- Big Update for my Big Birthday - 15 June 2020
Hey hey I turn 40 years old this week. As I do with every birthday I put all my games on sale. Check out these deals Return of the Zombie King - 50% off 1 Screen Platformer: 83% off Quality of life update I also decided as a special birthday present to update 1 Screen Platformer with a ton of quality of life improvements. Here they are Update 1.40 (You get it? 40? Heh this old man still got it kids.) Leaderboards! I don’t know why I didn’t add this earlier, I have a damn speed running game. It took me a while to implement but they are in there. Go hurry and get your name up on the leaderboard before the rest of the speedrunners discover this and figure out how to beat my game in -1 minutes. Fall through: When you are on a 1-way platform you can now push the down arrow and you will fall through. Why didn’t I do this earlier? I don’t know, I was being a snob. When I started making this ga…
- 1SP FREE bonus: The Lost Missions - 12 February 2020
This is going to be fun. All this month I am building new levels within the 1 Screen Universe. Every Wednesday I will be emailing you a new EXE with 4 new mini-levels. They are short but very challenging. Think of them as secret bonus content. But I don't want to just build this alone and release it upon you like some long-forgotten uncle who drops by to stay for the week because he doesn't want to pay for a hotel. No no! I want to get your feedback. So once you are done playing the levels I want you to rate them, tell me what worked and if they were too hard. To play the levels you just need to sign up for my mailing list so that i can send these prototypes along. Register here: http://returntoadventuremountain.com/29day
- Christmas is over update :( - 6 January 2020
Alright! I hope you all had a good holiday but all fun times must come to an end. The Christmas mode was a blast and I heard from so many of you that you enjoyed collecting those presents. But keep your head up. Holiday season 2020 is just around the corner and there will always be some fun new mode then too. While I was taking down the decorations in 1 Screen Platformer I also fixed up a few bugs The Gun Miner exploding blocks would sometimes explode the wrong color of debris, I fixed that. Vez's level didn't have music for some reason. Added it back in. The Gun Miner normal level had a few items that were from the Hard Mode of the level. I swapped them out.
- Free Update: New Playable Character - 3 January 2020
I have added a new playable character to the game. GUN MINER! Gun Miner is a mysterious and unstoppable figure who caries with them the Void-Blaster Riffle. One shot from this short-range weapon and just about any block will instantly disintegrate. Don't want to jump over that block? Blast it! Want to drop down to the next floor so you don't have to go all the way around? Blast it! With the Void-Blaster there is no longer a designated path through the level. You can do it in just about any order. Watch this: Skip huge chunks of the level just by blasting through it. But be careful! Sometimes walls were there to keep traps in place. With no wall, some traps can wander freely through the level...like this blue pounding block. It was once safe to stand there. Not any more. I can't wait to see what you do with this new character. There are so many different ways to play the level now there…
- New Christmas Game Mode - 9 December 2019
Christmas is my favorite time of year and I want to give back to you. So I added a new mode to 1 Screen Platformer. Each character must grab presents as fast as they can from the level. You might also notice that the world has been decked out with snow and holiday decorations. You can't hear it in the screenshot but there is also new Holiday music for each of the characters. https://i.imgur.com/USaG5dH.png But I am not done giving you stuff yet!

- New Game from the Creator of 1 Screen Platformer - 6 November 2019
1 Screen Platformer was all about really difficult platforming in a tight environment. But, if you felt it was too confining get ready for the Zombie King. In Return of the Zombie King you venture across a wide landscape. 100s of levels in 4 major environments: Forest, Caves, Hell, and Castles. Gameplay is auto-running platformer. 1 Button push to jump. The trick to Zombie King is that at the start you have no eyes so the world is in Black and White. You have no legs so you can't jump. You have no ears so the world is silent. In the world you must collect gold and then you can buy your body parts back. Once you get the basics there are a whole world of upgrades. Double jump, Wall jump. Bonuses for going as long as you can without getting hit. It is all up to you. Plot a strategy for getting back to your castle. Check out Zombie King today for 20% off. Don't wait because the game will on…
- My Next Game - 13 September 2019
My next game now has it's own store page! And guess what! It tells the back story of that mysterious king that was in 1 Screen Platformer. Remember this guy? Return of the Zombie King is an auto-runner, 2D-platformer where you must COLLECT GOLD, and UPGRADE your body so that you can get more and more powers. The story is about a King who was killed because he spent too much money on his castle. However he made a deal with a mysterious man who game him all his humanly powers (and more) in exchange for gold.

- Wot I Think: 1 Screen Platformer - 26 June 2019
Developer: Return To Adventure Mountain, LLC. Publisher: Return To Adventure Mountain, LLC. Release: Out now On: Windows, MacOSX From: Steam For: 0.79, $1, 0.79 1 Screen Platformer is a misnomer: the level might technically fit within 1920×1080 pixels, but the camera is zoomed in at all times. That means you never see the level as laid out above, with all the many deaths that await you on a single screen. Still, the idea is sound: a single level of tricky platforming challenges to be completed with 4 characters, each of which brings its own specific twist. (more…)

It is my birthday this week. Hold your breath. This post isn’t me fishing for compliments. I turn 40 next year and that means I don’t really care about birthdays anymore. Really this post is about you. You see when it is my birthday I put all my games on sale. Look up there you see that. 1 Screen Platformer is on sale. FOR 50 CENTUM (that is latin for cents kids). Boom. Now I only have 1 game on Steam (for now) so I am sorry but that is the only thing I can discount for you. Now you are probably like awwww that hard working game dev is selling his game for pennies. I really wish I could give him something. Close eyes. Nod head. I think I have an idea.

But whoa boy it was not. There was a lot that went into this one. Note: To get this update sometimes you have to close steam and then open it again and it will download. ALSO if the game immediately crashes when you open it, uninstall the game from steam then reinstall (your level progress will still be there, don't worry.) You will know you have the right one if you get a red splash screen and on the main menu there is a 1.2 in the bottom right corner. 1) First off, the big one. The Vez levels are now a lot easier. I know. I watch the stats. Nobody gets very far in his level. So I cleaned up the nav orbs so they are in a much more manageable spot. Get to it. If…

We are trying to see who has the fastest completion time for each of the characters. In less than 24 hours (That is Wednesday 9PM Pacific time) I will screenshot the runs that were submitted in 12 different categories. Whoever has the best 3 scores in each category will win a prize (steam keys for some great games or a $10 steam gift card) Currently there are 6 categories that do not have at least 3 entries. That means you could start the game, make a sandwich, finish it. Upload a video of that (video of you eating the sandwich optional) and still win a prize. Just head over to www.speedrun.com/1sp and submit your run. This is a fun and friendly competition. If you…
- Patch Notes 1.10 - 2 April 2019
https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F32657439%2Fb7422dd01dd80646e849d63d997b56ef625ab5e8.png I patched 1 Screen Platformer. Thank you so much to everyone who has emailed me a support note or has left a comment in our Discord. I take your feedback VERY seriously. Here is what has changed: Fixed the Let's Play Badly(TM) shortcut. Like the Kessel run this was a shortcut that was a little... lets say illegal. Double-jump capable characters could use it to bypass the entire game. I needed to brick up that wall. Let me tell you nothing is getting through there now. If you want to see the discovery of it check out this excellent video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqYMjh3quiY&feature=youtu.be Fixed the glitch just above the flame plates where you couldn’t fall back down through the opening. You would just float there like "What now?" Made the sound of the intro d…

So you better get on that bronco. Now I don't like just SPAMMING you with some dumb sales pitch. So here is a super secret tip just to keep you happy. While you are playing the game, press "T" key on your keyboard and you can see your player's hitbox (it is that little red box). You also get to see hit points for all the objects in the game. That is what those little "1s" are. Everything has 1 hit point because this game is fricken hard motherlackers. Keep rockin in the free world. Chris

- Quicklook: Character Design - 11 June 2018
I want to show you what I have been up to with the characters. I hired a professional to do the art for the game's store page and promotional material. I want to make this game's marketing look as professional and to be as awesome as the game is. I hired the artist Eric Hibbeler who does a lot of work with other games you might of heard of like Crashlands and Hive Jump. I like his character designs and think they match perfectly with what I am trying to do. I want to show you the process of how we game developers go from a rough idea to a finished piece of art.... Commissioning art might seem like being a fancy patron like the Medici. Like I now have to wear a monocle or something. But you just have to stay humble and just work through it with the artist. Collaborating with an artist to make something that exists only in your mind is like trying to get a police sketch artist to draw som…
- Quicklook: The traps waiting for you - 3 June 2018
As you read this I am coding 1 Screen Platformer. While I am working on that I thought I would send you a bit of the background of the traps you will be facing... As you know, 1 Screen Platformer is a game that fits on 1 Screen. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F32657439%2F27ade42176645aad526a29f6104cd5f080367c43.png You play a tiny character who is only able to run and jump. Your goal is to get from that little tiny arrow in the top left corner that says “You are here” and wind your way through a crazy, dangerous, evil, bizarre, hot-lava-filled, laser-infested, temple, to the top right corner of the screen that says “Your goal.” You are going to die A LOT. Lets just take a look at a few of the traps standing in your way. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F32657439%2F28233c72f5e4ae81519e51852ae6cd7701c90ec1.png These are the p…
