- 3 Hit Blunders Bundle - 20 Bonus levels unlocked - 19 March 2025
Hi Everybody, Retroa Retroa Builda I have come to the realisation that I may have lost my focus, in this game. I seem to have put too much emphasis on the modern gamer, and in doing so have neglected the classic/retro gamer. Forcing them to endure the difficult modern controls. Although they could have created their own levels in the editor, I feel I may have pushed them to the background. Please forgive me and accept my apologies. I have decided to unlock the 20 bonus levels, so you don't have to play through the game levels to unlock. You can select them from the levels menu. These levels have the classic game controls. Difficult Modern Controls With regards to the difficult modern controls. I have decided to create a full training area, that will run you, fully through the game mechanics, breaking them down in minute detail. Sorry for any frustration caused.PLEASE NOTE! All the twent…

- 3 Hit Blunders Bundle - Chiptuned - 17 January 2025
It's taken a while, but finally 3 Hit Blunders Bundle has been chiptuned. To speed up the process, I've converted some of the music my son was creating for his games. Massive thank you to him. So as I get around to creating my own original chiptunes. The tunes may change over time. But for now please enjoy the chiptuned version of 3 Hit Blunders Bundle. PLEASE NOTE! The chip tunes have not been created with the rather annoying music editor on the Retroa Retroa Builda title screen. Promise! ːsteamhappyː
- Happy New Year from Late teur t' gem - 2 January 2025
Up to the new year, I have been getting my game collection ready to be entered in the GDWC 2024 Winter Season. In doing so, I have been refining the modern platforming mechanics in Retroa Retroa Builda. I have decided to add coyote time to the jumping, as after the refinements the jumping had become a little bit too difficult. Easy game mode - Coyote time set to 3. You have at least a one block fall and coyote time will still activate Normal game mode - Coyote time set to 2. Ninja game mode - Coyote time set to 1. Thank you for your time, and thank you very much for your patience.

LIVE NOW - October 31st 2024 - Full release v1.0 Well, what can I say, "I FINALLY MADE IT", I have no idea how I got here. It's been a long hard slog, and although it's not over just yet, I've finally reached a substantial milestone. I would like to thank everyone who has clicked through to this game, and especially those who have offered feedback. Massive thank you to those who have wish listed this bundle. Hope you can find it in your heart to support me into the future. I foolishly decided to create three love letters to retro gaming. While I learned the ins and outs of game development. Thou I am far from perfect in the field. I have tried my very best to achieve a fairly playable game. I can put my hand on my heart and say I have, a much greater respect to all of those in the industry of game development, all aspects are difficult. So those skilled in their field, deserve at least…
- Demo Updated to full release v1.0 - 29 October 2024
Just a quick update to let you know that I've just updated the demo to the full release v1.0. Which allows you to try the full game for 5 minutes then returns to the main game selection screen. Please check out the latest update, there's been many changes. I have to apologise to all who have downloaded and tried this demo in the past. I think it has been broken for, far too long. This is a much more stable version, I hope you can forgive me and give it another go. Not long to go now.
- October Update - Week #4 - 25 October 2024
LIVE NOW - October Update - Week #4 Well I've tried to get through as much of the list as I could. As you can see I didn't quite make it, after having sorted more, in addition to the list. This next week, I will change focus to getting a up to date demo and readying the store page. I will try to fit in, completion of the list of changes to be made. But I have to be honest and say that the controller rumble and music/audio my not be fully implemented for full release date. If I can find the time I may add temporary place holder music. I have still got to look into why the Xbox controller won't allow the game to start, and is only fine after plugging in when game has launched. I will try my very best to get the games to their most stable, for full release date. Thank you for your time and patience, for what as been almost a year and a half. I look forward to your future support, and will…

- September Update - Week #3 - 20 September 2024
LIVE NOW - September Update - Week #3 I was going to add rumble to the games this week, but have discovered that the rumble that I added a while ago to, Ah! ate those flockin birds. Has stopped working and none of the commands to activate rumble don't seem to work. So I will have to look into why this is happening. I will have to put this feature on hold for the moment. Until I can find out the reason they're not working in my games. Hopefully it's before it goes full release. I tried to update joystick controller "Input6" to the latest version "Input7". But this didn't sort it anyway, And it broke my game a little, and I couldn't remember how I sorted it last time I updated. So I reverted it back to "Input6" for now. It's all fun and games. ːsteamsadː 3 Hit Blunders Bundle Added 5 game navigation/selection sound effects. User Interface snd_game_select snd_game_select_first snd_menu_sel…
