Kaboomania
A downloadable game
KABOOMANIA is a fast‑paced retro maze bomber packed with explosive action, colorful pixel art, and a fresh twist on a timeless gameplay formula. Designed for the Amiga (including an AGA port) and PC.

KABOOMANIA brings classic arcade chaos into a new era — complete with an exclusive, brand‑new soundtrack by legendary composer Chris Huelsbeck (Turrican, Giana Sisters, Apidya, Katakis).
Experience a vibrant 128‑color-pixel-world, huge maps, clever enemies, and more than enough explosions to keep you on your toes. Whether you're exploring the massive single‑player campaign or battling up to 4 friends on the couch, KABOOMANIA delivers pure retro energy with modern polish.
Features
- Authentic low resolution pixel art in 128 AGA colors (Amiga 500: 32 colors)
- Exclusive new soundtrack by Chris Huelsbeck
- Classic chaotic arena gameplay — reimagined
- 5 unique themed worlds
- 1000 levels (!!)
- Large maps with varied environments
- Dozens of quirky enemies with distinct behaviors
- Crazy collectibles and power‑ups
- 4‑player couch battle mode
- Password system for true retro vibes
A Modern Take on a Classic Concept
KABOOMANIA is inspired by the spirit of 16‑bit action games, but it’s not a remake or a clone.
It’s a brand‑new interpretation of the maze‑bomber genre — built with fresh ideas, original art, and a unique identity.
Whether you're a retro enthusiast, a pixel‑art lover, or simply someone who enjoys fast, explosive gameplay, KABOOMANIA offers a nostalgic yet modern experience for all ages.
The game is currently in development. A demo can be downloaded below! The demo offers the first 10 singleplayer levels (no multiplayer in demo - sorry 😉).

Very good game and fun to play. I added it to my video along with other games released in February.
Thanks a lot!
Very fun game that truly shines in multiplayer mode. We were given an exclusive preview of the Battle Mode during our last livestream which can be found at 00:14:14. English subtitles are also available. 🙂
Yep, that was a fun session! 🙂
very good
Oh, that's strange. An emulated A1200 in WinUAE with only 2MB of chip RAM is my main development environment. I wonder if anyone else has this error? Did you just boot the ADF in WinUAE? What exactly did the crash look like?
The game already looks fantastic and is sure to be a party hit in multiplayer mode. We already showcased and discussed it during our last livestream (starting at 00:21:24) and will be taking a closer look it in the next show. 🙂
Thanks for your show! Looking forward to the next one...
…can’t unsee… …holding the competition pro 5000 the wrong way round…
Haha, funny. I didn’t noticed! 😂 I informed my artist about it. She never touched a Competition Pro before… 😉
Fixed! 🙂
