I just bought your game on itch.io. Have you ever thought about publishing your game for Evercade? I currently love playing retro games on my Evercade console. Please contact Blaze Entertainment and see what they think about it. I would be happy to buy the game as a cartridge, too.
Very nice but hard shooter. Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 01:23:21. Subscription to our YouTube or Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
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?
Shame, i'm still interested to hear if other Inviyya players have issues with the A500 and Pistorm? i would really like to play without dismantling my machine!
Thanks for your reply, the game is a success.🤘🏻 looks awesome. yeah It should be no problem. But I saw an earlier comment that someone having a trouble getting it run on the a500mini.
Hey tuahis. Nice to hear you like the game. Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback on this after playing a while... :) (and yeah, Inviyya 2 is in the works right now ;) )
I used the contact form on the poly play website. It took quite some time and only just now I found out that I did receive a response already six days ago, but Gmail put it in the spam folder. So some patience and checking the spam folder regularly is advised. Apart from that great stuff...love inviyya and love the the commitment of tigerskunk. Adding two full levels after release as free dlc is simply lovely...can't wait til their next game.
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 ;)
That's easily explained. SFX are very memory hungry on the Amiga since they samples and need to be in Chip RAM if you want to use them through DMA access (which is fast).
An Amiga 500 for which this game is aimed at has only 512 kb of Chip RAM, and Inviyya uses almost every little piece of that for fast triple buffering, music, multi parallaxing, keeping all kinds of gfx and animations that are needed all the time (fonts, explosions, the players ship and its shots, upgrades, etc)... 512 kb might sound like a lot, but all that stuff adds up quickly.
One other explanation for sfx missing for some things is simply a lack of time. In the end I just wanted to get the game shipped after months and months of bug fixing and improving stuff.
I concur, SFX are lacking in the game, but if you are just one person who does EVERYTHING it all comes down to compromises in the end if you want to create a game that rivals old titles from back in the day.
Hope you will like the game anyway, mate... Thanks for your already written and hopefully future feedback when you played the game.. 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.
I have copied this answer from snz138 on eab: "It was a bit tricky, but just go to the main page of the game: https://tigerskunk.itch.io/inviyya
Then (when logged in) you should see "You own this game" on top of the page with "Download" button. The button takes you to a page showing the files available for download. The balance update lha is in this list "

Sorry, no idea what might cause the problem here.... : /
Shame, i'm still interested to hear if other Inviyya players have issues with the A500 and Pistorm? i would really like to play without dismantling my machine!
I was wondering if the game works on A500mini ?
I think the A500mini can do AGA games, so there is nothing that should prevent you from playing the game on it.
Thanks for your reply, the game is a success.🤘🏻 looks awesome. yeah It should be no problem. But I saw an earlier comment that someone having a trouble getting it run on the a500mini.
It works on A500mini 🙂, just adjust the copper setting. Beautiful Game. Looking forward to the next one🤘🏻👍🏻
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
Sorry for the late reply, mate.. Was a bit sick.
Can you send me your e-mail-adress? ;)
Thanks, my e-mail address is :
Check your mails... ;)
I have it now ... Many Thanks
looking fabulous :) when did the concept begin and how long did it take you to complete?
Hey mate. Thanks for the nice comment.
Started in late 2016, and took me around 4 years. Not working on it all the time, though, of course... ;)
awesome :)
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!
Hey tuahis. Nice to hear you like the game. Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback on this after playing a while... :) (and yeah, Inviyya 2 is in the works right now ;) )
Love the game, Cant seem to get LHA working on my new Amiga Mini, so any help with that would be appreciated.
Hey Drisk, I will answer you on your thread on the English Amiga Board. :)
Two question:
How to use WHDload version on retroarch, with PUAE.
How to use trainer on ADF version.Tnx.
Sorry, mate, I don't have any idea on both topics... ;)
Grrrrrrrrreat game! Simply awesome!
Thanks mate, much appreciated!
Hi, i bought the Deluxe boxed edition and now i would like to download th 7th level... Have i to pay again?
Just write to Poly.Play if you bought the game there, mate... :) They will send you the update.
Greets, Tigerskunk
Ok thanks... where I can find the Poly.Play email address?
I used the contact form on the poly play website. It took quite some time and only just now I found out that I did receive a response already six days ago, but Gmail put it in the spam folder. So some patience and checking the spam folder regularly is advised. Apart from that great stuff...love inviyya and love the the commitment of tigerskunk. Adding two full levels after release as free dlc is simply lovely...can't wait til their next game.
Thanks for the kind words, Tolgod... :)
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?
Hey mate, happy to hear you and your child like the game... :)
What do you mean by "simplified version"?
Greets,
Michael
excuse me, the balanced version
Thanks
Ah, okay.. :D
The 7 level version has all the enhancements of the "Balanced Version" already in there.
It's the Balanced Version plus a new level, so to say.. :)
thanks for the repley !
Saluti dall'Italia ! :-)
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.
Wow, now that's a nice feedback... :)
Thanks, mate. Hope you are happy with the game.
Would love to read how it plays for you.. :)
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 ;)
Thanks for the support, Dtomaso.. :)
Yep, it's planned to do more boxed releases.. Let's see how that turns out.. :)
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:
Yay, super nice... Thanks for the effort, sedor... :)
:) Hope to see more games from you "soon" :)
I saved the Galaxy, including level 7! What's next? A new AGA game??
Thank for creating galaxies for me to save!
Thanks for supporting Amiga game dev, mate!
Happy to hear you liked the game.
My next game for the Amiga will be an OCS game once more. Will be called "Krogharr", featuring a beer drinking Barbarian.. ;)
Love the new 7th level, Excellent job Michael/Tigerskunk :)
Thanks, mate... Glad you like it. :)

yes, the update is just the slave files and not the complete package ( so you must manually copy slave over).
We will fix this ASAP.
Until then, go to Whdload.de and download it there :)

Enjoy
Downloaded and loving it!
My Amiga 1000 with lightning fast 68010 can't wait to get the box copy soon ;-)
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?
Unfortunately no, we are two different shops not connected to each other. Hope you will like the game when you play it, mate... :)
Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to it :-)
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...
I have copied this answer from snz138 on eab:

"It was a bit tricky, but just go to the main page of the game:
https://tigerskunk.itch.io/inviyya
Then (when logged in) you should see "You own this game" on top of the page with "Download" button.
The button takes you to a page showing the files available for download.
