New releases

BlackBerry version will come out in a few weeks, once I add more features.
Android version is planned for some time in February.

Play now on http://catheap.com/#square

New things:
– menu button now treats you with a bit more respect
– jobs are now on the JOBS screen
– buying cat traps, books, etc are now in the SHOP screen
– added Options screen with a possibility to turn off anonymous statistics
– added new icons – still kinda ugly, but they’re there in their place.
– lots of screens are empty! I’ll be working on putting things in them soon.
– when you add “#square” to the end of the URL, the format of the game will be square in the browser, too.
– optimized things
– fixed things

Coming up next: achievements and leaderboards! With more story, more possibilities, more books to read too.

Well, that went by fast.

Dev updates

I promised myself I would release a game – any game, however unfinished – mid-December.

As with almost any project, I started having tons of new ideas in the middle of game development – and they keep coming. There’s so many things I could add to the game.

But, promises are promises, so as unfinished as the game is, I’ll submit it to the Blackberry App World in a few hours. It’s a little scary and comforting at the same time.
