Cat Rework
Jump Anywhere
After a few requests we noticed a trend and it was one that made sense so here it is! The ability to jump wherever and whenever you want. The precalculated jump will take over if you're close to objects to keep your cat abilities flexible and precise but otherwise hop away!
Precalculated Jump
The precalculated jump was... terrible... so its been stripped out and completely redone, now it's not an eyesore while you play! Below you can see a comparison of the new and old system.
sorry for the flash in the gif on the right... that is the actual jump causing the flash, not the screen capture..
General Movement
When running around, the cat didn't really feel like it had any weight at any point so there's been a full rework of acceleration and momentum giving a weightier feeling to the cat
There's been a significant change to how the cat functions in the world in a more ways that I can list here so if something goes wrong just reach out!
Custom Keybinds
They're here!Now you can assign just about any key you like; there is a reset button just in case you don't like what you set.
There's a whole host of little QoL fixes in this update to do with UI and how it works, if you want to know more then the full changelog is below.
