New UI and monthly Skins, Hats and Emotes!

New UI

First of all: we improved the UI and made it ready to be customizable :) Your UI/UX feedback is already partially implemented and I am open for more feedback (join our Discord!)

**New Cosmetics **

To supply you with new cosmetics, we are introducing the Paw Pass! Every month, the pass includes themed skins, hats, emotes, and cosmetic/emote chests with up to legendary rarity. This month's theme is Circus! There is also a paid version of the pass to support further development for upcoming features and improvements (there is a lot planned!). It includes more cosmetics, chests and emotes. The pass also drops Bongo Coins in both lanes, free and premium, 100 coins per lane. These coins can be used later to buy the premium version of the pass for 500 coins or cosmetics from the supporter items, so that you can earn it for free as well. You can also gift the pass ticket to friends by using Steam's trading feature

How to get the rewards

You can earn the Paw Pass rewards by just playing the game as you always do and reaching its milestones. When claiming a reward, no taps are consumed. The Paw Pass is not like any other pass, as the rewards are claimable forever and do not have a deadline. To automatically claim your free pass ticket, open Bongo Cat at least once a month.

Starting to play Bongo Cat after multiple passes have already been released is also not an issue, as you can always get a Paw Pass Ticket to unlock past passes.

The Pass can be accessed through the ticket button at the bottom of the inventory. To unlock any premium track, click on “Get Pass”, get the Paw Pass Ticket in the Steam Store and then redeem it in-game by clicking “Get Pass” again. 🎟️ If you’re not connected to the internet, you will not be able to redeem Paw Pass rewards, but your tap progress will still count towards the pass.

Events

Events like the summer event, lunar new year, april fools or the winter event will still happen. The pass (free and premium) will then also drop event chests to make collecting those easier :)

Other improvements:

• added a search bar to the Bongo Dex :o

• added a filtering and sorting window to the inventory (funnel icon)

• added a tutorial

• separated the settings into more structured sections

• added a unique rarity. These items are not droppable and are claimed through special events like the advent calendar.

• added an emote speed slider (multiplayer settings)

• added a “sync bobbing” option (settings > performance)

• clicking your own cat can be fine tuned, you can now turn off emotes, the patting itself and the “Meow Meow”

• supporter items are now marked as checked instead of vanishing

• option to not automatically rejoin a lobby on start-up (multiplayer settings)

• longer shortcut list (settings > other)

And more features to come!

So keep tapping along and claim your rewards!

**TLDR: **there will be new cosmetics every month!

Thank you for your Support <3
