Changes to the game
Besides new Cats and items, there has also been a number of changes made to the game that are not reflected in the demo.
One such example is the Boon/Bane system. After looking at feedback and rigorously playtesting it myself, I've made some tweaks to it. A Bane will now only affect you on the round you pick it (much like a "Boss" fight in a sense), whereas a Boon will stick with you throughout the rest of your run. In the previous system where you'd accumulate Banes, it felt too stifling having to constantly plan and play around all the restrictions you'd get. And as you get more Banes it only gets worse.
Of course, to compensate for the fact that a Bane will only affect you for one round it now has much greater impact than before. Each Boon/Bane option will still be randomly paired together so you'd have to weigh the pros and cons of your decision.
Other changes are much smaller in scale, so I won't be listing everything out. Thank you for your continued interest in Cats & Dice, if you'd like to be reminded when this releases, a wishlist and follow would be very much appreciated. Also feel free to join the community on discord!
Cheers,
Yong
