Sweet screen!
I like the starfield very much!
Love this simple screen. Such colorful rasters (even horizontally) and massive burst of stars in yer face
Great looking, color-cycling copper bars!
Nice stars.
Cool chippy.

Colorful! I love that night sky with the milky way in the background.
Nice little cracktro to advertise an amiga webshop/store
An small technical miracle and the compo winner for me...Batman Group has the Midas touch, even an small cracktro can turn to gold under their expert hands.
Massive starfield and super smooth
Nice one, i liked that bars.
Somehow it reminds me of the output of the OldSkoolDemoMaker that was used several years ago to effortlessly produce a lot of crappy Windows crack intros.

Excellent design and coding; flawless, well done!
Really pretty copper bars :3
Was gonna thumb it down at first because I thought this was made in OSDM... but then I saw the platform :P

perfection!
what RufUsul said
So many tricks for a single screen. Well done!
Really, really nice. Subtle effects, massive starfield. Strangely enough it only runs booted from floppy on my A3000/060, not from HDD.
Not to be sneezed at. Feels like a cracktro. Lovely. Pretty cool idea with
the heterogenous starfield in front of the nebula - though I would have
rather expected the SilverSurfer than Batman in this setting ;-)
Thanks for this great cracktro and the upcheering entertainment.

Very nice cracktro, except I did not like the music.
very strange things are happening when running this cracktro on MiSTer & ASUS PA248QV: https://i.imgur.com/UR2FexG.jpg
I've never seen this before. otherwise the display never had an issue with image persistance. the ghost image still shows when running Windows on another input of the monitor. after disconnecting power and waiting for approx. 15 minutes, it goes away and everything seems to be normal again. this happens every time I run this particular demo. wtf?

Nice starfield and colorful screen
Nice one! <3
I really liked the copperbars and especially the starfield. Rhino as always does not disappoint,
Thanks for the feedback, guys!
Here are some notes for those of you who haven't read the text of this little cracktro:
Some of you may be familiar with the design of this cracktro. That's because it's based on an original design published 14 years ago by the youtube channel buromaschinen, under the title 'Shadow of the beast 2 crack intro' https://youtu.be/WRLN-altyM0
There was some controversy in the comments of that video, with some claiming it was a fake for including text about the game from wikipedia, others saying that something like that was impossible to run on a standard A500. Whether it was fake or not, we found the motivation to bring that cracktro to the A500 as part of the amiga programming practices prior to the development of Batman Rises.
Technical curiosities:
Nebula background are sprites in 10 colors and was not in the original design.
Starfield is composed of more than 1300 stars in a wide range of sizes.
Copper plasma-bars use mesh to smooth the horizontal color gradient.
All blits are launched from the copper so that the cpu has enough time for calculations without attending to the blitter.
Sinustext uses 3 bitplanes, the starfield uses another 3 bitplanes, the copper bars use 2 bitplanes because of the mesh, and the sprite galaxy uses an equivalent of between 3 and 4 bitplanes.
Scrolltext is in hires without interlace.

Classic cracktro ingredients on crack!
This cracktro should have won. Beautiful in every way.
Those copper bars are ace.
Amazing crack intro style!
A lot of very well picked colors, and an awesome starfield. We were very happy to see this intro at posadas!
Very beautiful starfield visual
This is for me the best one of the compo.. but.. this isnt a crack intro but an advertisementro :D
Colorfull, and those stars.. wooowwwwww..
Have you ever danced with the Devil in the pale moonlight?

I found this fun thread on eab about whether this cracktro would be possible on Amiga OCS:

As some say, nothing like making it to prove it :)

Great story behind the intros conception. Looks great!

Had a quick look. Very cool thread. Will be my bedtime reading; gosh,
this sounds kinda nerdy and weird.
Little question: Have you implemented the sine text as it's discussed in
the thread...or would pre-sheared letters be another possible option?

Cool copper bars and stars, colours, ok music.

No, I did the sinetext with 2 pixels of horizontal precision but maybe I could have done it pixel-precise. The biggest challenge was combining the use of copper, blitter and CPU to get it all together runing at 50 fps considering the starfield had to be quite populated and including a wide range of sizes.
Using the graphical capabilities of OCS to make it look visually not too inferior to the original was also a bit of a challenge.
I just found that aeb thread yesterday.

This cracktro conviced me to buy (at) the original :D
Very nice starfield!
Lovely raster!
Nice tune. Is there an audio file (MP3, OGG, XM, S3M, IT, MOD, etc.) of it?
Good stuff, those rasters r0x!
Pretty much cracktro perfection
Moar!
@AntDude We have just uploaded the mod. Thanks!
ok
Oldschool overdose <3
