Internal Project Name

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.

The game's internal project name is "rs10", according to the rpx filename and a filepath in the rpx. "rs" presumably stands for "Retro Studios", suggesting that this is Retro Studio's 10th project. But it's not clear what constitutes a "project" in this case or how their other games fit into this numbering.

Revisional Differences

The original release of the game had a glitch which had a rare chance of not unlocking 3-4: Scorch 'N' Torch after completing 3-3: Frantic Fields. On April 3, 2014, a patch labeled as Version 1.1.0 was released that fixed this glitch.
