2023 was a very active Amiga gaming year indeed - here are seven more titles that were started, or released, in mid-2023: adventures, arcade, puzzles, ...!
Skimming over recent Amiga games: In May 2023 alone, around ten new games popped up. Here are six of them, covering arcade action, fantasy adventure, and hacking in cyberspace.
Sky Shapers is a high-speed, vertical-scrolling Shoot 'Em Up by Norwegian indie studio Digilicious Nibbles, making their debut on the AGA Amiga. Developed in Blitz Basic and created entirely on classic Amiga hardware, the game runs at a smooth 50 FPS and features handcrafted graphics, three expansive levels, and intense boss battles.

Yoomp! is likely a well-known IP among retro gaming enthusiasts, though it was relatively new to me since I never followed the Atari scene closely. While Indie Retro News and others have covered it multiple times across various platforms, it never truly caught my attention—until talk of an Amiga version surfaced (go figure! :-p). The game has been out for a while now and continues to receive updates, which is fantastic. Even better, it now has a collector’s box for those of us who love having a physical edition to proudly display on our shelves.
Astronauts of the International Space Station can plug in an Amiga 600, 1200, or CD32 and play games on a beamer!
