ːsteamhappyː Thanks for the feedback, everyone!

Applied important security updates.

Fixed music bug (the gameplay screen track was mistakenly placed in the sound effects audiogroup instead of the music one, causing multiple issues — an organization error).
The settings button now correctly appears on the screen after winning a round.
Fixed a visual artifact on the blender selection screen.
Now, when exiting and re-entering in the middle of a round, the remaining score will be saved. Previously, it unintentionally reset.
Made small adjustments to the overall OST gain.
The number of turns played in a round now updates correctly.
Fixed the rarity text of mods on the blender results screen.
Improved the description of the Profit Seeker Card.
Fixed tooltips in the pocket viewer.
Outlay consumable corrected, it now works properly.
Added more left and right click sounds. Empty spots are now less noticeable, as some buttons previously lacked sound. A few effects may still be missing, but it's much better now.
Created new logic to prevent click sounds from overlapping and playing multiple times simultaneously.
Compressed several files, optimized texture pages, and reduced image sizes. The compressed game now weighs 18MB, this is a great achievement.

Main Menu visuals reworked!
The scenery now includes clouds, the sky is darker, the horizon is flat, the road is better paved, Pixi was redrawn from scratch, and the Elite Tower is now more faithful to the canon (at night, it has a crystal-like appearance). The result is beautiful — I’m much happier with the main menu’s aesthetics. I’d wanted to do this for a long time. I also optimized image sizes: the menu went from 6MB down to 1MB.

• Minor bug fixes

We're bringing all the Cat Warriors and Zombies to celebrate the holidays with you:

Hope you'll enjoy the latest update with Cat Guardian during the festival!

• Challenge Mode Rework: 25 levels with tighter pacing and more intense battles

• Guardian Upgrade System: 6 unique Guardians, each with 3 growth tiers, making your defenders stronger than ever

• Item Card Overhaul: Boosted production, higher firepower, doubled gold cap, and advanced economic strategies

• Randomized Zombies: Every battle is different—no more fixed patterns, always adapt and overcome

• Difficulty Tiers: 5 modes from Beginner to Inferno, tailored for all players from newcomers to masters

 

To celebrate, we’re offering a limited-time 20% discount — a small but sincere thank-you to all Guardians. It’s the perfect time to jump back in or start fresh!

 

 

We also want to hear from you:

• Which difficulty level will you take on first?

• If you could design a “Mid-Autumn Festival card,” what ability would it have?

 

🐾 The free Demo has been updated to the latest version—

Once again, thank you all for your unwavering support.

We remain committed to our long-term vision and will continue delivering exciting gaming experiences for everyone!ːsteamhappyː
