To any artist, even the end of the year can be useful to introduce new tricks to the public. And to this circus cat, this year ends with new acts, costumes and enhancements to the big feline spectacle.

Highlights

New songs

Three brand new maps were made to this update and are available as soon the game is opened. Skate through the stage in Cute N Roll, fly holding to aerial straps in No Cats Sky and balance different things using your feet, I mean, paws in Work Balance.

\n

Expanding the Wardrobe

Along with more color options to the skin, nose and eyes customization, eight new clothes were added for you to dress up your can.

\n

Notes With More Gravitas

Thanks to players feedback, the notes animation was changed to help identifying when each one of them appears on screen and to have a higher contrast with the environment. However, if you still have problems, try using the High Contrast Mode option in the settings menu, inside the Gameplay tab.

\n

Who Will Be The Leader?

All songs got Leaderboards, which one split based on the difficulty level. Just play any song and see how well your score compares to the other players. Each board can be open after selecting the difficulty level of the map, in the option below the Start! button.

\n

Also in this update

• Enhancements executing the applause sounds during the 16x multiplier, improving the synchronization to the songs beat.

  [/*]

• When picking a piece of clothing in the customization screen, the name of the attire being dressed by the cat is shown.

  [/*]

• The title screen now shows a warning telling the cats not to do anything presented in the game.

  [/*]

• And other smaller fixes and internal enhancements.

Steam Achievements and Statistics

With the most recent update, the Achievements system was implemented in the game, with 13 challenges to complete. Depending on your game progress, some of those may be unlocked the very next time you open the game after the update.

Other changes and meaningful enhancements are:

Latency System

Automatic selection of the buttons was solved, making it possible for the screen to be used with the keyboard or controllers without using a mouse.

The video sync animation was changed to be smoother and get closer to how the arrows work during the gameplay.

The explanation texts are cleaerer to understand (I hope).

UI

The selected button gets bigger, making it easier to find it in screens with only two buttons.

When you hit an arrow, an animated little paw appears to highlight the positive result.

The title screen is no longer static, its animated now.

The circus life has its secrets, tho...

At last, its good to warn you that the title screen also may gatekeep something. You never know what you can unlock there ;)

Following the objective of implementing quality of life features, the version 1.1.0 adds latency settings to the game, along with video settings.

Update Notes

Latency Adjustments

In the settings menu, it\'s possible to adjust the latency values, that is the delay between the game processing in your device and what you see (video latency) or hear (audio latency). You can adjust the values manually or use the latency assistant, that will do the calculation based on your feedback.

For players using Bluetooth accessories, the experience should be more in sync now.

Video Settings

Now you can adjust the game\'s Anti-Aliasing MSAA and VSync.

A few days ago, AnimaCircus was finally launched with 20 songs made specially for the game. The developer (me) is very happy to finally be able to share the circus show where a cat does everything.

\n

But as like any other spectacle, it can keep improving.

\n

In the following weeks, the game will get important updates, including enhancements in some of the acts, quality of life additions and Steam integration features, like the Achivements system.

\n

Quick reminder that the game will remain with a 10% discount to celebrate its launch for one week, so if you didnt get AnimaCircus yet, thats your chance.

\n

And a brief spoiler: soon Ill be bringing news about the soundtrack.
