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.

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 there!
Multiplayer is currently not enabled in the demo. Sorry about that! I will enable it when the game is near completion. I will add a tooltip in the next patch to make sure people know this.
Really glad you enjoyed the other parts of the game! I am definitely refining the tracks and adding more cats so you should follow this page to stay tuned into the semi-regular dev diaries and patch notes.
Hello!
I have reduced the volume of skidding/screeching and have tweaked some physics values that should make it harder (not impossible) to spin out. I have also further limited the speed of AI cats on the Easy difficulty.
These changes will be available in the next update!

Hello! I'm really sorry that you're encountering this error.
Please note that Zoomies is a Windows game and has no official support for linux at this time. It should work fine on a native Windows machine. I'm not knowledgeable of the linux architecture so I can only provide limited support.
Do other games work when you run them in the same way? I am building Zoomies using the 2021.3.5f1 version of the Unity engine and am not using any special libraries.
Maybe it would be worth contacting itch.io support about the wine error when running using the app? Perhaps they can help you more than I can. I am really sorry that I cannot be of more help.

Hello! I'm sorry that you are encountering an issue! Please describe the error you are encountering.
Are you using the itch.io app to play?
Actually, I just now got it uploaded. You can now download using the itch app :) let me know if you have any issues
Hello!
Yes unfortunately Zoomies is not currently compatible with the itch app. I have never used the app before so am currently researching the app to make it work with the next versions of Zoomies, so it will be compatible in the future.
For now, if you want to play Zoomies please download the latest build from the store page, extract the files to anywhere you'd like, then click the .exe to play!
Hmm the difficulty bonus bug is definitely concerning! I will definitely look into that and fix it for the next update. As for the controls - this is something I’m constantly refining with each update so I’ll take your comments on board and will make some changes :) thank you for the feedback
Thanks for the feedback! I'll see if I can add something like that :) cheers
Hello! I am currently working on the next update :)
I will write a new dev diary this weekend which will talk more about what is coming up next!
Hello! Thanks a lot for playing :)
The current demo version 0.9.1 includes some physics improvements so it's easier to drift. Just something to consider in-case you ever revisit the game. Stay tuned for more cats and tracks!
Thank you for the generous contribution! The latest update has made the cats a lot easier to control so less spinning out!
Thanks for playing and I hope you return soon :)
Hi! I am super glad you like the game! I noticed you played the 'old' version of Zoomies. If you download the new demo, it contains new graphics, tracks and more!
Thanks for playing !
Hello! Yes I’m unsure of how the app works but redownloading from the store page should definitely work. I’ll look into getting the app myself and trying to get it to work on there!
Let me know what you think!
Thanks so much for the video! I really appreciate that :) yes it looks like there's some collision that shouldn't be there. I'll make sure to remove that in the next update. Good find!
I will try and beat your time :P it might take me a while since you've set a really good time I am struggling to beat it!
Thank you for playing!
Hello! Thanks for playing!
Interesting bug you found with the cat stats. Will have to make sure I fix that :)
Also there is a new demo build available which includes better drift physics so that it's easier to play with a keyboard. Please let me know what you think!
Thank you again
I'm glad you like the new update! And yes that is exactly what the sparks mean :)
I'm still trying to figure out how to teach the player about the sparks, so maybe I'll make a tutorial race for first-time players.
Ooh okay I'll see if I can buff the other cats then if the high-turning cats are too OP. Thanks so much for all of the feedback!
Thank you :)
Hello! I've literally just uploaded a new demo build right now which includes some slight drift physics tweaks. Maybe try on that build and see what you think? In any case I'll make a note to reduce the braking power when drifting so thanks very much for that :)
Really happy you like the game! Cheers!
Hi there! Thanks so much for playing, loved your video (and your cat ears!)
The drifting physics are definitely a little janky and it's something I'm working hard to improve. It's quite a difficult thing to get right for sure :)
I'm releasing an update to the demo soon which should include a slight improvement to the drift physics, specifically it helps you more to retain a drift rather than letting you spin out (though it is definitely still possible if you drift hard enough xD)
Thanks again!
Thank you so much! Lovely to hear that :)
My favourite is the Persian, but also excited to reveal the new cats that will come with the full game!
Hi there!
Do you mean the blur effect on the main menu? This was intentional as it doesn't really affect the game performance all that much as the blur is only present in the main menu. I can add it as a toggle off for the very low quality settings though.
Awesome vid, dude! Thanks so much!
I still need to improve the cat stability when they go over ramps and jumps, so I'll make sure to provide some love and care to this area for the full game!
Cheers!
Thank you for your kind words!
Yes I recommend playing the game using a gamepad or xbox controller, but I will try and make the keyboard input a bit smoother for the full game!
Hi there
I have no idea, but Zoomies should run on most modern computers. There is a 'Quality' setting in the game which you can set lower if you are having issues with performance.
The demo is free so you should try it and find out :)
Hello!
Yes it is only the demo right now, as it says on the store page the game is still in development. The demo was uploaded less than a week ago and includes many improvements over the older demo.
There are many Youtube videos of the old demo (which was the build used for the game jam) which looks a lot different. I can make this demo available for you, if you'd prefer that?
Thank you!
Thank you I will think about it :)
Hi there, are you having issues with the game?
<3 thank you
Thanks for your kind words :)
Hello! Most of the art is from the Synty Studios POLYGON asset packs.

Hi there. Feel free to DM me on my twitter: https://twitter.com/ScarletGames_
Hello! I'm super happy you enjoyed the game! Thanks so much for your support~
The full game will feature gamepad support, as well as taking advantage of both WASD and Arrow Keys for movement! I'll be updating the demo soon which should include these features so stay tuned :)
Hi there! Thank you for your kind comments :)
I am just one guy developing this on my own so the full game will not be ready until 2024. But please keep following the development until then !
Hey! This game is actually inspired by the Cat Driving mode from the popular Timesplitters series. I don't think I've heard of the game you're talking about but it sounds cool!
