead

Actually SkillGrid is totally different from the (great) games you mentioned, so it's isn't a given that who likes shooter will like SkillGrid, or that who doesn't like shooters won't like SkillGrid.
BTW, what's Resogun?
