Wings of Fear - A top scrolling World War 1 Shoot 'em up from Roar Tjørhom is coming to the Amiga [DEMO UPDATE]


There's nothing more satisfying than playing top down scrolling shoot 'em ups, games I remember fondly stand out such as the fantastic classic Tyrian 2000, or the many list of Arcade titles running through home emulation or a well designed cabinet. Well thanks to a heads up from the developer, we've been told at some point soon, Roar Tjørhom will be releasing a demo of his little shoot 'em up game for the Commodore Amiga called "Wings of Fear". An upcoming game you can see in this latest footage below.


UPDATE : Great news! If you're looking to play the latest demo mentioned above, then we have just been informed, that the demo is now live! Here's the full details: "This is the first playable demo of my Amiga game called Wings of Fear. Hopefully there will be a complete game in the "near" future. Time and responses will tell! Its important to remember that the game is still in Alpha stage. I would however love constructive feedback and suggestions on how to make my game better". 

"I have had some great help with the code from Mixels and Zooperdan and testing from Tony Aksnes and Jamie Neil Morgan. Márton Imre Gáspár has made the awesome tittle music. I have made all the animations and game assets my self using Asprite, Resprite and Photoshop. To put it all together I have use Scorpion Engine from Eraok. Disclaimer: I have only used AI on the tittle screen and the highscore screen. The rest of the pictures have been drawn and pixlated by me".

  1. I like it, nice colours and good design, a world war 1 plane. May I suggest you to increase the number of bullets and to make them tiny dots because the already had machine guns.

    1. Bigger models do change it up a bit. The backgrounds are really cool and look authentic too.

  3. Haven't had the chance to try it out yet, but it looks really good. Roar has worked his socks off and this is his first attempt at making a Game, so hats off to him.

  8. Hello everyone!

    First of all I want to thank all of you who has been so nice and motivating with your comments. That was really not expected but really means alot.

    I will try and release the playable demo next weekend, but there are some issues I would love to fix before I put it out there.

    The full game will have a free digital version with option to support. I hope to finish the game by the end of the year and make big box version (thats going to cost a bit) sometime in 2026.

    Also to be clear!
    I will not dream to think that I can compete with Banshee or any fantastic top shooters on our beloved Amiga, i find such statements quite silly and naive. But if you find my game entertaining and fun I will be very, very happy.

    To be continued.
