Repeated intro

Hey Kitty lovers! ⭐ Your constructive feedback this week was gold. I’ve shipped several much-needed features, and the game already feels dramatically better. It only took a few days of work, but the changes are huge, and I’m genuinely enthusiastic about where the game is now—and even more excited about what’s next. I hope you love the changes, and I can’t wait to keep building this with you!

What’s New in the Update 💌

Smarter Camera

I’ve rebuilt the camera so you can rotate and zoom smoothly, making it easier to frame cozy moments and read the scene at a glance. I plan to add panning controls next so you can explore the levels more freely.

More Puzzle Info

Puzzles now communicate much better. You’ll see area indicators and arrows highlighting the cats involved, so it’s clearer what to do and why it matters. It should make the game less frustrating without losing the satisfaction of solving things yourself.

Responsive Behavior

Cats have more animations and feel more alive. Even better, their behavior now changes based on whether their needs are met. By the way the mad kitty is now my favorite animation! Your choices now visibly affect their mood, making it easier to see your progress—and yes, everything’s more satisfying! Of course, there’s a lot more to come, with diverse variations and cute quirks.

Various small improvements and bug fixes

I’ll spare you the deep dive, but I fixed a fatal error that could crash the game and rolled out a bunch of small improvements across UI, controls, and performance. For the full breakdown, check the complete patch notes!

What's next? 🐾

I hear you: Haven’s not where it needs to be yet and I want to fix that fast. My top priority is a full overhaul with a bigger system that connects tightly to the puzzles. Got ideas? Jump into Discord or leave a comment here! Other than that, here’s what I’ll tackle over the coming weeks, in no set order.

  • More levels of course, with more diverse settings

  • More cats !

  • Better optimization

  • Loading screens

  • Better tutorial

  • Better completion screen
