SkillGrid is an endless score-attack vertical shoot 'em up. It is currently in development, and will be released (hopefully) in Q1 2019.
This new AGA title looks like its really got some potential. This game comes from the wonderful guys at ReTream who of course brought us the wonderful title BOH. This game seems to be aimed at AGA machines so supported by A1200, A4000 and hopefully we will see a CD32 Realease as well! Luckily it only requiures 2mb of ram!
