All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

A MASSIVE NEW UPDATE IS HERE!

Things are about to get CHAOTIC!

This is one of our biggest updates yet, packed with new challenges, unpredictable events, new enemies, mysterious encounters, powerful abilities, character customisation, pets, and much more.

And that's not all...

🎯 NEW DYNAMIC CHALLENGES

10 brand-new challenges can now appear as you explore the worlds.

Collect coins. Hunt down a lost cat. Stop a thief. Race to the finish. Stand completely still. Survive the chaos.

Every challenge is different, and completing them earns Challenge Coins that can increase your chances of encountering even more challenges.

🌪️ RANDOM LEVEL MODIFIERS

You never know what you're going to get.

Main levels can now trigger one of 10 random modifiers, completely changing the way you play.

Double Down
Moon Walk
Slime Storm
Aftershock
Noir Night
Neon Dream
Raining Frogs
The Heatwave
Polar Opposite
Meteor Shower

Some runs will be normal.

Others... absolutely will not be.

🟢 NEW SLIMES & ENCOUNTERS

A whole new collection of slime variants has arrived!

🥷 Ninja Slimes
🏜️ Sand Slimes
👽 Alien Slimes
❄️ Ice Slimes
🌋 Lava Slimes
☣️ Acid Slimes

Keep an eye out for balloon slimes too. They're tougher, they're packed with coins, and they're not exactly common...

We've also added random NPC encounters throughout the worlds, featuring dozens of characters and over 100 unique lines of dialogue.

You never know who you're going to bump into.

💥 UNLEASH YOUR ULTIMATE

The Elder has something new for you...

Unlock the Ultimate Move and unleash a devastating barrage of projectiles.

The attack scales with your total upgrades, meaning the stronger you become, the more ridiculous it gets.

👻 THE NINE LIVES TRIALS

Something strange is hiding within World 5.

The Nine Lives Trials are waiting.

Face ghostly versions of enemies, twisted versions of familiar mechanics, and challenges designed to test everything you've learned.

Think you know the worlds?

Think again.

🎨 CUSTOMISE YOUR CHARACTER

Your character can now be made truly your own.

Choose from:

8 Base Colours
4 Unlockable Colours
4 Animated Premium Colours

You can also give your character their own name, with your chosen name appearing on your save file.

🐾 MORE PETS!

The Pet Shop has received some love too!

Select and dismiss your pets, equip new companions, and bring the adorable Pink Fluffy and Blue Chilly minigame pets along for the ride.

Because every adventure is better with a pet.

🎈 A BRAND-NEW DEMO

Want to try the game?

We've added a brand-new Demo featuring a custom level combining elements from Worlds 1 and 2.

And it comes with six random modifiers.

Every run can be different.

🐱💥 MORE CHAOS. MORE CHALLENGES. MORE TO DISCOVER.

There's never been more to explore.

Jump into the new challenges, discover new enemies, experiment with modifiers, find the hidden Trials, unlock your Ultimate, customise your character, and see what surprises are waiting around the corner.

The update is live now!

Good luck, cat. You're going to need it. 😈
