Bubbles the Cat Version 1.0.0.16

Update 1.0.0.16 adds controller vibration and visual accessibility features to the game, as well as fixing some minor bugs.

Controller Vibration

If you're playing Bubbles the Cat with a controller with vibration functionality, you should notice this is now supported for most in-game actions!

  • Controller vibration can be turned on or off in Options -> Control Options. By default, it's enabled.
  • Please note that this feature is only active whilst using a controller to play the game - this is to prevent you from jumping out of your seat when your controller vibrates and you're not expecting it!

Visual Accessibility Options

These options can be found in Options -> Display Options -> Visual Accessibility Options. These can all be changed mid gameplay without requiring you to back out to the main menu and take effect as soon as you select them.

  • Change Laser Colour - Should aid players with colourblindness.
  • Screen Flashes - Although used sparingly and never with a quick repeating pattern, some players may wish to eliminate all screen flashes entirely.
  • Background Detail - Colourblindness or being distracted by animated elements may make the game challenging to play for some players. Consider using this option to reduce background detail.
  • Food Animation - Some players may find the flashing cat food animation distracting. This will completely disable this animation without impacting gameplay.

Difficulty Balancing

A small selection of levels very early in the game have had their par times adjusted to be slightly easier to attain - these were a little out of step with the overall difficulty progression.

  • World 1-8 par time increased from 27.5 to 29 seconds.
  • World 1-10 par time increased from 31.5 to 33 seconds.
  • World 1-11 par time increased from 12 to 12.5 seconds.

Bug Fixes

  • Slightly widened trenches in World X-9 to make these less nightmarish to use.
  • Fixed an issue where pursuing spike walls were playing their sound at full volume. This now varies based on your distance from the wall.
  • It is now possible to use the keyboard to back out of the controller rebind screen.
