Hello all! I've been working hard to release version 1.12, and it's here! Now, I need to clear up some confusion. On my Scratch page, there are two Cat.io's. What's the difference? Well, the old Cat.io was made with PolyEngine 2.0, let's call that the legacy edition. It's a more, unstable and non-optimized version of the game. I decided to abandon the old version to work on the newest version, 1.12.1.
Added tons of optimizations!
LDM Settings fixed!
Shrink Screen Size added! This can make your game run faster if your screen size is the smallest.
Buttons are now rainbow if you hover over them.
New track! Mellonite.
Settings improved.
The player, after 2 years, can finally free-roam!
Fixed hitbox glitch.
Added transition effects to menus.
Game is now running on PolyEngine 2.1.1 for optimization purposes.
I am planning to add more possible loot drops from the loot boxes!
We are also still migrating our large pieces of code to Custom Blocks to optimize the game to make it playable on slower devices such as mobile devices (iOS and Android), and slower PCs and Laptops (Chromebooks or any other device that falls into this category). I am also planning to add support for Linux/Ubuntu devices as well! Most of our large pieces of code are already in Custom Blocks thanks to the new migration tools! We also removed half of our "forever" loops in order to optimize the game drastically.
Updates planned for v1.12.2
