Hey everyone! I just pushed an update last night that includes a bunch of bug fixes, including some for achievements that weren't unlocking, plus some optimizations to help the game run better. Here's the log:
+ Added an option to toggle flashing effects for players who may find power-up and event effects problematic.
+ Added code to optimize level loading and performance.
+ Added a missing UI sprite for the maple syrup bottle.
* Fixed a bug where the "Furiends Furever" achievement wasn't unlocking properly.
* Fixed bugs with navigating the "Edit Bindings" menu in the Options.
* Changed the camera sensitivity slider to allow for slower mouse movement.
* Balanced the timer and dollar values in the mewseum.
* Fixed a bug where completing an event under the effect of a power-up would freeze/crash the game.
* Fixed a couple bugs where multiple power-ups could be collected to permanently max out stats.
* Fixed various bugs with the procedural level creation data.
* Probably fixed some other bugs I forgot.
As always, please fill out a bug report form if you find any other issues. And if you're enjoying the game, please leave a review on the store page! The more positive reviews the game has the more fun stuff I can add to it. :) Thanks!

v0.1.4 Release Notes
The mewseum bonus level is taking a little bit longer than expected, so this is just a small update for now. Things are progressing though, so the mewseum should be in the next update!
v0.1.4 - Jan. 26, 2015
+ Added over 150 cat photos that will randomly be placed on the walls as posters or on surfaces as small frames.
+ Added a meow button (F key) that allows you to meow at things, pick up objects, and bite the scratching post. More functionality coming soon!

v0.1.3 Release Notes
Just a small update before the holidays. Let me know what you think about the new jumping mechanics!
v0.1.3 - Dec. 19, 2014
+ Added a cardboard box that transports you to the next house. When you complete all rooms in Normal Mode, it will appear in the bedroom for you to jump into. It is available at the start in Litterbox Mode.
+ Added a few more objects to knock over, including a soccer ball and some toiletries.
* Changed the jumping mechanic substantially. Now you can short hop by tapping the button and jump higher/longer by holding it. Looking up when jumping gives you a much smaller boost than before.
* Reworked the pseudorandom number generation code. It can now reliably generate levels based on seed values (similar to Minecraft or Binding of Isaac) and it’ll be augmented in the future.
* Fixed a ton of bugs with and improved the underlying procedural algorithms in anticipation of adding lots more content.
