Ask anyone that has played Battle Squadron on the Amiga, and they would tell you that not only was it one of the best shooters on the system, but it made great use of the Amiga's capabilities with power-ups, graphics and sound... As one person puts it "For 1989, this was something special". Well fast forward to today and as a surprising heads up by a good friend of ours, we've been told that Bitwise Brains has made available a nod to this awesome classic, called Battle Squadron 2!
While those that have seen Battle Squadron 2 have given feedback such as "very nice, the sounds are super satisfying" and "the music is fantastic at the beginning. It sounds like a movie soundtrack😎👍". Here's the latest from the team behind the game itself. "bitwise brains entry for AmiGameJam 2024. Pilot your ship through three stages of enemy waves and face the final boss. Loop back to beginning after defeating the boss and go for a high score".

very well made, super smooth, of course there are various things missing , bosses etc and variety but the guys that build this have potential to create another console quality game on ECS , still a lot to do but its smooth and addictive!
