Oh dear, that hasn't gone down very well, has it?!
Hmm..
First up came the issue with the Level Generator.
Things seemed to break fairly late in the project, meaning that different systems were generating different sets of levels.
For this reason, the online scoreboards were removed, as they'd be impossible to properly compare between all the different level sets.

Retro Broke!
Blog
19th June 2017
If you've downloaded RetroRaider-3 at any point today, you might want to re-download the game.
Whilst stress testing my level generator, I accidentally left a few "quirks" in there, including a cheat mode, and a "feature" that locks the game up and doesn't let you play.
Ooops..
A fix has been uploaded, so if you're stuck with the broken version, you should go and grab the new one.
The broken version sees the current level end if you hit the V key, and the whole game lock up if you try to load levels...

DevelopmentsI'm getting near to the goal, now. The game seems to have a good feel, and I spent about 20 minutes last night ensuring that every single one of the 81 (9x9 grid) levels would generate without any crazy array-out-of-bounds errors.Views 15, Upvotes 3
