Phew, it's done. 😃 After a year of hard work, my first Amiga game, KABOOMANIA - a classic retro bomber game with a brand-new soundtrack by Chris Huelsbeck - was released today for nearly every platform: kaboomania.com/outnow 🎉🎉
KABOOMANIA offers fast-paced pixel art fun for up to four players. Whether you want to tackle one of the thousand levels solo - or blow up your best (yet) friends with dynamite sticks in the arena - this brand-new game for all AGA, OCS, and CD32 systems has something for everyone. And if you’re still unsure, why not put your skills to the test in the free demo? 🧨
KABOOMANIA is available as a digital download and as a high-quality Amiga boxed edition. And as the icing on the cake, you can even purchase the fantastic soundtrack by Maestro Huelsbeck - on CD and as a digital download. By the way, this is Chris's first Amiga game with its own soundtrack in over 30 years!
So what's next? Of course, the next game for Amiga & Co.: split-screen fun with OPERATION BACKSTAB. 🕵️ By the way, it's one of the few games that will support multiplayer via a serial link cable. It would be great if you could also contribute to the Kickstarter campaign, which will launch at the end of the year, to make this projec happen: kickstarter.com/projects/fan…
Until then, I hope you have lots of fun with KABOOMANIA. Let’s blow it up! 💣💥
All the best,
Axel

The time has finally come! I’m thrilled to announce my next game for your Amiga (and modern systems): OPERATION BACKSTAB 😀
Two spies. One mission. Only one will make it out alive.
Berlin, the Cold War, the ’80s. Somewhere in a labyrinthine building, they lie - the top-secret documents! Two intelligence agencies want them, but only one can triumph. An agent from the East, an agent from the West, the same mission: Find the papers and get out. Whatever the cost!
With charming low-res pixel graphics, you’ll comb through a labyrinth of rooms, open cabinets, desks, and dressers - and ideally leave your opponent a little surprise along the way. Doors and furniture can be rigged with a whole arsenal of nasty traps. After all, nothing is more satisfying than watching your opponent walk right into your own bomb. But be careful: If you don’t remember where you placed your “surprises,” you’ll blow up faster than you’d like.
And what if the two agents happen to meet in the same room? Then it’s time for the submachine guns to do the talking!
Features:
- A fresh take on a classic gameplay concept
- Split-screen duel for two players - schadenfreude guaranteed, friendships optional
- Solo mode against the AI - a cunning computer agent with increasing difficulty
- An infinite number of procedurally generated levels - no two missions are alike
- Traps, tricks, and deceit - the one who plans smartly wins
- Local high score list - prove you’re the better agent
- Brand-new soundtrack by music legend Chris Huelsbeck - guaranteed retro sound at its finest!
Expected to be released in Q1 of next year. A Kickstarter campaign featuring a premium boxed edition is planned for later this year: kickstarter.com/.../fancyf..…

Chris released the studio version of the Kaboomania title track on his Patreon account today - free for all subscribers - and once again emphasized how happy he is to be composing for the Amiga again after decades away 🙂: patreon.com/c/chris_huelsbec…
There’s also a new - highly official - Huelsbeck CD planned featuring the game’s soundtrack. He’ll be composing studio versions of ALL the tracks specifically for this release. So there’s plenty in store for your ears. 😁

The time has come - the KABOOMANIA Kickstarter campaign has launched: kaboomania.com/kickstarter
If you’re also committed to helping the game cross the finish line in the best possible form, you now have 30 days to show your support with a small or large contribution. And for that, I’d like to thank you a thousand times over right now! 🙏🙂
In addition to the game for the platform of your choice, numerous great rewards await you. And of course, there will also be a high-quality Big Box Edition! With the game on floppy disk, CD, or USB stick. Furthermore, in collaboration with Chris Huelsbeck Productions, there will be a brand-new Chris Huelsbeck audio CD - the composer of the KABOOMANIA soundtrack! Or have you always wanted to wreak havoc as a monster in a video game? That opportunity will be available too! 👻
So it would be really great if you’d join us on board.
Still not sure if the game is for you? Then try out the demo right away and decide for yourself!
I’m sure you’ll like it. Or, to put it in Amiga Bill’s words: “…it’s rad!” 😁
I wish you a nice Sunday!
All the best,
Axel

Could I get some support from fellow devs and creatives? We got a negative review on Steam for AI use... despite there being absolutely *no* AI use in our game.
TL;DR? Give a chance to show that AI wasn't used, or you'll be harming the very same artists you claim to be helping.❤️
Since it was the most requested feature: The KABOOMANIA demo was released today for OCS systems (Amiga 500, 500 Plus, 600, and more)! 🙂
kaboomania.com/a500
But first of all - do you have an Itch.io account? If so, it would be great if you could vote for KABOOMANIA as part of the AmiGameJam event: itch.io/jam/amigamejam/rate/…
The Amiga 500 version is essentially the same as the AGA version, just with fewer colors. All you need is an A500 with 1MB of RAM to go on an explosive monster hunt. So let's get started: fancyfactory.itch.io/kabooma…

KABOOMANIA Kickstarter launches on March 29! The official trailer is here!
Yes, the Kickstarter campaign to get my passion project KABOOMANIA over the finish line starts on March 29 and runs for 30 days. You'll have the chance to get your hands on an extremely high-quality boxed edition - including the game on a classic floppy disk or CD. You'll also have the opportunity to add a new monster to the game based on YOUR specifications. Do you have an evil mother-in-law? This is YOUR chance to throw a few sticks of dynamite at her pixelated version! 😉
The purpose of the campaign is (the game is coming out anyway) to finance the remaining work on the 4-player multiplayer mode, to release the game for Steam, iPhone, and consoles, and hopefully to add a few more Chris Huelsbeck tracks.
So, what do you say, are you in? I would be thrilled! 😃 Get on the waiting list today: kickstarter.com/projects/fan…
Oh, and please don't forget to vote for KABOOMANIA in the AmigaJam 2025 competition: itch.io/jam/amigamejam/rate/…
That would be great. Thank you very much! 🙂
And last but not least - just a side note - the game will also be released for the Amiga 500. How cool is that? 😆 The demo will be available in a few days!
Have a great weekend,
Best regards, Axel
