Hey Cat Crew! 😸
I’ve just rolled out a major Beta Update for Replicat!
This update is currently only available on the "Replicat Beta" branch. If you want to join the playtest, hop into Replicat Discord and apply for access!
This Beta version is where I experiment with fresh mechanics, cards, and curio. So expect to see some half-baked ideas and temporary art as I iterate and playtest. Your feedback is super important right now!
You can now lock shop items to save them for future visits!
Just drag and drop your favorite items into the locking circle, and they’ll stick around for your next trip to the shop. (But beware: their price will go up by +25% each round you keep them locked!)
These new curios interact with the item locking mechanic in fun ways:
Skeleton Key:
If you lock an item for 5 rounds, it’s automatically added to your deck!
Music Vault:
Lets you lock two shop items at the same time.
Fruitful Tree:
Locked items get 10% cheaper each round they’re locked!
After a few runs, it seems like locking items makes the game a bit easier. To balance things out, once you lock an item, you can’t get rid of it unless you buy it. This keeps the mechanic from being too powerful, but I’m open to your suggestions!
What do you think about the new item locking system and curios?
Is it too easy, too hard, or just right?
Let us know in the comments or over on Discord!
Thanks for helping us make Replicat the best jazzy cat deckbuilder out there!
Happy matching, and may the meows be ever in your favor! 🐾
