About:
This game was made for AmiGameJam 2025 on itch.io:
https://itch.io/jam/amigamejam
The theme this year was:
"Return of the Arcade"
The game was developed over 6 months and written in C++.
Gameplay:
Welcome to The ECHODROME!
The ultimate digital arena of death and destruction!
Use the JOYSTICK to move around and FIRE to shoot your weapons.
Holding down FIRE will LOCK your direction and automatically shoot.
Kill all the enemy waves to exit each room.
Avoid enemy contact and don't step on the deadly arena MINES!
Locate and kill the arena BOSS to receive a BIG BONUS and progress to the next arena.
Choose your route wisely as some rooms are deadlier than others!
Keyboard:
CURSOR Keys to MOVE and Left-SHIFT to FIRE.
(Can be redefined in the Options menu but be aware Amiga Keyboards are fussy when too many keys are pressed.)
Twin Stick controls:
- 2 Joysticks
If you plug 2 joysticks in then 1 should move and the other shoots in 8 directions.
You must change the Input Style in the Options menu to:
Twin Stick (2 Joysticks Required)
- CD32 pad support
If your setup supports 4 button joysticks then you can use the buttons to shoot in 8 different directions a bit like a twin stick shooter.
You must change the Input Style in the Options menu to:
Four Button (CD32 Pad Experimental)
(NOTE: You will also need to set your Joystick to CD32 Pad in your UAE, MiSTer, or A500 Mini options.)

This game is awesome. Donated! :)
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.
It runs well on my A1200 with PiStorm32CM4!
Very nice :-)
Very good game. I added it to my video along with other games released in February.
Longplay video of V0.10 as the game has quite a few additions since the V0.7 video.
Great game.Instabuy, 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!
