Now for the big news:

INTRODUCING THE 2.0 SATURDAY SPOOKTACULAR!

Every Saturday throughout the month of October, we'll be shining some candlelight on at least one new brand-new mechanic in our upcoming 2.0 update on all of our social media pages! Since today is the first Saturday of October, we're starting off with a bang!

SATURDAY SPOOKTACULAR #1: SCROLLING LEVELS & MULTIPLE KEYS

Levels can now be wider! And taller! No longer confined to one screen, we hope this expansion can offer a lot more variety and a lot more space to fit in unique and head-scratching puzzles! Puzzles that may involve another new mechanic... Multiple keys! Why look for one key when you can look for 2? Or 3? Or 4?! Doors will now also change based on the number of keys they still need to be opened!

New Key Art Coming Soon!

To coincide with the release of Update 2.0, we will be updating the current capsule art of the game with higher quality artwork! We hope you're looking forward to it! Here's a small tease of what to expect!
*(this art is a work-in-progress and as such may not be representative of the final piece)

That's all for now! We can't wait to show you more of the game later this month!

Cheers,
The Phantom Feline Development Team

Changes

• Patched build to address a recently discovered Unity security vulnerability .
  

Hello, everyone!

Happy 1 month of Phantom Feline! Thank you all so much for your continued positive feedback! It really means the world to the team how much people care for our game. The biggest thing that you've wanted is more game, and by golly, we're here to deliver.

Surprise! Update 2.0 will QUADRUPLE the size of the current game (and then some), for FREE!!

(This screenshot was taken from an in-development version of the game. Gameplay footage not final.)

We've been hard at work implementing new puzzle mechanics and harder puzzles just for you, and we're excited to announce that we will be including 24 more levels (with new music to boot), Steam achievements, and new challenge modes, all for FREE with the release of Update 2.0.

Exciting news for our players near Baltimore, Maryland!

If you live in or near Baltimore, MD, come stop by our booth at IGDA's Game Escape 2025 exhibition on Saturday, September 20th as early as 11 AM EST to not only meet the developers, but more importantly, play select levels from Update 2.0 before launch and gain access to our new Discord server before anyone else! Oh, that's right...!

A community Discord server is coming!

After Game Escape, our brand-new community Discord server will be opened up to the public! We'll make an announcement on our community page here once our Discord server is live. We'll also put any new social media linked in the game itself when Update 2.0 drops.

Thank you all once again for your super awesome feedback!

We hope you're looking forward to the new update.

Cheers,

The Phantom Feline Development Team

Thank you!!

Hi folks! Thank you so much for a great launch week! We could not have asked for a better start to our tiny little game. Big shout-out to all of our new community members.

We want to give back to our new players the best way we know how... More content!!

Upcoming Plans to Look Forward To

• A Steam Deck port is in the works! (Here is proof)

  [/*]

• We are planning for 16 new levels to be included in an upcoming free update, complete with new music and puzzle mechanics! This will be released at the same time as the Steam Deck port.

  [/*]

• We currently have no release window for this update. We will keep everyone in the loop about when we nail one down.

  [/*]

Phantom Feline... DX...?

Additionally, we may plan paid downloadable content for Phantom Feline under the tentative title of Phantom Feline DX. If you could take some time to fill out this survey, that would be wonderful and help both you and our development team out tremendously!

Our players voices matter!! (Fill out before August 10th 11:59pm ET)

https://forms.gle/gpviLx9KKThV9fSi8

The survey will not only determine if any localization work needs to be done, but also gauge interest for paid DLC and determine where to focus our social media outreach efforts, what other systems to consider porting to, and more!

What kind of paid content are you planning?

None of this is finalized and is subject to change, but we are considering some of the following additions:

• 50+ new levels, with new puzzle mechanics and music tracks to accompany those levels

  [/*]

• Cosmetic items such as additional color palettes and borders

  [/*]

• Steam achievements

  [/*]

• A level creator with online sharing capabilities

  [/*]

The team would love to hear your thoughts, so please fill out the survey linked above! Results close on the date printed above the link.

We'll be back with the results and what they mean for the game going forward soon after responses close.

Catch ya later,

The Phantom Feline Development Team
