Hey everyone!

I made a couple of changes to Retro recently, here it is!

Difficulty changes

• Helicopters in Dogfight now have less health
  
• Decreased the point requirement to progress from Ball Protectors in story mode to 100

Gameplay changes

• If two bullets collide in Dogfight, they will both be destroyed

Bugfixes

• Fixed an issue where a distortion effect wasn't applied in the intro of the story
  
• Fixed an issue where the player won't be told when they can progress during the "corruption" portion of the story

And a lot of optimization updates
I went through nearly all of the code in the game and revised it to be a bit more performance-friendly.

Thanks
Thanks for playing Retro! I'll talk to everyone later!

Hey everyone, it's Matthew.

Music Update history
Back in September of 2020, I promised an update for all of the music in Retro. The main menu music was replaced when I announced it and I was working on replacing or updating some music. For the time being, I temporarily replaced some music with the songs I was more proud of.

Fast forward to April of 2021, I canceled the music update. I've been busy with school, work, and working on my next game so I just didn't have the time to work on Retro.

Recently, I revived the music update and here it is! To kick off the update, Retro will be 80% off for 2 weeks (starting tomorrow, Steam wouldn't let me start it today for some reason)!

Changes in this update:

• 2 new songs: Hired Guns and Carbon. These are used for Zombies and Ball Protectors.
  
• All arcade songs have been updated.
  
• The soundtrack has been updated with these new songs.
  
• Fixed a bug that allowed objects to appear before the player was supposed to be able to see them.
  
• Minor optimization improvements.

Come talk to me!

Love yourself
These past couple of years have been rough for everyone. I know it's super easy to feel bad right now and be upset with the general state of the world. I just want to say that I'm super proud of each and every one of you for persevering through this time. I really hope you are in a good mental state as it is extremely important to stay positive in a time like this. But most importantly: love yourself, even if you don't feel like loving yourself. If that's hard for you, please reach out to someone who can help. I really want everyone to be happy so don't be afraid to ask for help.

Thank you and talk to you later!
I can't thank everyone who has played Retro enough. You all really mean so much to me and I am so thankful for all of you. I really hope you have a fantastic day and I'll talk to everyone again when I release the settings update!
