Finally! A major milestone has been reached with 52 games in Retro Endurance 8bit! This is one of the major goals for Early Access. It's not done yet out of Early Access however as I still need to create a proper end game, then start converting these games into full arcades. But it's getting closer and closer!
New in this version are four new games:
49th game - Turtle vs Hare
It's your classic turtle vs hare fairy tale, except that the turtle's got a rocket pack attached. Spam the button to get the turtle rocketing at super duper speeds.
50th game - Volcano Bug
Play as this gravity defying bug that shoots out lava from its top. This one is a bit tricky to learn how to control, so spend some time getting to know this little bug.
51st game - Burgers Yum!
Quickly assemble those hamburgers for those hungry customers. But watch out for those with strict dietary needs!
52nd game - Robo Busters
Play this wonky 3D-ish shoot 'em up and destroy all those robot heads trying to destroy our future!
New accessibility features! (available at level 5)
Configure your trophy target difficulty: Easy, Medium (default), or Hard
Set last round speed to either Fast (default) or Normal (no speed-up)
Add additional time countdown text over the progress meter
(Special thanks to Serj T. for the ideas on this)
And some fixes:
Fix for RPG arcade having pausing menu appear behind store & inn screens
Fix Screen Fill red enemy escaping issue, bug on gem causing player death
Fix for platformer respawning below ground after falling
Significant level up requirement reductions until the second boss, some additional reductions afterwards
Added 500 points to the person finishing first in the races in Multiplayer
RPG fix with no level up when you get the exact amount of exp required
(Special thanks to GreenImp and InsaneFirebat for their bug finding expeditions!)
And a few more features:
Display the current map (from the game settings button)
Catching up available multiplayer games to all 52 games
Added arcade names above the playable arcades
And thanks for all those who sent in your Steam Deck reports! I can happily announce that Valve has officially tested and verified that the game is Steam Deck Compatible!
So what's next for the next version? I'll be working on a proper end game challenge in addition to a boss rush mode. After that I will start converting the remaining games to full arcades.
