  Major Optimization & QoL Update: Bug Fixes, Translation Overhaul, and Community

  Hello everyone!Over the last month, I’ve been hard at work tracking down bugs, analyzing performance data, and combing through your feedback. Thanks to your amazing reports, I’ve put together a massive update focused on stabilization, localization polish, and highly requested Quality of Life changes just in time for the upcoming Danmaku Festival!Here is what’s new in the latest version:⚙️ Performance & Stability (Big Focus!)Enormous Stability Improvements: Game stability has been drastically stepped up across the board. If you experienced performance degradation or instability after playing for an extended period, those issues should now be entirely a thing of the past!Long-Playtime Crashes Squashed: successfully tracked down and completely eradicated a memory leak. The game now correctly frees up memory, meaning it will run cool, fast, and perfectly stable no matter how many hours your survival run lasts.🎮 Gameplay & Quality of Life UpdatesMenu Interaction Overhaul (Most Requested!): You asked, now implemented! Menu interactions now require an explicit Action Button Press to interact. This prevents accidental selections and makes navigating the game UI much tighter and more deliberate.Magnet Logic Fixed: Resolved a frustrating bug where the item magnet would occasionally fail to trigger. It should now reliably pull in your hard-earned loot every single time.Collector Crystals Bug Squashed: Fixed a strange issue where the game would sometimes mistakenly spawn a second, completely empty collector crystal alongside the real one.🌐 Massive Translation OverhaulComplete structural and contextual sweep of the game's localization files to make the experience seamless for players worldwide:Complete Rework: All languages have been heavily optimized, polished, and reworked for better accuracy and immersion.Fixed AI/Context Blunders: Caught and fixed awkward literal translations (for example, fixing a title in Italian that accidentally translated Dawnbringer to "Baby Carrier" i...

  Hotfix Update: Listening to Your Feedback! Bug Fixes, Better XP, Cheaper Heroes

  Hi everyone! Thank you so much to everyone who has jumped into Catjinni since launch! I've been watching your gameplay and reading your feedback closely. Based on your reports, I've just pushed a major hotfix to smooth out the experience and fix a progression bug (Thank you Wiwi!). 🛠️ Patch Notes: Fixed a Progression Blocker: Resolved an issue where the final level (Furlin's Dungeon) could lock up again under certain conditions, even after successfully beating Catlantis. Your save files will automatically repair themselves upon starting the game! XP Curve & Balancing: Adjusted the difficulty scaling and XP curve. Leveling up should now feel much smoother and more rewarding, preventing the sudden "too hard" spikes in the early game. Cheaper Unlocks: Catheros are now cheaper to unlock! Enemy Pathing: Enemies should now be moving smoothly—no more getting lost on the map (hopefully!). More CC: The chances for more CC are now higher. Magnet Fixes: Got reports that the magnet would sometimes not draw items as intended. Now it should consistently draw in all that sweet XP. Typo Fix: "Sunglasses" is now correctly spelled. 😎 A massive thank you to the community (and a special shoutout to the players in the beta branch!) for helping track down these bugs so quickly. Your feedback is incredibly valuable to me as a solo indie dev. If you are enjoying the game and these new updates, please consider leaving a quick Steam review! Every single review tells Steam to show the game to more people, and it means the world to me. Please make sure your Steam client downloads the latest update before you play. Have fun, and let me know what you think of the new balancing! 🐱⚔️
