🐾 The Catbots Are Armed: Blasters, Abilities & Catboxes!
Today's update is the biggest one yet for the catbots themselves. Every catbot now has a blaster, a unique ability of its own, and a brand new tech branch. And the walls have become something much better.
⚡ NEW: Every Catbot Has Its Own Ability
All 11 catbots now have their own unique ability. Press F (or LT on a controller) to fire it off. These abilities are huge: most of them cover about a quarter of the farm. Each one has its own cooldown and its own passive bonus, so the catbot you choose now really changes ho

🔫 Catbot Blasters
- Every catbot now carries a blaster, powered by your energy bar.
- Hold right mouse (X on a controller) to supercharge a big blast. The longer you charge, the bigger the boom.
- Every catbot can still repair. Now they can all shoot too.
🌳 New Tech Branch: Catbots
A whole new branch of the tech tree that makes you stronger personally:
- Blaster damage, fire rate, energy capacity and recharge
- Supercharge blast damage and
- Splash, acid burn and chain arc upgrades
- Catbot health, armor and regen
- Keystones: Arc Coil, Corrosive Core and Ion Shield
📦 Walls Are Now Catboxes💣 Sappers Scale Up
- Sapper damage now scales with tech as the match goes on, so late-game sappers hit harder. Keep your boxes and buildings repaired.
⚠️ Note on old saves
Any buildings that were stacked ave will be gone when you loadit, since Catboxes can't be stacked.
Go pick your catbot, find your combo, and hold the line! 🐱🤖
