This is an enhanced recreation of the Homestar Runner Flash game, Trogdor. It is currently available for PC, Switch, Wii U, Wii, 3DS, Vita, and PSP.

Homestar Runner is no stranger to fan ports of its Flash games, and its impact on Flash media, as well as Internet media as a whole, cannot be overstated. Though the original game is still playable on modern devices through its HTML5 port, this project aims to expand on the original release with new features and multiplatform libraries that allow for porting to a wide variety of systems.

Features

  • A faithful recreation of the original Flash game, including intermissions.
  • New Options menu allows you to change archer frequency, points needed for extra lives, how often Strong Bad talks, and more.
  • Level select.
  • New cheats, in addition to the original game's Konami code.
  • Optional soundtrack from Stinkoman 20X6, another Homestar Runner game.
  • Screen scaling options for both full-screen and integer scaling/"pixel-perfect".
  • Bugs from the original game have been fixed.

Changelog

v2.1

  • New Features:
    • Added Knight Movement option: "Original" retains the Flash version's behavior, while "New" (default) is similar to how knights move in the HTML5 version (reworked some code from Trogba for this one).
    • Added Chance preset: Enemy speeds and behaviors are shuffled at the start of each level, and level order is also shuffled! Do you feel lucky?
    • Added Sound Test: Listen to songs, sound effects, and Strong Bad whenever you want!
  • Bug Fixes:
    • Fixed level 31 being unbeatable due to the player spawning inside a cottage.
    • Fixed a bug where high scores wouldn't always save.
    • Fixed autosave not happening under specific circumstances.
    • Fixed the Level Beaten smoke animation replaying for a single frame.
    • Fonts and graphics are now packaged into the executable for neatness (audio is still separate). More importantly, startup load times are greatly improved on consoles.
    • [PSP] Fixed console crash, meaning the game now works on real PSP hardware again (sorry for the wait on this one).
    • Other minor bug fixes.
  • Other:
    • [GAMECUBE] Added beta Gamecube build (file I/O is still not implemented, so no audio or save data).
    • Updated SDL2 libraries on most, if not all, systems.
    • Renamed "Mips's Choice" preset to "Mode 8" to reflect my new username.
    • Renamed "Knight Behavior" option to "Respawn Behavior".
    • Other minor text changes.

v2.01

  • This update is Wii-exclusive, as it adds one feature:
    • Added Trogba demo to the main menu; using a Gamecube to GBA link cable, you can now transfer a demo of Trogba to play on your GBA, no flashcart required! Big thanks to Jeremy Elkayam for making this demo and managing to cram everything into the GBA's 256KB of RAM.

v2.0

  • Added Frame Rate setting; you can now play at higher frame rates instead of being limited to the original game's 16 FPS!
    • PC goes up to 144 FPS, consoles go up to 60, and 3DS goes up to 30.
  • Added save data support for settings, high scores, unlocked cheats, and mid-game progress (the idea for that last one is shamelessly stolen from inspired by Trogba).
  • Added the following options:
    • Arrow Speed: Self-explanatory.
    • Knight Speed: Self-explanatory.
    • Knight Behavior: Makes knights continue moving in a constant pattern after you lose a life, similar to the HTML5 port.
    • Shuffle Levels: Shuffles the level order so it's different every time you play.
    • Level Transition: Lets you leave the Level Beaten screen by pressing the Confirm button instead of waiting for it to happen automatically (thanks again, Trogba!).
    • Speedy Mode (cheat): Lets you move up to 2x as fast.
  • Difficulty Presets: Too many settings to dig through? Just choose one of the five new presets! Your high score is saved for each preset.
  • Restructured menu into multiple sub-menus instead of everything being lumped together.
  • Added "Reset to Default" menu button that resets all settings to default except screen scaling.
  • Added Doom-style Quit confirmation screen.
  • You can now press Start at the title screen to skip it.
  • Big Head Mode is now a normal setting instead of a cheat.
  • Changed several menu text strings.
  • Assorted polish, optimizations, and minor bug fixes.

v1.1

  • Added Treasure Hut Behavior settings.
  • Changed Archer Frequency settings.
  • Changed Commentary Frequency settings.
  • Fixed sprite bugs that occurred when changing scaling mid-game.
  • Polished cutscenes.
  • Adjusted opening screen text.

v1.0

  • First Release.
