🎁 Updated Supporter Tag Claim Screen

We’re excited to hear your feedback! 🙌

🛠️General Improvements and Innovations:

🧠We rewrote the game engine from scratch; we no longer use any part of the AI-generated code that was initially used for prototyping during the proof of concept phase. 🐾We reworked the hitboxes of all animals. 😉We reduced the frequency of the blinking animations. 🚧We extended the fences to make the game area more visually clear. This also increases the chance of bouncing animals off the fences like in billiards, giving you more strategic options.

🔊 Audio and Music Updates:

🐷Added new sound effects for animal throwing and merging moments. 🐂A unique sound effect was added specifically for bull merging — and it’s a bit different than usual. 🎶We’ve added our own original game music. 📹If you’re creating content related to Cat and Farm Pals, you can freely use the game’s music without any licensing concerns.

🎮Gameplay Improvements:

⚡We improved the animal merging algorithm: merging now occurs based on the faster-moving animal. 🧽We removed all old braking system info texts that used to remain on animals.

🐞Bug Fixes:

Fixed an authentication issue caused by Steam usernames.
