I think there should be secret cheat codes for secret cat skins (not any different stats) or scrapped cats in general (different stats, maybe bengal or prussian blue), maybe even munchkin (as a joke cat cheat code with worst stats).
And if you do end up implementing the retro-style secret codes, can you add a secret skin or cat for my cat Nugget? She has jade eyes, grayish light-brown and sleek black stripes, she's mainly a crossbreed between a Tabby and a Bengal, with a little bit of Prussian Blue. She has a scar on her left ear and is a very feisty cat, she fights with every cat that she comes across. It'd make my day to see my senior cat on a racing cat game! I've got a picture of her (before the scar) if you'd like it for reference.
Edit: Discord is "thegamesquad" and i could help for ideas, I'd love to help with the development of this game. One example i had an idea of is a Cat Cafe, racing on bar counters and whatnot, being the "Baby Park" of the game with 8 laps and a small oval track
Edit 2: ow i just burned my tongue
Edit 3, Suggestions Galore: another idea for a suggestion, how about a large mansion track with a cat gym as a possible "Rainbow Ride" style track with guided jumps and such. Speaking of jumps, One thing that i find inconsistent are the jumps in the game, they're very hard to predict and not flip over on. Another track idea could be a Laser tag arena as a sort of a Tron-esque Vaporwave aesthetic track with a vaporwave cat skin reward to match for getting 1st place on hard. Last and final track idea i have is a large Cat Show track that acts as the game's "Wario Stadium" with fire hoop hazards and stage hazards that are unique to this stage like packing peanuts (equivalent of mario kart's lightning/banana but as a stage hazard) and/or chained dogs (equivalent of mario kart's piranha plant stage hazard), and two or three cheat code ideas for you, "CATNIP" a cheat code that can be entered in singleplayer, or alternatively in multiplayer, a percentage of people have to enter the cheatcode for the catnip gamemode. This gamemode would make all cats in the room or race act as if it were mariokart's 200cc, but with much harder control and steering and a catnip decal overlayed onscreen as a sort of a "chaotic mode". Second cheat code idea is another gamemode idea, "HISSFIT", which as before, applied in singleplayer immediately and multiplayer with a vote. This gamemode would function similarly to Balloon Battle from mario kart, and would have a special map to go along with it. There will be a winner declared by how many "Hits" someone got in total, or it will be team mode, graded by team average, which can be a variant of the original code as "TEAMHISS". These could also alternatively be implemented as a gamemode.
Hello!
I appreciate all of the great ideas, but just remember I am just one guy doing this in his spare time :'D I will definitely take your feedback on-board, especially putting your cat into the game. If you send me a DM to my Twitter, send a pic of your cat and I will try and put them into the game for you.
Thanks!
Hi!! Just an update on this:
I created a cheat code system and put your cat into the game :)
All you have to do (from the next update) is input the code "SOLOMON2207" and it will replace the skin for the Tabby cat with one that looks like Nugget. I posted some images in the reply to your Twitter message.
