Additionally you can order a physical boxed edition with disks, manual and comic as well as stickers.
A price for the boxed edition has not been given. Other games of the developers could have been purchased for 10 Euro. Mini Zorro requires OCS and at least a 68020 processor. For a better performance, a slightly upgraded A1200 is recommended.

Music game for two mice: AmiSaber
AmiSaber (video) is a clone of the virtual reality game Beat Saber - a rhythm game taking place "in a surrealistic neon noir environment and featuring the player slicing blocks representing musical beats with a pair of contrasting colored sabers." The Amiga port is controlled with two mices and includes all necessary information and tools for creating levels with individual music. The game is supposed to run on an Amiga 500 with harddrive but the author recommends a better setup which is not specified.

Crowdfunding: Jim Power CD32 with CD soundtrack
Jim Power: The Lost Dimension in 3D (DOS and SNES, 1993) is a successor of the platform game Jim Power: In Mutant Planet which was also released for Amiga. A team has purchased the rights on Jim-Power and now via Kickstarter is financing a port to the Nintendo Entertainment System as well as a first release of the Sega-Genesis version which was recently found.
As an added bonus among others the Amiga version of the first part of Jim-Power will be republished - as CD32 game, including the CD soundtrack of the TurboGrafX port from that time. Each of these five different versions of Jim Power can be separately bought. For a pledge of 50 US-Dollar you will get a physical version of the game on CD or Cartridge including a "colored box and colored instruction manual".

Game previews: Project Horizon and DaemonClaw
"Project Horizon" is a "a top-view tactical action game that obviously takes place on the dark side of the moon." A preview video published in January provides a first impression of the level of development. Project Horizon will require 2 MB Chip-RAM and a harddrive. The game will be available for free including all sources and level editors.
"DaemonClaw: Origins of Nnar" is supposed to become "a new side scrolling action game." The development was started on the Amiga but currently it is developed on modern platforms using the construction kit "Construct 2". The completed game then will be back ported to the Amiga. The developers of BitBeamCannon regularly publish updates and preview videos on their Youtube channel.

Encryption: AmiSSL 4.5 (AmigaOS 3/4)
The encryption protocol AmiSSL has been updated to version 4.5. It is "the first public open-source based release of AmiSSL".
Changes:
- Dropped FPU usage from 68060 target, allowing 68LC060 and 68EC060 processors to benefit from the 4.4 changes, without crashing.
- Fixed a number of memory leaks, particularly where multithreaded applications would leak memory over time (although freed on exit).
- All binaries now stripped of debug symbols, improving load time.
- Fixed installer issue for MorphOS (#43).
- Modernized and improved the https example source code.
Minor improvements/fixes.
