After Donkey Kong Jr. came Donkey Kong 3. So, what comes after Fix It Felix Jr? Fix It Felix 3 of course! It’s become somewhat of a hobby for me to create new 80’s style arcade games and I continue to be obsessed with Wreck It Ralph.
This time, I wanted to make a Tobikomi style sequel to Fix It Felix Jr., so it’s a lot like Donkey Kong 3 – with some twists!
Gameplay for Fix It Felix 3
This new game is very similar to Donkey Kong 3. Wreck It Ralph is messing with another building, using ropes to get around. Meanwhile, Felix uses a window-washing cart to get up and down, moving keys to the locks before the building is destroyed!
This game should work in any Nintendo style cabinet running PC type hardware – it requires at least a 4-way joystick, 2 action buttons, and 2 start buttons. It can be set on freeplay or to take credits.
Game Design and Coding
Like my other games, this was created with GameMaker Studio 2. I wanted to keep the resolution and sprites authentic to Donkey Kong 3 so it has a default resolution of 224×256 (so hypothetically should work well on a CRT) but scales up pretty well to anything. Controls can be customized.
Sound and Music
I wanted to get away from classic music this time (something I often use in my Tobikomi style games since that’s what Nintendo often did) and instead converted some old pop songs to 4 channel retro chiptune music. Beepbox.co continues to be useful for this! Watch a gameplay video on YouTube.
Most of the sound effects are modified versions of the Donkey Kong 3 sounds – or simple beeps and boops I put together.
