19.01.2024 - Amiga game 'Wizonk!' - test version released
Enter the arena and fight off three friends (or enemies) with a range of mystical powers! The aim of the game is to be the last spellcaster standing, by any means necessary. This is the first multiplayer test for Wizonk, supporting 2-4 players, either using a parallel port Multitap or two players on joystick with two on keyboard (currently a bit janky) - Wizonk’s core multiplayer component is free (pay what you feel), but in time there will be an enhanced, more fleshed out Wizonk+ with a single player / cooperative campaign, available commercially.

This a flappy bird clone made for the Amiga 500 computer. It should also work for all Amigas versions (but hasn't been tested) since it's using relatively primitive and basic graphics and isn't interacting much with the OS.
