New Family Added – Thief!

A new weapon family has been added: Thief. It includes Woolball, Elastic, and the newly introduced weapon: Twig. This is the last change regarding weapon families.

As a heads-up, all families will include four weapons in version 1.0.

I know it's not the best to change weapon's families, but I promise, weapon's family and path won't move any more! I'll add more weapons, but no more changes to the existing ones!

What's next?

We're coming close to the 1.0 of the game that will feature 20 cats and more than 25 weapons, with more than 50 paths.

One last adventure will be added soon to the beta branch if you want to test it. It's the last adventure where you'll have to fight a lot of known enemies with some surprises.

A lot has happened during the last year, and the game has come a long way. As always, thank you all for you trust and feedback. It wouldn’t be the same without you!

See you soon!
