Small Changes

  • The first level of Biff's Pub area is now the Pub Cellar.

  • When using the whistle on the last few dogs, the camera will focus on a dog.

  • Our Level Victory animation now has more juice!

  • The intro cinematic is now faster, and focuses on an area of the game when finished.

  • The Winter DLC icon is now faded when disabled.

  • Adjusted the colour for Story Mode icon.

  • Options menu tweaked.

  • Reduced the number of dog barks playing during the title theme.

  • Moved the flight path of a hot air balloon, so it doesn't appear on the title screen.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a game breaking issue when finding the magnifying glass too quickly in the tutorial.

  • The introductory dog dialogues will no longer appear in levels.

  • Stats UI would appear in levels after resetting the game, that's fixed!

  • Responsibility for the cooldown timing of the hover sound effect is now with FMOD.

  • Frequently used sounds (dog barks) are now tied to a single audio instance, so makes fewer duplicate sounds barks will appear!

  • Fixed the cats eyes hiss still playing when leaving a level.
