Inviyya

I have bought the Collectors Edition Box Diskette and just wanna say "Thank you" for this great game. I really love the music and gameplay is addictive.

The Box is beautiful. Nice to have the Micro SD also included.

I have an A500 1meg chip and Pistorm/3.2 rom and workbench etc. booting from disk or WHDLoad the game plays with a constant judder, like every 1/2 second or so. Has anyone else had any joy with this configuration?

I was wondering if the game works on A500mini ?

Hi, Finally I bought it today in digital version... to fully support the development team !!!

It's a beautifull game,

But don't You have any Manual in PDF ?

Best regards,

Pascal

looking fabulous :) when did the concept begin and how long did it take you to complete?

I bought the game today, and I'm glad I did it. Great fun indeed, and really looking forward to any future releases from you. Thanks!

Love the game, Cant seem to get LHA working on my new Amiga Mini, so any help with that would be appreciated.  

Two question:
How to use WHDload version on retroarch, with PUAE.
How to use trainer on ADF version.Tnx.

Grrrrrrrrreat game! Simply awesome! 

Hi, i bought the Deluxe boxed edition and now i would like to download th 7th level... Have i to pay again?

I have received my copy of the game in the BOX version. Wonderful ! I recommend the purchase to everyone!

I am very happy, my 9 year old child also plays happily!

In the box there was a CF where level 7 was present but I have not found the simplified version. Is there no way to get it?

My boxed copy arrived yesterday! AMAZING. My first ever Amiga game purchase Digital OR Boxed. Was so glad to see your interview with Amigabill on his Twitch stream. 

Bought your game in Big Box edition, hoping your next games also will be in Big Box edition cause it completes the nostalgia feeling + looks awesome on the shelf ;)

This is a great game, really love to play it again and again.

I've made a short video of it and published it on my channel:

I saved the Galaxy, including level 7! What's next? A new AGA game??

Thank for creating galaxies for me to save!

Love the new 7th level, Excellent job Michael/Tigerskunk :)

as a great fan of Amiga CD32 and shumps I bought it but I was a few frustrated by the difficulty , but NOW with the balanced version and cheat mode, it's another game !! , it's bloody awesome :) thanks (winners don't use drug lol !) 

This is a great game and I love to play it! Fantastic work!

With the update I tried to install the WHDLoad file, but it seems, the linked WHDLoad archive is incomplete. The installer script is missing. It worked fine with the original file from WHDLoad website.

Hi, I bought the physical release from Poly.Play. Does the physical edition come with a digital download that I can play while I wait?

Hi,
I had already bought the game a few weeks ago here and now see that there is an update to the game.

Where or how can I download the update without paying money again?

Thnaks...

Great work. Thank you so much for keeping  the Amiga community alive!

Hi,  thanks for making a great game.  I saw you on Amiga Bill and remember you spoke a little about your development process.  Can you share more details on how you created the graphics?  I seem to recall you used GIMP?  How did you create Amiga compatible files?  Can you share some guidelines and pitfalls you overcame to get that process working?

I just finished the game today after many hours of fun.

I can't wait to practice the next level and get my boxed version :-)

Thank you very much Michael for your excellent artwork.

Hi Tigerskunk, thanks for the game! And greetings from Finland!

As a gamer who has played tons of SHMUPs, this one is pretty good. Catchy music, varied levels, nice organic designs and decent difficulty. And for the Amiga! That’s something I like to support!

I just beat the game with my real PAL Amiga 500 with 1MB RAM and with Gotek. Everything worked nicely!

There is only one area I like to point out: the collision detection. 95% of the time it’s fine! But I ran into some spots that seemed to work little odd.

1. Third boss, you could hit the boss even when shooting way under past it. Also there was some invisible things (not bullets) killing you when travelled little closer to the right.

2. Fourth boss would not play any sound or flashing when damaged, so I was totally mystified in the beginning if I was even shooting it in the right place. Well, I guess I was when the boss eventually died.

3. Last level with the big ship, I once hit an invisible wall (or something) when I destroyed the two guns on the front and flew above the ship. I just died in thin air, not really even close to the ship. That was truly surprising. After that I was a bit afraid of these invisible killers.

4. First boss stops shooting after it dies but I think almost all other bosses shoot even after dying. Something I found little inconsistent.

5. The second level has some nice curved organic level design, l like it! But it seems quite hard to know which shapes you can touch and which will kill you because it varies a lot. No really a big problem, you can shoot the shapes and figure it out that way. But some improved consistency in the sprite shapes and the real collision detection would be nice!

All in all, good little game! I’m amazed that these new games are still made to these older computers and consoles. It really makes me happy!

I hope you keep on working on new stuff like Inviyya.

Hello! I'm the webmaster of radio-paralax.de, a webradio dedicated to chiptune- and computer game remixes. I've planned a Livestream on Twitch for saturday evening and want to ask you wether it would be possible to get a free promotion copy for showing and reviewing the game in our livestream - maybe even for a longplay. You can also contact me over the website. I'm looking forward to you answer and would be to show the game in our community. :-)

Hello Tigerskunk! Congratulations on this awesome shooter! I would like to ask if its OK to promote the Digital version of Inviyya through AmigaLive.

As example: I can have a configuration ready for anyone who purchases the digital version and places the digital file under their emulation folder to allow them to easily play and stream their gameplay live through twitch.tv/amigalive

You require a complete address for "VAT". This is ridiculous. It only applies to the U.S..

The rest of the world is fine with the Country of origin.

plz talk to itch.io.

Hello, we’re interested in covering Inviyya for our podcast/website on our new Amiga CD32, but wanted to know if the download that’s up for purchase is already formatted for WHD loading from a CF via TF330 expansion board? (We’re still new to Amiga & wanted to know what we would be looking at to get setup before committing to coverage.)

Thanks again for your time!

I will say this. All the people clamoring for this and that like this is a pub with a full menu... I don't get it. People demanding auto-fire? If they were to go buy a brand new road bike, would they also demand training wheels to go with it? Having to press the fire button requires effort, and it was a design choice I think one learns how to manage with practice. Holy smoke! Never seen so much whining and complaining over what in my mind has the potential to become a legendary game. 

In other words I trust your choices. It's your game, and it's brilliant. 

In case it's useful I paste my quick first levels impression / remarks from my EAB post : 

Hi ! I've played quite a few games yesterday evening and reached level 3 boss (pretty tough one)... What can I say ?

- I feel you've hit the spot in terms of difficulty curve, which is extremely important for a shmup Right from the start, the game gives the feeling to be difficult but you improve very quickly (you = the player in my text .

There is a common pitfall the game does not fall into : the need to memorize everything. Obviously, the game gets easier as you learn to identify the dangers and the enemies patterns.

Another big plus : the game does not "artificially" try to raise the difficulty or its length but adding tons of waves, unexpected super pervert enemies, etc.
Oh, and super important too : losing a life and thus your equipment does not hamper you that much. Of course, it's tougher but far from being punishing. It usually means "game over" for me in games like R-Type.

Levels are long enough to entertain and put some pressure on you, but short enough not to bore you and not to make you super frustrated when you die after several levels. Also, you get extra lives based on your score.
You do not have tons of different ennemies but they are completely different from one level to the other and feel very fresh. Levels settings are very different : you do not feel content or games mechanisms are being recycled, so it feels varied and continually interested.

Generally, from a technical standpoint, it's very impressive for a one man effort. I'm playing it on my MiSTer FPGA on a projector on the wall, with some scanlines, and it looked gorgeous -- which I must say I didn't expect. Maybe it doesn't always feel as "dense" as some late Amiga endeavours with big teams (ex. Disposable Hero) but it really feels like an AAA game. Music feels it could do with an additional channel for a pad but hey, it's already very enticing.

The only thing that disturbs me a little is I have to continually focus to get the fire rate optimal. I guess that's something I'll probably master quickly.
Cheers !
