This means that the next version of Rad Rodgers will have a TON of new content. Everything from tweaks and fixes based on Feedback from you guys, new levels, new weapons, new and improved pixelverse mechanics, and most importantly - Physical releases on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
The new "Ultimate Edition" of Rad Rodgers will have a new name, and all existing owners of the game will get the new version as an update for free.

RAD RODGERS: WORLD ONE IS OUT!
Rad Rodgers: World One is AVAILABLE NOW! It's been quite a ride! 2 years ago we started talking about what we wanted to do next, and it was always a dream of ours to make a new sidescroller, inspired by the PC and NES classics we played and loved growing it.
It's been a crazy ride, and with a successful Kickstarter campaign a few months ago, Rad Rodgers was given the boost it deserved.
Thank you so much to all of the amazing support from backers all around the world. When we started reading the comments from fans, and industry legends we grew up admiring, we were even more motivated to do our absolute best!
Today we finally released Rad Rodgers: World One, and I couldn't be more proud of the amazing effort by the team.
We're just a small and humble group of people, following our dreams, and we sincerely hope all of you will join us for the ride!
