This years theme is “Return of the Arcade.” The challenge is to make an Amiga game that could sit in a classic arcade cabinet. Think fast, exciting gameplay that grabs players from the first moment. Easy to pick up, tricky to master, and always leaving players wanting to come back and insert another credit. Arcade games are all about instant fun, fast-paced action, and the thrill of skillful play. They usually focus on short, exciting sessions with clear goals: scoring points, defeating waves of enemies, completing levels, or racing against the clock. (Source: AmiGameJam2025)

The game is complete and ready to play! That said, because development time was limited, some details and improvements will be added in an upcoming version.

We started working on this game in July 2025.
The game is made with Blitz Basic 2.1 and Deluxe Paint V on original A4000 (030) Amigas.

All graphics are hand pixeled and no AI was used.

The story:

The year is 2078. Earth is lost. A spider invasion has rendered our planet uninhabitable. These monstrous creatures, breeding unchecked across the solar system. For decades, whispers circulated of a colossal spider, Goliath, intent on claiming Earth as it’s nest. Now, it’s reality. The spiders grow stronger. Humanity’s end is near. You are our last hope. A lone warrior chosen to embark on a desperate mission into the black void. Your task: to confront the gargantuan Goliath, slay the beast, and save what remains of the human race. The fate of humanity rests on your shoulders. Good luck. You’ll need it.

Review:

What makes Creepy Crawlers Goliath:Reloaded stand out is its pure arcade philosophy. It’s easy to pick up, instantly readable, and brutally addictive. You’ll lose a life, blame the spiders, insist the hit detection was unfair, and then immediately press restart for “just one more go.” That’s the magic of classic arcade design, and this title captures it perfectly. Fast, frantic, and filled with more legs than a furniture warehouse, Creepy Crawlers Goliath:Reloaded is a love letter to old-school arcade shooters with a delightfully creepy edge. Whether you’re a long-time Amiga enthusiast or just someone who enjoys turning oversized insects into pixel dust, this is one infestation you’ll actually want to experience.
