Hey Cat Lovers!

The long wait is finally coming to an end, just a few more weeks to go!

Kitty’s Last Adventure 1.0 will be available on August 26th!

Follow us to be the first to see everything that’s coming in the full version!

If you want to play the close to 1.0 version, it's accessible for everyone under the beta branch!

1 => Open the properties of Kitty's Last Adventure in Steam

2 => Click on "Beta"

3 => Click on "None"

4 => Click on "beta - beta of next update"

The new achievements won't work, but launching the game after the update will allow you to receive them directly.

Change for the v0.9.0 version

• MrPoop and Stack of kibbles are now rendered under the monsters (so they don’t hide them).

• CatStick and Laser do more damage and have less attack speed (you can now one-shot the first monster with them! Way more satisfying!)

• Hair and HallowSock were not thrown correctly.

• Haunted Socks are more spread and deal more damage.

• Added sound effect when hitting monsters.

• Added an info message when a wave starts.

• Added a path trail when the cat moves (can be disabled in settings).

• Made the selection in the codex menu more visible

• Fixed a possible freeze during the very first wave

• Fixed loading screen sometimes not showing between menu and game.

• Fixed a very very rare bug where you could duplicate the waves

• Fixed a very very rare bug where you could have the Odorion's crab bonus forever

• Fixed the delay for the steam achievements (or at least one of the reasons it could occur)

Thank you all for your support!

The feather weapon was in the wrong family. It should be in Toy, it stayed in Cute.

Feather now has the family Toy (as shown in the family icon)

Major Additions

• Added an intro cinematic! Short and skippable, don't worry

• Three new playable cats

• 5 new weapons: adding 11 upgrade paths

• A podium screen now shows at game over / win / pause

• Once unlocked, a crab will always appear in the first wave 🦀

Gameplay & Balance

• Bosses no longer teleport, they move properly now (and won't damage you if you're on the way)

• You can now see when the damage up bonus is active (the red arrow)

• More rerolls available at the start of a run

Balancing

• Lasers stay alive longer

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!

Edit: v0.8.0b Titith had a problem with her shield, it's not fixed! Thanks Sl1v01de!

Fix a bug when trying to change the language for the first time.

Hey everyone

I’ve been juggling quite a few things lately, including launching the game on another platform, so I haven’t had the chance to add new content recently. That said, I’m still checking bug reports and fixing things as they come in.

Here are a few bugs that got fixed:

• The Challenge achievement no longer unlocks when playing Normal Mode. This used to happen in some edge cases.

• The Cupcat weapon should no longer get stuck in an invisible cup.

• The Woolball achievement was mistakenly triggered by using the Mouse weapon. That’s been corrected.

• The Xmas Gift weapon now print the Unachieved path

Just a note: the Mouse weapon doesn’t have its own achievement yet. I’ll add one in the next update so it won’t affect the 100% completion for players who already got everything in this version.

Thanks a lot to Shadowfang for the bug reports! And thanks to everyone who played and commented on the game; you're all awesome.

Not one, not two but THREE new cats

Cats can now break cups

• Instead of the magnet lying around, they are now in cups that spawn at the start of each wave.
• They are easy to break and contain items you can already pick up in-game.
• For those used to chasing the permanent magnets it used to have around the start, they are still there, just in cups now.
• Catcoins that used to spawn on the ground are now in the cups
• Most hearts are still spawning outside of a cup, because, well, if you need hearts, I'm not sure you want to take the time to break the cup first!

Controller shortcuts

• Close popup
• Choose your upgrade
• Reroll
• show the codex
• Navigate between the different tabs in the main menu
• Access some elements in the different tabs with just a button

Finally, Codex in-game!

• Codex shows the family
• Codex shows differently the items you finished or not (light yellow or full yellow)
• Items in the Codex are now grouped by families
• Automatically show the item you have selected
• Highlight (with blue selector) the choices you have in the current level up

Achievements

Change

General improve

• Added a boss animation (every boss is now announced) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44866873/3be299dd82fb4610a6706ae6bf6fef73c3d06dea.gif
• The sparks around pick-up items are now all different to help identify which one it is.
• Catcoins now move like the other items
• Added some tips on the ground instead of the same message every game (only 6 for now, but more are coming!) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44866873/8deb72eb03812670a56e5a5f8cad7e94850f75e3.png
• Added image to better show what the bars are about (like a little cardbox for the cardbox bar)
• Reroll now removes the previous choices from the new selection. It's always annoying to use a reroll and have everything back. Only works if you have more items available in the pool.
• Now, when killing a crab, you have a small explanation of what the bonus is about {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44866873/ed377be3c2afd362abcd3ce21d40ff51d6dee468.gif
• Onomatopoeias have been added (can be turned off), like the "crack" + some actions now leave a mark on the world (like breaking a mug). You can see an example of both on the above GIF when the cat breaks the mug.

Bugs elimination

• When using the controller, the wrong family could have the +1 in a rare case
• Bigger Hearts achievement's image was not correctly affiché (it had a typo since day one, I think haha)
• The bigger heart achievement was given too early
• The big laser now targets where the cat is aiming
• Fixed some achievements typo
• Added some padding in the cat descriptions so they don’t stick to the edge.
• One of the last evolutions of elastic was spawning the wrong color of elastic (one was blue instead of red)
• The big crab wasn't affected by the damage reduction

🆕 Additions

• New cat
• 3 new basic weapons
• Meta progression: Added 4 new levels for the bonus reroll

🔄 Changes

• The weapons of Kitty, Rocky, Tao, and Gyzmo now need to be unlocked by playing with these cats before becoming available for every cat (if you played with them already, they are already unlocked)
• Kittree is now unlocked after obtaining 8 cats, and Yeti takes its place at 6 cats.
• Unfortunately, I'm limited to 100 achievements on Steam, so I had to remove some to make room for new ones. If Steam allows me to exceed 100 in the future, everything will sync automatically—no worries!

🐛 Bug Fixes

• The crab that kept growing when picking up experience… it's gone! It didn't have the effect intended, it was pointless, so I removed it!
• Removed the message reminding you to use your Cat Coins when there’s nothing to buy!

🔮 Upcoming Updates Info

📌 High Priority

• Family system update: I’d like to introduce new mechanics, such as evolutions that combine two families at the final stage.
• More cats and weapons! 🐈⚔️

⏳ Later On

• Fixed the heart gift shot.
• Trails on experience should no longer pass through the screen.
• Achievements are now displayed when switching worlds instead of all at once at the end.
• Kittree is no longer automatically unlocked! Christmas is over!
• Added a confirmation prompt when starting a game if you have Catcoins and haven’t clicked on the upgrade menu.
• The sound and music sliders now have finer steps when using a controller.
• The sound slider now properly plays the test sound effect (previously, it only played it once).

The Christmas-themed update is here!

Fix

• Small typos in French for Kittree
• You unlock the hard mode when finishing the first time the normal mode instead of finishing the bargaining mode.

• Quality of Life improvements, including a revamped level-up screen. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44866873/3b64c6612bb6a7f976e2ec258357f2465b6eeeaf.gif
• Balancing adjustments, such as the update to the normal world boss.
• The Codex has been introduced, making it easier to understand how the weapon works. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44866873/3ed012be34b1f962e70622252f8c45a71bb8cc28.gif
• A brand-new world with a fresh system and replayability for the cats already in the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44866873/bb3a5adb0477d43df0f5ab9d7faf8b010007b6fd.gif
• 3 new cats, bringing the total number of weapons to 11, with 28 final evolutions! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44866873/91f9228dc3879734d076eb3e5bf2ae8a0d8515eb.png

Next update

What’s next? Here’s a glimpse:

• More classic cats—some of which are already designed! The ratio of special cats to classic ones is a bit unbalanced right now! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44866873/eb00d534eafb5d92e3a70fc38d181b1805d3ce94.png
• New weapons without new cats, simply increasing the total weapon pool in the game.
• Improving the early game by making weapons from the first three unlockable cats available earlier. This way, while discovering and testing new cats, you’ll also have the chance to try weapons you haven’t unlocked yet! Noxy is the first new weapon you can currently unlock, and it’s only available after finishing the game!
• Meta progression: Adding levels to existing options or introducing entirely new ones.
• New difficulty levels with more exciting options. The goal is to introduce more variety in runs (boss waves, new enemies, etc.). Currently limited to 5, but eventually, it will go up to 15, unlocking the final world: Serenity.
• More QoL improvements and balancing, including the addition of the Codex in-level and changes to weapon families!

A small but important patch

Minor Improvements and Fixes

• Music transitions are less abrupt
• Fixed an issue where music would disappear after winning a game
• Fixed an issue with music not starting properly when launching the game.

Meet the Codex

• The Codex is a brand-new feature designed to help you keep track of your weapons and their upgrades.
• Every weapon has at least two distinct upgrade paths, and the Codex is your go-to guide for exploring them all.
• Accessible from the main menu, the Codex shows all unlocked weapons and highlights the upgrade paths you haven’t completed yet.
• Detailed stats and bonuses for each weapon upgrade.

In-Game Upgrade Notifications

Cat Menu Enhancements

• The Cat Menu now tracks your progress with each cat!
