Developer Fancy Factory has released Kaboomania, a new fast-paced retro maze bomber, across modern and legacy platforms. The title is available now for Linux, Mac, and Windows, alongside versions designed specifically for original Commodore Amiga hardware.
Quick Facts
- Platforms: Linux, Mac, Windows, Amiga 500, Amiga 1200, and CD32.
- Content: 1,000 hand-made levels across five themed worlds with support for four-player local play.
- Audio: Original score by Chris Huelsbeck, featuring studio mixes for PC and ProTracker MOD versions for Amiga.
Modern and Legacy Support
Unlike many retro-inspired titles, Kaboomania includes native builds for both modern operating systems and vintage machines. The Amiga 1200 version runs at 320x256 resolution using a 128-color AGA palette, while the Amiga 500 build utilizes a 32-color palette. A boxed physical edition for Amiga is planned, though a release date for this version has not yet been set.
For PC users, the game is available on Steam for $8.99 USD with a 10% launch discount. A free demo is accessible on Steam, and a separate demo for the Amiga 1200 build is hosted on itch.io.
Technical Details and Soundtrack
The game features a soundtrack composed by Chris Huelsbeck, known for his work on Turrican and The Great Giana Sisters. The music is adapted for the hardware, with Fabian Del Priore handling the Amiga-specific conversions. The full 14-track soundtrack is available for purchase separately on Steam and itch.io and is compatible with all supported operating systems.
While the game is now live, developer support for the Steam Deck remains unconfirmed, and there are no official performance claims for specific hardware configurations at this time.
