New Game Plus (NG+) is here and features multiple gameplay modifiers and challenges - each of which can be activated alone or all together - for new playthroughs after you Beat The Game™.
So let's check out the new Steam image carousel tech!
Upon beating the game by fighting through all 8 levels of Catgirl Carnage, the player unlocks NG+. These modifiers can be used seperately, or have multiple selections to bring new gameplay challenges for game replayability. The more Challenges the player chooses, the higher the Score Bonus.
NG+ challenges are also recorded in the current playthrough save game for reloading, and are displayed at the Start or Load Game screen, along with the Score Bonus modifier.
The NG+ challenges are as follows:
House Of Fun: All enemies drop explosive funballs on death, and enemies which dropped them in standard game mode now drop more. +20% Score Bonus.
Test Of Strength: Both Players and Monsters do triple damage critical hits with every attack. +20% Score Bonus.
O Fortuna: No SWAG parcels spawn, instead there is a RNG for monsters dropping SWAG on death. Chance: 5% monsters, 10% elites, 50% Bosses, and a 1% chance of dropping a Nerve Gas Bomb. +20% Score Bonus.
The Harder They Come: All enemies spawn as elites, even Bosses. +20% Score Bonus.
Targeted For Termination: Every 9 minutes of gameplay a specialist team of Anti-Catgirl Assassins will spawn, 6 members with 6 unique special attacks. +20% Score Bonus.
Endless Mode: The game continues after level 8, cycling back through the levels with ever increasing difficulty.
And here is a video of it all in action.
And apart from NG+. there have also been some tweaks, buffs, nerfs and fixes.

New: Added NEW GAME + with 6 challanges mode.
New: Challanges mode is available after winning game for NG+.

New: THE HARDER THEY COME: All Monsters are elites.
