Added additional WASD/ZQSD controls for moving around

Initially, there was just one zoom: 2x. But 2x zoom looks very different on a 30-inch monitor vs. the small Steam Deck screen. The quickest solution then was to add a 3x zoom to the settings. This isn't the best solution, but it was quick and easy.

So I spent the last few weeks implementing a multi-step zoom so you no longer have to go to the settings to change to your desired zoom level. Because of Georgia's map size, the maximum zoom is limited to 4.25x. Any bigger and the game implodes.

I also added a few more technical improvements, making the image much more crisp when zooming in.

Will multi-step zoom come to the other games as well? Yes eventually. I'm considering spending some time this summer to bring all games to the same technical level. But I'll see how it goes! The good news is that the other games will have a much bigger max zoom since the map is smaller.

There is no army of developers behind Travellin Cats. It's just a freelance artist drawing the backgrounds and me doing everything else. Whenever I'm ahead of schedule with a new game, I implement features on the already-released games, like the night mode. So please be patient with me. :)

Welcome to the Dark Souls of Hidden Cat games! :D

Your eyes will bleed trying to find the last cat haha

Consider this entry in the series very much experimental. About a year ago, I asked my artist which country she wanted to draw, and she chose the often-overlooked Georgia. She was so excited about it that she asked if she could make the map larger because she couldn't possibly fit everything she wanted to draw in the standard size of the other game.

And oh boy, making the map larger, she did. FOUR TIMES LARGER. But we still only hid 100 cats in there, which makes it much more difficult than the other games in the series.

But fear not, it might be more difficult, but you also have much more to look at. There are tons of tiny details. I still discover new ones every now and then.

Best of luck out there.
