We are 11.000 short of an Amiga port and one week to go. I hope some of you can help spread the word so we can make this happen :)

Also, in case you havn't heard, an AROS port is also confirmed. All NG platforms are now supported :D

Yeah, it's awesome. Technically it's sub-par, though.


Really? It seems pretty easy to beat to me.


It's one of the few games I have actually completed. Whether that makes it easy or not I'm not sure. It's certainly a lot of fun. Graphics and audio are superb.

I got to the Engine itself at the end but I had no clue how to attempt to kill it! I didn't last long enough to learn its attack patterns etc! :-(

So not entirely sure.  I'm going to back it now.  Not that I have an Amiga that'll run it (unless it'll run in UAE, since I now have OS4 installed in FS-UAE and WinUAE).  But then it'll play in Linux and supporting Amiga, so I'll support it.


It won't run on WinUAE because the emulated hardware doesn't support compositing and Warp3D and the game engine willl use one or the other to display it's graphics.

P.S. I love Chaos Engine, but has anyone actually ever beaten it?  Game is a pain in the butt!


Quite a few times.  A good tip is to start in 2 player mode and get the other player killed as quickly as posible.  You won't be forced to ressurect him later so you can have all the powerups and money to yourself and you don't have any of the hindrances that the CPU player can cause.

You'll max out your players stats much more quickly and start acumulating large numbers of extra lives.  I was once award an extra life while the screen was fading out just after I destroyed the chaos engine.

5 days left & looking good!

btw, the developer has already said over at amigans.net that the Amiga port will happen even if the stretch gold isn't reached as he's an old time Amiga user and really wants to see the game on AmigaOS as much as we do:hammer:

This would be awesome, it looks like a traditional Amiga shooter!
I was jealous when the Android got a re-release of Alien Breed, but with the ability to aim and move in different directions. I'd love if every classic overhead shooter could be updated with this feature, especially Alien Breed 2.

That being said, what's better than an update? A whole new franchise with this control feature!
Will certainly be buying if this happens!

It won't unless more people donate. The digital copy of the game is 12€. It's not much but it will help this project and the NG platform. It would be really cool if we got a reputation that we're a generous bunch of people. That could lead to more games being made or ported. Not all projects deserves to become a reality of course, but some will and that is a lot better than zero.

If they look like they will reach the 45000 goal, you will be able to pledge through Paypal too. It's good to know for you who for one reason or another don't want to use Kickstarter.

According to this, an NG port will happen even if we don't reach 46000 euro:

We passed 40000 euro today. Less than 5000 to go!
