Hi everyone,
A new game for the Amiga has been released. It is called Sqrxz and it’s a jump and run platformer. It took part in the Demodays 2012 interactive competition and I believe it received a positive response. 🙂
Sqrxz was ported by Frank “Phx” Wille in co-operation with the Retroguru, a development team.
The requirements are not high, as you’ll only need an Amiga with Kickstart 1.2 (or higher) and 512 KB of RAM to run it.
Without further ado, here’s a video of it running on an Amiga 500. Please pay attention to the joyful chip-music.. excellent listening!
What do you think about the game? Are you going to try it? People who are interested should head over to the official website for more information. 🙂

That looks like fun. I wish they would make more side-scrolling games.

Oh yes, an epic game to say the least. Loved all the mini games and the cart-racing inside the mountains.

Hey that’s looking pretty good, shall have to try it out. I know the Amiga has always had a huge demo and music scene but what about new game releases?

Hi mate,
Thanks for commenting. 🙂
That’s true and now there is stuff happening on the game front as well. We’ve got the 1980’s Football manager coming up as well.. that is one title I’m really looking forward to.

Sorry for an off-topic, but I’ve just read that Studio Liverpool formerly… mighty Psygnosis, has been recently shut down. Good memories, huh? Let me share couple of links:

Hi mate,
No need to apologize. 😉 Thanks for the links! It’s a shame that Psygnosis has been shut down, but they will always live on in our hearts. They made some of the best games ever.
