Hey guys and gals! The Beta for Rad Rodgers has been out in little over a week. It's amazing to experience the game in the hands of you guys. Thank you so much for all the feedback and bug reports we've gotten so far. We just released Beta 0.2, which includes a TON of Fixes, Tweaks and Additions. This is a MASSIVE update to the Beta. Alongside tons of bugfixes, tweaks and additions, we've also added the Overworld and a new Level to the game. The Overworld is Rad & Dusty's Hub, from which they access and unlock levels in World 1. In the Beta you can freely roam the overworld, but you can only play Level 1,2 and 4 at this moment. In order to unlock level 2, you have to finish level 1. In order to unlock level 4 you have to finish level 2. In our next update we'll add Level 3 to the game. The overworld also gives you statistics on how well you did in each of the levels. We suggest starting a New Game (Deleting your progress), to see how the overworld works with proper progression.

The first time you launch the game you'll be presented with the following screen: [img]https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/014/299/043/02c0d3334a1cbad35b5bfb9a1c5123c6_original.JPG?w=639&fit=max&v=1477669534&auto=format&q=92&s=66d3e397f40441a94d79f4c970dcc8b7[/img] This will allow you to pick your default settings for. Picking [b]Child Mode[/b] will turn the blood in the game, into purple goo, and bad words will be [b]beeped out.[/b] And Grownup Mode will of course have none of that. At any time you can enable/disable blood and censored voice-overs in the new [b]Parental Control[/b] options. Last but not least, we added a brand new level: [b]Romp in the Swamp![/b] Below you can check out a video-update on the new level: https://youtu.be/vgYvzfs7fmY You can also glance over screenshots from Romp in the Swamp below!
