Today we released a small update to Super Cat Herding: Totally Awesome Edition:
Fixed crash bug with lobby level that was frequently attributed to the nuclear bomb.
Clearly labeled the number keys as shortcut buttons for tools on the instructions image.
Reduced the likelihood of objects going further than expected (not purrfect, because hey, your super cats are going a million miles per hour, of course things they hit are going to rip the space-time continuum!).
Made the final level easier.
Rounded down goal percentage completion when at 99%, so that you don't see 100% when you're actually at 99.9%.
Level selection scroll is faster with mouse wheel.
Fixed incorrect narration stating to destroy 50%, when the text says 75%.
Happy super-cat herding!
Minor Bug Fixes
Today, we published a small bug fix update, fixing an issue with the food in the tutorial.
Happy herding and happy holidays!
Honey I Shrunk the….
Introducing the new Shrinker power!
What if everything was more “cat-sized?" We mean cat-sized couches and vending machines. Cat-sized pianos and furniture. Cat-sized TVs and … you get the idea.
Well now it can be! With the new Shrinker power, your cats can shrink the world around them!
You know what’s especially fun? Shrinking those annoying alien Goos into itsy-bitsy mini-Goos and stomping all over them. Especially in that fancy new Mars level with the neverending waves of Goos.... They had it coming.
Try out the new Shrinker power and see what all the shrinking fuss is about...
A whole new world... err level!
Holy Catday, is that a new level!?
Why yes, the kittens are going on the offensive! Journey to the Goos’ home world in your commandeered alien ship with your own pet nuke!
Public Service Announcement: Nukes do not make good pets. They tend to… um, you know, blow up!
Fight never ending armies of Goo Minions, Goo Kings (who knew they had multiple kings), and the all new Goo Troopers and Super Goo Troopers on the beautiful landscape of Cydonia as you guide your nuke to do what it does best. Do what your kittens to do what they do best...
Destroy!
Super powered kittens rule. #justkittenthings
Cling onto this!
Calling all herders!
We’re super excited to announce some fun new updates to Super Cat Herding: Totally Awesome Edition! Available right meow!
New Tool: Static Cling
Ever wanted to create your own static powered tornado? Do you like the idea of watching a whirlwind of destruction? Well, then we have something for you!
With the brand new Static Cling tool, your kittens will attract the stuff around them. Which will then whirl around them as they attract more stuff. And then the stuff will run into other stuff. And then explode (of course). And then it will attract some more. And then….you get the idea.
And yes, it’s super fun.
Updated enemies: Plasma Goos!
Your not-so-friendly alien goos seem to have acquired the ability to shoot plasma shots at your kittens. These plasma goos are “oh so annoying” and so much fun to destroy :)
We eat goos for breakfast. And pancakes. We like pancakes. You can probably tell that by now.
More Goos!
Emboldened by their new plasma shooting abilities, the goos are far more threatening and challenging than ever before! You’ll see them show up earlier in the game, and expect a more epic showdown between the super kittens and their greatest foes by the end!
Super powered kittens rule.

You'll be happy to hear we've given you more even more control over many aspects of the game!
New tool: Aperture Anti-Gravity Generator: Equip your kittens with the ability to turn off gravity on nearby objects! Combine it with the kitten cannon to make you feel like you are floating in space!

More hints to the overarching story!
Less lazy kittens. Sometimes they would stare into la-la land for a few seconds. What were they thinking about? We will never know...
More feedback! Sound effects and particle effects will guide your eyes and ears toward your next objective,
Better camera controls for desktop players! You may now edge scroll, and fly through props.
Improved VR user interface! The menu now attaches to your hand, like a painter's palette, if you so choose.
More optimizations! Level of detail for the win!
Happy herding!
Totally Pew-Pew Edition released!
We are proud to announce our first weekly-ish update, Super Cat Herding: Totally Pew-Pew Edition!
In this week's update, we are introducing a new pew-pew-themed tool! Can you find it? First player to send us a screenshot or video of them using the new tool will get a prize! Please send your submissions to the official ZoopTEK Facebook page.
As promised, we have been listening to your suggestions and working hard to make Super Cat Herding's experience more streamlined:
Greatly reduced time necessary to unlock your first few tools.
Added many cute cat toys near the player spawn on the first level, so you can find their first unlock even quicker.
New, more clear, objectives user interface. Pay attention to the objectives panel on the right side to find your next task!
Added arrow under cats to guide you toward objectives. Some players did not find all the crazy tools!
Abilities that attach tools to the kittens can now be directed without changing back to the laser pointer. For instance, you may now aim the kittens with the propeller cap by simply clicking in the environment after spawning the propeller cap on them.
Enhanced cat accuracy when jumping.
Decreased cat's initial impulse when jumping with maximum speed buffs, making them a little more sane!
Buffs do not reduce power as they near completion, effectively increasing all buffs' potency.
Increased time for performing quests.
Added a fan's song to the track list. Thanks Andrew Gee!
Rendering optimizations, for better frame rate on desktop and VR. These are sizable gains, though likely only noticeable for those with below minimum specifications.
Incomplete accomplishments on props will not "count against you" if the prop is destroyed; very noticeable once you start using fire-based abilities.
Reduced likelihood of a player from escaping the level.
