Cat Goes Fishing News

There was a series of minor patches this week. These are mostly bug fixes and performance enhancements for the "Caverns and Corals" patch, as well as some balance changes. No new fish. But there is a new rod upgrade to check out!


- Added the "Flick" rod upgrade.

- Updated the catalog entry for "Bombat".
- Fixed the "Bombat Explosion" crash-bug.
- Fixed the "Sliding Cave Shark" bug.
- Fixed the "Flipping Maw" bug.
- Fixed a bug with Dark Boat: lightbulb timer no longer doubled; battery drain still halved.
- Fixed a bug preventing players from unlocking "Deep Sonar" if they caught ALL fish before completing 30 quests. (Wut.)
- Fixed a bug causing the game to sometimes crash when a Bonefish follows a fish that was following an Anglerfish.
- (Performance): Reduced the range of interactions for all new large fish.
- (Performance): Dumbed down a few of the new large fish; they change targets less frequently.
- Visual: removed controller button sprites until controller is fully supported.
- Swordfish begins fighting sooner.
- Swaller value increased.
- Josie value increased dramatically.
- Josie and Swaller stamina reduced slightly.
- Josie, Gupper, Tik Tik, and Gorbon fatigue-rate dramatically increased.

Go further than ever before with two new boats! Or go deeper. Below the ocean floor are the caverns, a vast network of caves supporting a variety of habitats. Utilize the new "sinker" rod upgrade and the "deep sonar" tool to scour the depths!


Discover the Skrimp, Bombat, or Chompy among dozens of new fish. There are two new huge fish lurking in the sea, including the collosal Cave Shark. There are even rumors of giant Nightfish hiding in the caverns.


No more boring quests! The quest system has been updated to prioritize rarer fish once you've gotten a handle on things. Quests to catch multiple fish of the same type are now rarer.


- "Grind" hat effect now actually works.
- "Kardinal" fail-cast bug fixed.
- "Tinkerer", "Ballcap", "Pernicus", and "Lens Cap" effect rephrased.
- "Boater" and "Fez" move speed reduction reduced. (Faster.)
- "Quester's Beret" reward bonus increased to 100% from 25%.
- "Seer" no longer disables quest rewards.
- "Nightfall" now produced shorter storms more frequently.


- Max level raised to 100.
- Max cash increased to $1 billion.
- "Huge Hook" buffed: hooked fish can be eaten whole.
- Single "Repel" upgrades are now MUCH more effective.
- "Gauge" buffed.
- "Improved crank" nerfed.
- Most rod upgrades are visualized.
- Maw won't fly away any more. Probably.
- Many fish behaviors tweaked slightly.
- Fixed a bug causing fish to become bones sometimes.
- Fixed a bug causing some save files to become corrupted.
- May have conquered the elusive invisible fish bug.
- UI improvements.

Cat has a new toy: the sinker.

Below the dark depths live curious creatures who call the caverns home. They've spent centuries slumbering in darkness, and some would assume stay, but Cat has other plans.

Discover 30+ new fish, two new boats, and more in this upcoming patch.

More information coming soon.
