One of the first demos to show off the palette capabilities of the AGA chipset. Very vibrant and colourful.

Not the most good-looking early Amiga prod out there, but you can really tell they're excited about the new hardware. 256 colours! :)

Colourful demos with very catchy tunes by Deelite. Excellent timing and some neat effects, like the one in the screenshot, the twister scrollers or the diagonal scrollers. Early AGA at its best!

Just a note to the comment by dipswitch. Yes, it was involuntarily released out of compo due to compatibillity problems with the compo-computer.. It was entered into the compo but wasn't properly displayed on screen.
Loads of great content in this demo. Very enjoyable!

:-) As I recall it was animated sprites on top of a HAM8 background, so 2^24 possible colours.

We didn't highlight it in the demo or even mention it anywhere that I recall, but as far as we know a world record was set (for that time) for the number of dots in a dot ball in full frame rate.

To add to Dolphin's comment, it didn't make it into the competition because, if I remember correctly, they didn't disconnect the external floppy drive and the demo needed those additional 20-something kilobytes of RAM to run.
