Tried with the mister Fpga, using the Amiga Vision system, it turns well but set the system to PAL and the Amiga OS screen in pal, otherwise the images are broken. During the game play I don’t hear a soundtrack, it seems strange that there is no soundtrack, while shooting at the enemies.
With thanks to the Digilicious Nibbles team for accepting our offer of collaboration and giving us credits here on itch.io, here are some pictures of how our WHDload version of Sky Shapers looks like on AmigaOS (HiRes/LoRes):
Only Amiga Vault makes it possible! ^_^
PS: Don't forget to purchase the game, it really deserves!!! ;)
Great game indeed, we will definitely purchase it because it is really worth it: congratulations! :)
Our Amiga Vault team is specialized in creating/converting Amiga games and programs in standard WHDLoad format with specific slave, custom splash screen, hybrid icon (OldIcon+NewIcon+ColorIcon) compatible with all AmigaOS, and also a readme file included.
As we have done with some Amiga games released in recent months (Ami-H.E.R.O, Ami Robbo 2, Frank Brush, Ghosts 'n Goblins AGA, Hop To The Top, International Kopycat Plus, Kondi Krush, Metro Siege, Neon World, Pjusk, Soko-Ban, Spheroid, Trapped In The Tomb and Yoomp!) and as we will do for some games currently in development as soon as they are ready (Hyper Wings 2.21 HD, Soltys and Street Fighter), we'd love to convert your game to WHDLoad format and share it with you so that if you wish, you can include it as an add-on version for the benefit of Amiga users who purchase this amazing game.
The advantages of having WHDLoad version as a download option would be numerous: portability of the game to any AmigaOS with WHDLoad installed without need to install it, compatibility with native firmware on 500 Mini without need to rely on third-party setups such as AGS, Aminimiga and Pandory, full compatibility with Hyperspin, CoinOps, LaunchBox, Batocera and frontends that natively support the WHDLoad format (practically all).
Obviously, this is implied but anyway we would like to clarify it, since it is a commercial game if you accept our offer of collaboration we will provide our WHDload version ONLY and EXCLUSIVELY to you who are the developer, and if someone else wants it they should still purchase your game because the only available download of our WHDLoad would be only on your official page of the game on itch.io: What do you think about our proposal? It would be an honor and a pleasure for us to collaborate with you, if you like our idea you can contact us on facebook (Amiga Vault user) or by email if you prefer (amigavault.contribution@gmail.com) in order to define all the details.
Very nice shooter with cool parallax scrolling. The graphics could perhaps be a bit more modern. Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 01:37:12. English subtitles are also available. Subscription to our YouTube and Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
Nice! Thank you for doing a review and for nice comment. We really appreciate that! We wanted to make a shooter with classic 90’s vibe and graphical environment.
Thank you for the report, and for supporting Sky Shapers!! Great news that the game runs on A500 mini with custom firmware! I love the setup you got there :)
Hi. Thank you for posting. We are new to this platform. The intension was a price at 3.99 with the possibility to pay less. Technically itch seems to turn this upside down. Everyone must feel free to pay what they think it is worth:-) We are happy either way:-)
Hi, there is no CD32 version because of the FAST RAM requirements. However, if you have a expansion like the SX series or the TerribleFire 330 the game should in theory work from a hard drive.
hi, thanks for downloading. Maybe you have a large number of buffers on the hard drive partitions? what do you get when you boot with no startup-sequence and run "avail chip" and how many partitions do you have? you can try to reduce buffes on you partitions with "addbuffers dh0: -999" and repeat on all partitions, or disable the partitions not in use in the early startup menu. You have to run the addbuffers command for every reboot as it is not persistent.

Thank you so much for this great new shmup <3
Hope you're getting satisfying sales and feedback !
Thank you so much!! :-) So happy you liked our game! <3

Nice game!
Thank you for nice review:-)

Nice! Thank you for doing a review and for nice comment. We really appreciate that! We wanted to make a shooter with classic 90’s vibe and graphical environment.
I can verify compatibility with the A500 Mini using AGS 2.7 as well for all you Mini owners out there! Game is great fun
Thank you for the report, and for supporting Sky Shapers!! Great news that the game runs on A500 mini with custom firmware! I love the setup you got there :)
Also made sure it worked on the MiSTer FPGA. You got yourselves a great SHMUP here and I love it!
Thanks for sharing , bought it now since you confirmed it working on th A500mini. I will revert for advice if I run into problems.
SWEET! Glad I could help!
Hi bought the game since you shared that i works on the A500mini. Can you explain how ?
I couldnt get it working. I have AGS 2.7
Hi.
This is the instruction I got from CoffeeCupArcade.
What you will need - A500 Mini, AGS 2.7 installed onto a USB card, LHA version of game.
Step 1 - Install AGS 2.7
Step 2 - Unzip the .LHA version of the game and take that extracted folder and place it in the AGS 2.7 "Shared" folder.
Step 3 - boot up AGS 2.7 and hit escape on the keyboard to drop into Workbench.
Step 4 - open up the "Shared" folder and launch the game per normal.
Hope this helps!
HI , I understand and will give it a Go Thanks.
Thanks , It works a Good game.
Nice game,
but this questionable practice to get more money will be reported in my review. Kind regards,
Hi. Thank you for posting. We are new to this platform. The intension was a price at 3.99 with the possibility to pay less. Technically itch seems to turn this upside down. Everyone must feel free to pay what they think it is worth:-) We are happy either way:-)
We have added an explanation for our pricing on the shop page to clarify the intention on the pricing.
Nice thing but why no CD32 version? Then you could have included music from CD.
Hi, there is no CD32 version because of the FAST RAM requirements. However, if you have a expansion like the SX series or the TerribleFire 330 the game should in theory work from a hard drive.
I really like the graphics, got that oldschool Amiga feel to it
Thank you for downloading and thanks for nice comment:-)
I could not start this game due to lack of space on my chip ram even if I select "Boot without startup sequence" from early staryup.
Do you have any ideas?
With the accelerator card, it is likely that the chip ram may be just a little bit short.
hi, thanks for downloading. Maybe you have a large number of buffers on the hard drive partitions? what do you get when you boot with no startup-sequence and run "avail chip" and how many partitions do you have? you can try to reduce buffes on you partitions with "addbuffers dh0: -999" and repeat on all partitions, or disable the partitions not in use in the early startup menu.

Thank you for replying.
I see. I will try.
