You can now give your friends (and yourself) some pats!
(to disable patting, turn it off in the multiplayer settings)
Added feedback to opening chests for others, so you know whom to thank <3
You can open up your friend’s emote chests now (it costs you 1000 clicks, for your friend it's free; both must update their game)
With the new Cat Randomizer, you can manually randomize your cosmetics! (inventory → dice button)
When hovering over other cats, their names are now shown without the need of focusing Bongo Cat first
Brought back emotes to singleplayer (sorry on that note)
Many bug fixes (thanks to all the bug hunters <3)
Rotate and flip you friends with the buttons R and F when hovering over them
Right clicking other cats makes them transparent for a short time (clicking on their label shows the options to flip/rotate/scale)
Moved the presets into their own little window, so your inventory is kept clean (inventory → cat with hat icon)
Moved the inventory settings to be accessible from the inventory (inventory → settings icon)
Don’t forget to update your game!
Much love <3

The DLC pack is finally released!!! You can grab the these new 6 cosmetics from the store with a 25% launch discount here:
All other DLCs/packs are also 25% discounted right now!
This contains 3 skins and 3 hats. Bumble Kitten, Meowxolotl and the Sea Purrtle! This helps us to support the ongoing development and cosmetics creation, we want to Bongo as long as possible!
Get them each, or get them in the dlc bundle with a 25% launch discount! (and the usual 33% bundle discount) if you grab all them.
Patch notes:
You can open up your friends chests now (it costs you 1000 clicks, for your friend it's free)
Language filter can be disabled (locally)
Quality Filter for the inventory (you can disable it in the settings if you don't like it)
Many bug fixes (thanks for all the hunters out there <3 )
You can ctrl + c your cat now!
Right clicking the cat makes it translucent for a few seconds so you can interact with things behind it
We had to disable the incentivized rewards (f.e. collab with Nightwater or the wishlist ones) and moved them to owning the full game or removed them entirely, because it was against Steam Guidelines to incentivize this, sorry for that.
We will now run a limited event to celebrate Summer for the next 4 weeks (until the 14th of July).
During this time you can drop 20 exclusive summer items!
After July 14th the items will no longer be dropable.
So exchange, exchange, exchange and open your chests!
A good friend of mine developed this game solo 🤯 . And i'm insanely happy that we will help him out as a "Publisher". You know what this means: More free items for you for checking his game out! Show him some love. 💖
You get the Nightwater Backpack for wishlisting the game (make sure to use the in-game banner) and the Nightwater Cat for playing the demo for 5min.
This contains 3 skins and 3 hats. Bumble Kitten, Meowxolotl and the Sea Purrtle! This helps us to support the ongoing development and cosmetics creation, we want to Bongo as long as possible!
Get them each, or get them in the dlc bundle with a 20% launch discount! (and the usual 33% bundle discount) if you grab all them.
This will take another day or two to be approved by Valve. Sorry for the delay here, we fumbled by submitting it too late :D I will update it ingame and in this post!
Patch notes:
Persistent lobby codes exist now
Fixes exchange bugs
Equipping now only highlights the item and no longer moves them to the top
Putting an item in the exchange greys them out instead of removing them
Hello, sorry for the long silence. Here is a bit of an update. But i keep it short.
First things first, because i know a lot of people are waiting: THERE WILL BE A LIMITED SUMMER EVENT SOON! Because of sickness this will take a bit longer.
Patch notes:
I now use another library that helps us/me to write WAAAAY less code for all the stuff. This took quite some time, so sorry for the long wait. But it should make everything a bit easier to implement in the future
Improved experience for the inventory, settings, multiplayer ui
Added lobby names and a lobby browser
Linux update will be out soon (for X11). Wayland will take more time.
We also have a indie collab that is running right now, grab some cool free skins!
Edit: Sorry update was way messier than i expected. Make sure to update your game constantly. Fixing everything right now, and thx to everyone reporting bugs!
Much love <3
-Marcel
I will launch a limited summer event soon (Flores was sick so you have to wait just a little bit longer)! We are still working on all the items, but it will be really cool! In the meantime I want to celebrate some more indies again! Here are some gems for you to try:
STUNTBOOST is a fast paced fingerboarding game if you are looking for some arcady fun!
Mothkeep is a cute moth documenting game if you are looking for some cozy nature adventure
Moldrise is a crazy horror game ... honestly its tricky to describe. Just play it! (graphical warning!!)
To grab their exclusive items you need to check their demos out for 5min, just take a look if you like it.
(Sometimes it needs a bit until you get the items, close the other game (so Steam syncs your playtime) and wait a few minutes sometimes starting a Demo the second time can also help <3)
The demos and items will be available until Friday 12th of June. After that you can't get them anymore.
Don't forget to update your game!
If you like the indie collab, please let me know! I want to support more indies out there and some have really cool games that i would like to collaborate with :) <3
I finally found a way to add community voting to the game! As some of you already saw was my first test.
We will from now on add different polls regarding certain decisions directly in the game.
I will respect the 27% and for them there won't be another community poll shown (until they enable it again in the settings). But overall i really appreciate all your feedback on this.
And yes it was ugly :D it was me bashing the assets together and not let Lars (who did the UI) do another pass here haha.
Additional Patch notes:
Added a language filter!! (shame on all of the bad kitties out there, i thought i didn't have to do this)
Various fixes regarding the AFK timer + chat
You can now disable the Discord integration (sorry :D i thought Discord respects your settings)
Future Patch:
Small info here: Iris and me, will try to get a small UI update out soon. We will try to make everything a bit more usable and not that cluttered. There was also an amazing idea in the Discord from "Manoni". They suggested a lovely idea how the new collection could look like! <3 Thank you!
We also set up a PC in our office with Linux, we are on it. But it takes time especially with all the different sub-OS.
I want to highlight another super cute game this week: Typing Farmer
It's made by two awesome devs that i got the meet over the last few months. Support them as well and show how awesome our community is <3
P.S. it's also another typing game, just run it while you play Bongo Cat :D
AND IT'S CUTEEE!!
To support them even more: Everyone who buys their game will also receive these 2 amazing items! The Angry Tomato Stray Hat and Pig Skin.
Much love <3
-Marcel
Additionally we just added the Discord SDK! You can now join lobbies directly via Discord!
You can also disable it in the settings.
You can now see if people are inactive in your lobby (after 2 minutes of inactivity)
Big week. Tap Tap Loot is out now on Steam and we want to celebrate it with the crew behind The Farmer Was Replaced
I tested around a bit with something called "IPC" short for "inter process communication". That allows two programs to "talk" to each other.
And i really liked the game "The Farmer Was Replaced" and decided to reach out to them if we can create a small collab :D
was born. :D
Now, you can automate both Bongo Cat and Tap Tap Loot. While your drone farms wheat, your adventurer fights monsters and your bongo cat taps along. You only need to use their new tap() function: while True: tap()
Update The Farmer Was Replaced, grab both games, and go :D
Thank you for the support since Bongo Cat launched <3
Marcel
Something a lot of you requested...Meowtiplayer Chat is out now!
You can now send small messages in multiplayer lobbies. This is not moderated so please...behave my little kitties <3
You can also easily disable the chat and emotes directly in the multiplayer tab.
Lobbies now have 3 states: Friends/Lobby Code, Invite only, Public
Public lobbies can be joined via the "join random lobby" button. We might also bring out a public lobby browser in the future.
We are releasing all the packs that you could previously already buy as a standalone DLC. This helps us to run promotional discounts, lets you gift them to friends, bundling them with other games and additionally we now also have regional prices for LATAM and a few other EU countries.
To celebrate the launch: All supporter packs are 20% off for the next 14 days. We also added a bundle for the full collection giving an additional discount of 5%.
Grab them here:
And as you might now, Tap Tap Loot is OUT NOW!!! Our first published game! I'm so excited, thank you all for playing the demo and giving us valuable feedback.
Thank you all for your ongoing support. It means the world to me <3
Everyone who buys Tap Tap Loot will also receive 4 exclusive items! The Goo Cat, Jester Hat, Bunny Ears and Bunny Skin.
We did a bundle with "The Farmer was Replaced", it's a cute programming game that i like. And you can now also automate your Bongo Cat and Tap Tap Loot hero!!
Check it out!
Much love <3
-Marcel
First things first: The mode is now disabled again (so update the game) and the Blood Splatter Skin will be granted to everyone for the next 2 days (as a small sorry how bugged it was).
I know it was a mess (regarding lobbies stopped working etc), sorry for that, i think i know what happened but we couldn't test it ourselves.
No matter what, this was a small test for me how people perceive such "multiplayer game modes" as an OPTIONAL thing. I know it was forced on you, but we wanted to test it with everyone and i thought april fools was a great time to do that.
Do you want to see other "game modes" that you can select and enable in a lobby in the future? What type of game modes would you like to see?
I created this feedback thread so you can make your voices heard <3 https://steamcommunity.com/app/3419430/discussions/0/806847328212516807/
~ Marcel
It is time. The most anticipated update you've all waited for:
TYPE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!!! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!! Every multiplayer lobby for the next 3 days will be a battle royale lobby. THERE IS NO ESCAPE!!! TYPE TYPE TYPE and try to not get eliminated!
Join your friends and win the typing battle or join a random lobby with up to 250 other players!!!
Every mouse that participates will get a special skin!
Want to join the battle royale with some real style?! Show it off with some BRAND NEW WRESTLING SKINS.
Wrestler Pack Store
I adjusted the prices again after Valve rolled out an update last week. The prices should be even lower for some countries and i fixed a few issues with some currencies. Thanks everyone who reported issues <3
Don't forget to update your game!
Much love <3
-Marcel
Hi everyone, small update post:
I found a way to "enable" (aka me creating all the prices haha) regional pricing for all the items in the supporter shop:
Supporter Shop
This means you should either see the same price (for EUR/USD) or a significant decrease in price for some regions. This is something we already do with our own games but never found a way to do for the item shop in Steam. Now i found a possible solution.
Bear in mind please if there is ANY mistake that you see, i will open up a thread for you to report these issues. Because of how the calculation works it might be that i miscalculated something and it now costs 100x more (i really hope it doesn't, but i found no way to check it myself). So please report any issues with it here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/3419430/discussions/0/806846367620395655/
I know a lot of you want to play with your friends (that are on Mac or Linux). With this update we will launch an experimental mac build that you can try out. Iris did some amazing work here, so thanks to her!
For all the Linux users: i'm on it. We are preparing a PC in our office so we can actively develop on it and test with it. I hope to get something ready soon <3
Please post any issues regarding the mac port here, so we have it a bit more clustered: https://steamcommunity.com/app/3419430/discussions/0/806846367620396268/
Additionally Iris got some nice quality of life changes in the game:
You can ROTATE your cat!! (with R while focused or in the settings)
Slider to change how many items per row get displayed (we will add an option to disable this slider with the next update)
Event collections without any item in it will be hidden from now on, to reduce the amount of items displayed in the collection tab
Feel free to use this post as a discussion thread for the changes <3
We are getting a cool update ready behind the scenes hehe 👀 stay tuned 🐁
Much love <3
-Marcel
What
A
Year
It's hard to put it all into words...thanks to every single one of you that played the game, shared it with their friends, supported the shelter cats or talked about it. It's insane. 5.8 million players downloaded Bongo Cat and gave it a try. I could never imagine reaching so many players and bringing them joy. Thank YOU <3
I have some cool stuff planned for this year (Steam Point Shop, April Fools 👀, The Collection Update and much more). But it takes time and i'm also looking for another person that can help me out in creating all of that. I also want to move away from just pushing you updates and want to include you even more in the future development. I will be more active on Discord in creating polls that help us decide what features we want to push next :). I know not everyone is on Discord, but it's the easiest and most accessible way for me, i hope you understand.
The first thing i wanted to vote on was: Achievements. Something that i really like in games and something i now know, a lot of you like as well and want to see more of. 80% voted in favor of adding more achievements. So here you go, happy 1 year anniversary, happy bongoing! <3
Not all achievements will give you new cosmetics, but the new tap amount ones will. Flores created some amazing new skins and hats for them:
Note: The items might take a bit until they appear in your inventory. I still see a lot of Steam API failures. Valve told me they are already looking into it, so stay tuned and patient please <3
No new supporter items, but i wanted to say thank you to all of you that buy the items to support the ongoing development. I'm very thankful to all of you <3
You don't need to buy anything, but every bit helps us to continue even further, thank you! And sorry for all the plugs :D Steam just doesn't feature them really good haha <3
Supporter Shop
And don't for get to checkout the Tap Tap Loot Demo <3
I wish you all the best of all years and much love <3
-Marcel
This is a small cross collab post because we publish Tap Tap Loot. Thank you for everyone who participated in the playtest and giving an insane amount and valuable feedback! THANK YOU! <3
Today we will launch the demo for the upcoming Steam Next Fest! HYPEEEEE!! We will close the playtest but your progress will carry over to the demo.
If you check out our demo (you have to play for 1min), you will get this cute skin and some glasses! <3
Don't forget to update your game!
Thanks again for everyone for your support, it means the world to me <3
Marcel
Hello, it's me again, Marcel. Sorry for the few hours delay, i hoped to get it out on midnight but didn't quite make it.
I wish every one of you a Happy New Year! Enjoy the upcoming time with your friends and family. <3
You are a big part of my every day life now and i really appreciate it to read all your kind messages and how you care about your little desktop buddy. Thank you so much <3 Also a big thank you to Flores again for these wunderful new skins and hats, she does an amazing job! And to Lars for the amazing Steam page rebrand (take a look! it looks great!!)
To celebrate a huge part of our playerbase (and i hope everyone else can and will enjoy it as much) we will now run a limited event to celebrate the Year of the Horse for the next 4 weeks (until the 16th of March). I know it's a bit longer than the official holiday, but i want everyone to get a chance to enjoy this update as much as possible <3
During this time you can drop 20 exclusive Year of the Horse items!
After March 16th the items will no longer be dropable.
So exchange, exchange, exchange and open your chests! There might be something else in them 👀🎆 🎇🎆
To get you in the Lunar New Year spirit, we've added a free calendar which gives you something special each day, for the next 2 weeks. From February 16th to March 1st, you can open a red envelope every day (at 8pm CET) to get your hands on an exclusive item!
The calendar will be available until March 16th, which means you can also open evelopes from the past. So don't worry if you don't have time on a particular day.
In addition, we will be releasing another calendar (which will replace the supporter bundle in this event). It contains 14 premium items!
If you purchase the "Lunar New Year Deluxe" (until March 16th), you can still receive your rewards even after the event ends, so nothing will be lost!
We don't want to give too much away, but here's a sneak peek at some of the items you can expect:
Lunar New Year Deluxe
There is new stuff coming, but it takes more time, but let me know on what you think: I want to revamp the collections to multiple smaller ones, i want it to feel more progressive and less like a huge task that is never ending. With each small collection i want to give a special item if you complete it f.e.: Get all fruits -> you can claim a free fruit basket cosmetic.
Let me know in the comments what you think about this change!
-Marcel
Hi fellow Bongoers,
Small announcement: WE ARE PART OF THE STEAM TYPING FEST 🥳🥳🥳
To celebrate this you can grab your free Ranged Mecha L.A.S.E.R. (Long-ranged Area Supressor of Enemy Resistance) by updating your game, following the giftbox and claiming your free Mech!
Some of you are CRAZY! And to reward that we added a special skin and hat for everyone who reaches 1 million clicks (this was edited back down from 5M, sorry for all the troubles).
If you haven't noticed yet, we publish our first title (even though we are working very very closely with the Turtle Knight Games Team :D) During the Typing Fest we will open up the playtest to the public, so feel free to check it out here:
Lobby type (i.e. private / friends only) stays consistent if lobby host leaves
Multiplayer players can copy lobby code if lobby is not private
Fixed multiplayer emoji UI scale
Having both “Always Show Chest” and “Auto Hide Counter” enabled won’t cause weird behaviour anymore
Better range to determine if counter should be visible if Auto Hide Counter is enabled
Fixed cosmetic preview screenshot bug
“Apply” text for scale is localized and only appears if unused scale is selected
Auto equip also enables after item exchange
Adds an IPC connection to Tap Tap Loot, giving you buffs if you equip certain items
I still read all your feedback, we are working on bigger changes behind the scenes to rework a bit the onboarding, progression etc, so stay tuned <3 - Marcel
Hello everyone, i'm back from a nice christmas vacation! This is a quick update for in between, it will mostly contain a lot of quality of life changes made by Iris (she joined us back in October woop woop!). So big thanks to her for helping me out!
You can now preview cosmetics before getting them. Just head over to the collection where you can click on cosmetics to showcase them on your cat.
A lot of you requested this, you can now set your lobbies to private which means invite only via Steam.
We also added two new supporter items, Yin and Yang that you can grab here:
YinYang
Full patch notes
Adds option to auto equip drops
Adds option to always show chest
Collapsable tags in collection
Cosmetic preview
Error indicator if chest fails
Emotes get scaled with ui
Emotes get cleanly deleted when multiplayer cat gets enabled after spamming emotes
Visual feedback if chest can't be opened
Chest position remains right when scaling UI
Scale in Settings has to be manually applied
Private lobby
Finally we can share the total amount that everyone here donated:
It's crazy, if someone had asked me what my year would look like, I would never have imagined something like this happening. At the beginning of the year, I asked Lars (my co-founder and the person who did all the UI <3) if we could organize a charity event for the Steam Animal Fest, and we immediately agreed. So I chose our local animal shelter in Munich and decided to contact them.
They were very cooperative and introduced us to their difficult cases, for which it is not so easy to find a new home.
Flores and I then decided on all the cats you see now and may also have as skins. A big thank you to everyone who contributed! It was a total of 14.126€ and we topped it up to make a sweet round number <3 THANK YOUUU
We decided to visit the cats this Monday. Look at Bobby!!!! HE IS SO CUTE!! Thanks to all of you, he will have a blessed life at their shelter until he finds a new home <3
Left to right: Flores, Julius, Lars and me :)
If anyone wants to adopt one of the cuties, feel free to reach out to them here: https://tierschutzverein-muenchen.de/tiervermittlung/tierheim/katzen
I wish you all a Merry Christmas, take good care of yourselves and your families! <3
First of all: You have made my year. It has been and still is crazy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I cannot express my gratitude in words. I wish you all a wonderful Christmas and take good care of yourselves. <3
We will now run a limited event to celebrate Winter and Christmas for the next 4 weeks (until the 31st of December).
During this time you can drop 20 exclusive winter items! For this event, I moved many items to lower rarity tiers so that you will see a wider variety of items! I'm still not entirely satisfied with this solution, but it's only a temporary measure while I think about future events.
After December 31st the items will no longer be dropable.
So exchange, exchange, exchange and open your chests!
To get you in the Christmas spirit, we've added a free Advent calendar. From December 1st to December 25th, you can open a door every day (at 8am GMT) to get your hands on an exclusive item!
The calendar will be available until December 31st, which means you can also open doors from the past. So don't worry if you don't have time on a particular day.
In addition, we will be releasing another calendar (which will replace the supporter bundle in this event). It contains a whopping 25 premium items!
If you purchase the Deluxe Calendar (until December 31st), you can still receive your rewards even after the event ends, so nothing will be lost!
We don't want to give too much away, but here's a sneak peek at some of the items you can expect:
Deluxe Advent Calendar
I will take the winter break to recover a bit and to prepare some new features, all the content preparation was quite stressful. Take care of yourselves <3 <3 and thank you!
-Marcel
Patch notes:
Fixes a bug with emoji chests not dropping anymore
Should fix some crashes
If something defined 2025 for me it was definitely Bongo Cat! And what a year it was! Millions of you had the cute little companion guiding you through your day. We had cats with sunglasses, a zombie with a tiny cowboy hat, squirrels with ice cream cones and strawberries with top hats. Truly an infinite amount of cozy little typing creatures. Thank you for that wonderful time! You are truly amazing! <3
What better way would there be than to celebrate all this with the Steam awards.
First of all THANK YOU to everyone who supported the charity! I will do a more elaborate post later on that <3 BIG BIG THANK YOU!!!
To celebrate some more indies we did some collabs with FOUR indies this time. To grab their exclusive items you need to check their demos out for 5min, just take a look if you like it.
Edit: Sometimes it needs a bit until you get the items, close the other game (so Steam syncs your playtime) and wait a few minutes sometimes starting a Demo the second time can also help <3 Edit: sorry, Constance is no longer available because they removed their demo before our event stopped :( Edit: Quick update on the Indie Collabs:
It was a bit messy, sorry on that. A few demos went offline and the granting was inconsitent with the Steam servers.
I decided to give the items out to you all if you play in the next few days (until 30th of November). After that you can't get them anymore.
Don't forget to update your game!
If you like the indie collab, please let me know! I want to support more indies out there and some have really cool games that i would like to collaborate with :) <3
To celebrate the Steam Animal Fest, we introduce you to these 6 cuties: Bobby, Jerry, Luna Teddy, Tommy and Vinci
You can adopt Luna (ingame) for free by updating your game, following the giftbox and claiming your free Luna!
But not just ingame, if you are actually interested into adopting one of those cuties, feel free to checkout the website of the animal shelter (German only): https://tierschutzverein-muenchen.de/tiervermittlung/tierheim/katzen
All of the skins will only be purchasable until the 17th of November. So feel free to grab a second one and gifting it to your loved ones <3
Patch notes:
Re-enable all items for trading with friends!
Fixes a few issues on shutdown of the game that can cause issues with autostart
Claim your free Halloween costume for the next 7 days (until the 5th of November).
You can pick one of the three items: Zombie, Nosfergato, Frankittystein
Update your game, follow the giftbox and claim your free costume!
We have more content and requested features planned for November so stay tuned <3
Patch notes:
Adds the supporter items to the ingame menu and shows the actual discounts
Fixes an issue that sometimes your cat can go offscreen
Queues item popups so you can see what you get even if you claim items quickly after another
Should fix an issue that the multiplayer item claim popup still shows even though you already claimed an item
Adds an error indicator if opening the chest fails
Updates the engine version (if you have any issues with the transparency not working anymore, please reach out to me on Discord: spicedpigeon )
Adds analytics via Steam Stats. These are fully anonymized and mainly used by me to see what costume you pick for example
Fixes the exchange mixing things up with emojis and non emojis
Fixes the emote wheel, it should pop up more consistent
Fixes gaming mode not working with the transparency fix enabled
Fixes exchange icon while no exchange can happen
Fixes collection item count being wrong
We will now run a limited event to celebrate Autumn for the next 3 weeks (until the 31st of October).
During this time you can drop 20 exclusive autumn items! There will be 4 for each rarity. The chances to drop event items are also significantly higher than before :) so everyone should get some! To be clear, if you drop an uncommon item it is now higher that the item is an event item, we didn't adjust the overall drop chances.
After October 31th the items will no longer be dropable.
So exchange, exchange, exchange and open your chests!
This contains 3 skins and 3 hats (their wings). Calabrian Black Squirrel, Eastern Grey Squirrel and the Eurasian Red Squirrel! This helps us to support the ongoing development and cosmetics creation, we want to Bongo as long as possible!
Get them each, or get the 33% discount if you grab all them. 🐿️🐿️🐿️
Squirrel Pack Store
I have some super cool stuff planned for winter, so stay tuned and don't forget to update your game!
Patch notes:
Adds an emoji exchange (emojis will trade up to other emojis)
Fixes the interaction area for the emotes
Sorts the collection a bit better
The emote update is finally live and you get a second chest!
Should fix a bug that can make your cat disappear on auto start
Fixes the auto start toggle not working correctly
Removes the dragable area in the emote wheel
Adds a second chest, just for emojis (exchanges are WIP)
Adds emotes as their own category in the collection
Emotes now don't spawn if players are hidden
Fixes a bug if a player gets kicked that they are stuck in a join loop
Removes a Steam integration that should fix any inventories that showed 0 entries
Thank you all for your feedback again!
I'm sorry. Yesterday update didn't work out as planned. For everyone new, i'm refering to this:
First we had a lot of issues with the Steam servers until someone lovely from Valve jumped in and fixed something in their backend. This was regarding all the "Steam Error" you saw.
Now regarding the emojis:
I saw a lot of posts and read a lot of comments regarding your concerns. We are now adressing the issues with a few steps:
We are removing Emojis from the drop pool RIGHT NOW, so your chests and exchanges will only contain skins + hats again.
We will split up the drop pool for hats/skins and emojis.
We introduce a SECOND chest which will ONLY contain emotes that will show up once you are in a multiplayer lobby. I will try to deploy that update today. We will introduce a exchange for emojis later (probably starting of next week) where you can trade up your emojis.
A big sorry for the update and the mess i produced.
Thank you again for voicing your concerns and feedback! It is super important to me <3 EDIT (02.10.): we will try to get the update out on Monday. We don't want to rush anything before the weekend. Stay tuned. And thank you all for the kind words <3
A big thank you from me for your continued support, it means a lot to me and my team! It seems like you all love the multiplayer update. <3
Today we are releasing the Emoji Update for Bongo Cat!
We have added over 100 new emojis to the item pool! Now you can communicate with your friends by spamming their screens with emojis!
When you update the game, you will receive 4 emojis as a starter pack. Happy Bongo-ing! (This might take a bit until they are granted, up to 2min, be aware :D) You can find your emojis in the bottom of your cosmetics tab! And you can use them by hovering a bit over your Bongo Cat in a multiplayer lobby.
The next limited-time event with exclusive cosmetics will also start soon! So don't trade in ALL your dupli-cats.
To force update use the "update and restart" button in the settings. Also don't forget to check out our supporter items. This funds the development of all the skins and the new content that we have planned <3 Item Store
Patch notes:
Adds emojis that you can use in Meowtiplayer Lobbies.
Adds an option to mute other players in your lobby.
Fixes a bug if your cat is offscreen that didn't reset correctly.
Auto rejoin if you restart your game or leave it by accidently
