What's new in version 1.3.5?

Physics Glitch Fix
I finally found a computer that clearly showed physics glitches. So I was able to fix, test and confirm the solution this time.

New "No Paw" game mode
Occasionally, the player will play a "No Paw" level. It removes the paw paddle, uses a powered up ball and makes walls safe. There will be tile and enemy hazards instead.

New tutorial level
The new tutorial level is a "No Paw" level to allow new players to get used to the ball controls.

Basic dual stick controller support
The ball and paw paddle can each be controlled by the left and right circle stick on a dual stick controller. Menu and re-bind support will be added later.

In reviews and comments, players mentioned that they wanted power-ups in this game.

One reviewer mentioned the idea to change the ball power-ups based on different animals. I really loved that idea!

So now, whenever you rescue an animal, your paw and ball will transform into the species of the rescued animal. Each animal has a special ball power or paw power.

List of current power-ups are:

• The rabbit ball multiplies when in full health, whenever picking up music notes.
  
• The bunny ball moves and turns very fast and is immune to damage.
  
• The cat paw swipes and damages obstacles, enemies and also removes spiky bushes.
  
• The owl ball can fly over hedges and move freely across the entire level.
  
• The panda ball destroys and moves through most obstacles without bouncing.
  

Here's a little patch on request ^^

The game captures the mouse during gameplay, so it doesn't unintentionally leave the game window in the middle of the action.

The mouse is released in menus, including the in-game options menu when you press during gameplay.

I hope this is a useful and convenient feature ^^

Update for FoxPaww v1.2.1 "Challenge Mode"

With this update, I attempt to address most complaints I've read about bugs and frustrations in the game.

if I missed any bugs, please let me know. I will find and fix them in the next patch. Larger new features will be released in a later major update.

• Feature: Ball can be moved in 8 directions with rebindable WSAD movement keys
  
• Critical: Camera and ball are no longer allowed to leave the level area if that happens for any reason
  
• Improvement: Disabled options menu popping up when the mouse leaves the game area
  
• Improvement: Auto-skip level success, level failure and tutorial animations after a time-out
  
• Improvement: Replaced parallel timers with linear timers for improved stability and reliability
  

I've heard you and learned from you.

You wanted a more challenging game mode, so here it is! In addition to keeping the original Relax Mode, I present to you the new Challenge Mode! Are you ready for this?

New Features:

• The ball now has a life force in both Relax Mode and Challenge Mode. This makes both modes more forgiving when taking a hit.
  
• New enemies and obstacles will be able to damage the ball.
  
• When the ball is damaged, music notes with heal the ball.
  
• The ball moves and rotates faster.
  
• The edges of the paw paddle will curve the ball even more, making the paw paddle more accurate!
  
• Switch between Relax Mode and Challenge Mode at any time while keeping the same level progress. So you can switch modes depending on your mood. Play the game your way!
