As dark omens spread across the land, demons stir in the depths, preparing to invade the world of men. While kingdoms remain unaware, one wizard senses the coming doom.

Rather than wait for the end, he descends into the demons dungeon, a place of ancient spells and hidden dangers. There, alone against the abyss, he will face the demons at their source... before the world above is lost forever.

Im not sure, why it's not running here. Im also honest here, i never handled a A1200 (even in an emulator). The error im running into is: "Please insert volume "ENV" in an drive". Anyone know, what im missing here? Thanks :-).

if you click Cancel, normally it should just go ahead. I think you are using AROS, I am not sure if it will work, only tested with commodore Kickstarts

You're right! It can be so easy, lol ;-).

I've tried first, to run it on AmiBerry, sadly i couldn't figure out the proper/a working configuration for the A1200, so i tried RetroArch, which uses AROS.


Thanks alot!

Fantastic! Even more fluid, tested with FPGA mister with fast ram and Amiga 1200 68020 chip, it runs very well.

Good to know it works well on mister, thanks for playing it!

I confirm that if you use the ADF file on Mr. FPGA, it turns better than the .l file "installed" on the Amiga OS 3.1 operating system 

Very nice game compliments

Good game with great music. I added it to my video along with other games released in February.

Thanks a lot for including the game

Interesting game, but it could still use some improvements in terms of sound and the (very slow) game speed. Our German-language preview can be found at 02:18:19. English subtitles are also available. Subscription to our YouTube and Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂

Thanks playing the game and for the feedback. Speed need to be refined for sure, after checking your video, the speed is slow because you let a lot of tiles to reach the bottom of the screen and a demon enemy skull is spawned because of that. This means a health loss and slower speed to recover from the hit. I see many people is not getting it, the game must be clearer on that.

crab boss blew me away
