Version 20 has a new cuter look for the player character (meow :3) and she can now appear with or without her helmet! First person animations also got interpolation, so they should be a lot smoother now. There are also new animations for throwing bombs and clawing things.
There is one more complete level: E4L4: Meows From The Deep that takes place in an underwater base with a geothermal power plant in the basement. There are some little tweaks on couple other levels too.
Menus got some reorganizing and 2 player splitscreen games can be split vertically (new default). If you're playing a 2 player game and you've got 2 displays, you can play the game in a window that is stretched to both displays! HUD elements can now be turned on/off individually and a toggle for the whole hud (for taking some hudless screenshots).
MeowGun also got a... psychedelic/acid/techno/trance SoundTrack! There are total 14 tracks for levels and 2 for intermission & title screen. Made some new ones and remastered a bunch of my old tracks for use in the game. There is also a Jukebox in the game if you just want to listen to them or change a track while playing a level.
Note: loading a saved game will restart the assigned level track, also loading a save from an older version may require a level restart or using the Jukebox to have music play in the level.
