Since we updated the game hellfire came our way, we also had to attend to Athens Games Festival and this year’s Websummit and so some fixes came later than expected…

Back to the point - here is a list of issues that we fixed and new stuff that we added in the game apart from the French translation:
Achievement bugs fixed
+6 new Achievements
Various micro glitches
Situational bugs
Toned down the difficulty in some specific hell mode levels
These are all issues we resolved because of your help, we couldn’t have made it without you <3

🔥Final Major Area - RELEASED🔥
ANOTHER 26 LEVELS HAVE BEEN ADDED!
We are thrilled to announce that FINALLY the Third Temple Area of Robbie Swifthand is OUT!
The new temple area is consisted of 20 levels 5 special levels as well as -of course- a bossfight.
Took us around 90 days to complete the upload cus the internet is slow it but we could not be happier with it and we deeply hope you feel the same way. This one has been our personal favorite so far since robbie now has WINGS!! The wings will be available after finishing the second world and are obtainable the same way you obtained doublejump (͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖)
We also released a new Trailer in case you missed it! Please have a look and let us know what you think! Your feedback is of GREAT importance to us! Go have a look and tell us right after you watch it! If you DO NOT like it we will blame our video editor, lock him in a room and force him to finish the HELL mode of Robbie Swifthand WITH all the secrets unlocked. If you DO like it, we will do the same thing but we will also put the video on Youtube (we would stream it but our internet is slow)

So what's NEXT ?!
The secret area and the final boss fight as well as some SUPER SECRET additions that we are not sharing in order for you not to miss out on the experience of finding out what we're going to add.. but we are very confident that you'll like what's coming if you like the game as it is ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)
So what's NEW ?!
We tried to include as many improvements to the previously released content of the game as we forcibly possibly could add to our Lead Developer's already stacked up schedule and somehow we managed to add the following in addition to the 26 new levels:
Controls are now a tiny bit more precise and no more frame based! (EXCITING STUFF!1!!)
Animation and visual bugs fixes
Robbie has brand new refined textures + his hair moves which is nice
We polished the environmental textures of the 1st temple area to be up to the standard of the rest of the game
We added some decorations to the doors of the Main Hall
Thank you for reading this wall of text, we sincerely hope you stick around until our next and final Major Update - that will also be the FULL RELEASE of the game ( ͡◉ ͜ʖ ͡◉)
The third Temple Area of Robbie Swifthand and the Orb of Mysteries will be available to experience within THIS MONTH!!
Here is a sneak peek of what you should expect:

Robbie Swifthand - Area 3 Progress [Mid May]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BvMWUKUYN8
The theme of the 3rd Area in Robbie Swifthand and the Orb of Mysteries will BLOW YOUR MIND (and body) to pieces!
To answer the question "where did Robbie go after area 2 ?" we simply said "everywhere" and as you can see we did that .. In a LITERAL sense :D !!
We also made an update !
Whats new ?! (appart from minor bug fixes reported by our beloved followers that have contributed so much to our efforts :D ) the following stuff is new:
Brightness Control
Polished UI
Orb and Swirl color change in world 2
Default controls change (the "Throw Orb" button default is now the letter "M")
We hope you like what you see so far - the third world is still in early development so feedback of any sort is more than welcome!
Another 26 brand new levels are FINALLY available in Robbie Swifthand!
With our first major update Robbie Swifthand and the Orb of Mysteries DOUBLES in size - now containing 52 levels in total (both in Normal and HELL mode) with an area full of plants, now isn’t that an exciting way to enter the Spring season? (◕‿◕✿)
The ancient civilisation that built this place to be the garden of the temple. The tables have turned and the peaceful garden will be your graveyard if you make one wrong decision!
This Area appears to be different in every way compared to the previous one! Expect a whole new way to play as Robbie Swifthand since the levels of this area are significantly larger in size and more complicated in trickstery! HOWEVER FEAR NOT .. FRIEND .. as you will be provided with a great gift to help you overcome the challenges that lie ahead of you!
There is a small part missing from this update but it will be added within the next 2 weeks so thank you for bearing with us until then :
By the end of this world there is also some new hints about the story of this temple given by a new character that enters the game, and her story will unfold as you discover more and more secrets of the temple! Notes :
You will now also notice that the following changes have been made with this update:
Robbie now has a probability of respawning with wounds from his most recent death!
Some levels in the first Area are now somewhat easier..
Added a main hall to the game so you can select the Area you would like to enter!
The tutorial of HELL mode is now easier (but it’s still HELL mode)
Polished the animations, controls and physics of the Robbie
Fixed some minor gameplay bugs reported by the community (thank you so much guys <3)
The area will be available to play for everyone that has successfully played through the first Area, for any bugs please contact us - we aim to resolve any potential issues at once!
We hope you enjoy this update as much as we enjoyed creating it yet please do let us know what you think regardless!
Early February Update Notes and Upcoming Content
A new temple area is close to release in which EVERYTHING is different! Even a mysterious female character was added so who’s up for some news about what’s happening in the world of Robbie Swifthand and the Orb of Mysteries?!
Fellow reader we know that a month has passed since our previous post announcement (or millenia in Steam Early Access time equivalence ) so we hope to meet your expectations with this one!
For a starter we would like to mention that small changes have been made in the early stages of the first temple area so new players can have a little bit more time to get the mechanics of the game before the real challenge starts!
Alongside with that we also added a resolution change setting for users that experience lower framerates.
(You can lower the resolution by accessing the setting in the menu as shown in the image below)
We would also like to announce that if everything goes as planned we will be able to release the second temple area by the end of February - all levels of Normal mode are ready for testing but there is a boss fight and a HELL mode (for lunatics like our Level Designer that enjoy the extra challenge) to craft ahead!
We also have a commitment not to release anything un-polished or incomplete so bear with us for a few weeks ( ͡°ω ͡°)
On the flip side we still have time to tweak some stuff so your feedback would be of great importance to us!
We have released video since the last post announcement so please let us know what you think of our progress:
Any feedback is welcome - our aim is to craft a game that will be as good as we can make it so no sugarcoating, let us know what you think!
If you would like to see more of our content check out our facebook , instagram or twitter where you can also follow us to be notified about our latest work.
Thank you for reading this wall of text and we hope you stick around for more ( ͡ʘ ͜ʖ ͡ʘ)
Area 2 Progress
Robbie Swifthand finds himself in an area of the temple that is filled with plants!
The challenges presented are also fundamentally different than what he has seen so far since the traps work in entirely different ways!
It's almost as if this area speaks out "if you lose your focus for a second, consider yourself vegitable food"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBdzAMLUm3M
So the new features and traps are ..
*inhales violently*
<*>BEAR TRAPS !! <*>SPIKES OF DEATH !!1! <*>INCREDIBLE MOVING PLATFORMS THAT KILL YOU !!11!! <*>DESPICABLE ROCKS THAT BLOW WIND AT YOU !11!!!!1! <*>AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, A DOUBLEJUMP POWERUP 1!11!11!!!!!!11!!!!1!
There is still some way until this area is actually finished but let us know what you think (◕‿◕✿)
