•
Added feedback to opening chests for others, so you know whom to thank

After July 14th the items will no longer be dropable.

So exchange, exchange, exchange and open your chests!

Nightwater Collab

A good friend of mine developed this game solo 🤯 . And i'm insanely happy that we will help him out as a "Publisher". You know what this means: More free items for you for checking his game out! Show him some love. 💖

You get the Nightwater Backpack for wishlisting the game (make sure to use the in-game banner) and the Nightwater Cat for playing the demo for 5min.

New supporter items/dlc coming!

This contains 3 skins and 3 hats. Bumble Kitten, Meowxolotl and the Sea Purrtle! This helps us to support the ongoing development and cosmetics creation, we want to Bongo as long as possible!

Get them each, or get them in the dlc bundle with a 20% launch discount! (and the usual 33% bundle discount) if you grab all them.

This will take another day or two to be approved by Valve. Sorry for the delay here, we fumbled by submitting it too late :D
I will update it ingame and in this post!

Patch notes:

•
Persistent lobby codes exist now

•
Fixes exchange bugs

•
Equipping now only highlights the item and no longer moves them to the top

•
Putting an item in the exchange greys them out instead of removing them

Hello, sorry for the long silence. Here is a bit of an update. But i keep it short.

First things first, because i know a lot of people are waiting: THERE WILL BE A LIMITED SUMMER EVENT SOON! Because of sickness this will take a bit longer.

Patch notes:

•
I now use another library that helps us/me to write WAAAAY less code for all the stuff. This took quite some time, so sorry for the long wait. But it should make everything a bit easier to implement in the future

•
Improved experience for the inventory, settings, multiplayer ui

•
Added lobby names and a lobby browser

Linux update will be out soon (for X11). Wayland will take more time.

We also have a indie collab that is running right now, grab some cool free skins!

Edit:
Sorry update was way messier than i expected. Make sure to update your game constantly. Fixing everything right now, and thx to everyone reporting bugs!

Much love

I will launch a limited summer event soon (Flores was sick so you have to wait just a little bit longer)! We are still working on all the items, but it will be really cool! In the meantime I want to celebrate some more indies again! Here are some gems for you to try:

•
STUNTBOOST is a fast paced fingerboarding game if you are looking for some arcady fun!

•
Mothkeep is a cute moth documenting game if you are looking for some cozy nature adventure

•
Moldrise is a crazy horror game ... honestly its tricky to describe. Just play it! (graphical warning!!)

To grab their exclusive items you need to check their demos out for 5min, just take a look if you like it.

(Sometimes it needs a bit until you get the items, close the other game (so Steam syncs your playtime) and wait a few minutes sometimes starting a Demo the second time can also help

Community Voting

I finally found a way to add community voting to the game! As some of you already saw was my first test.

We will from now on add different polls regarding certain decisions directly in the game.

I will respect the 27% and for them there won't be another community poll shown (until they enable it again in the settings). But overall i really appreciate all your feedback on this.

And yes it was ugly :D it was me bashing the assets together and not let Lars (who did the UI) do another pass here haha.

Additional Patch notes:

•
Added a language filter!! (shame on all of the bad kitties out there, i thought i didn't have to do this)

•
Various fixes regarding the AFK timer + chat

•
You can now disable the Discord integration (sorry :D i thought Discord respects your settings)

Future Patch:

Small info here: Iris and me, will try to get a small UI update out soon. We will try to make everything a bit more usable and not that cluttered. There was also an amazing idea in the Discord from "Manoni". They suggested a lovely idea how the new collection could look like!

Discord Integration

Additionally we just added the Discord SDK! You can now join lobbies directly via Discord!

You can also disable it in the settings.

Afk Warning

You can now see if people are inactive in your lobby (after 2 minutes of inactivity)

Tap. Tap. Repeat.

Big week. Tap Tap Loot is out now on Steam and we want to celebrate it with the crew behind The Farmer Was Replaced

I tested around a bit with something called "IPC" short for "inter process communication". That allows two programs to "talk" to each other.

And i really liked the game "The Farmer Was Replaced" and decided to reach out to them if we can create a small collab :D

The Typer Was Replaced

was born. :D

Now, you can automate both Bongo Cat and Tap Tap Loot. While your drone farms wheat, your adventurer fights monsters and your bongo cat taps along. You only need to use their new tap() function:

while True:
tap()

Update The Farmer Was Replaced, grab both games, and go :D

The Typer Was Replaced Sale

Thank you for the support since Bongo Cat launched

Meowtiplayer Chat

Something a lot of you requested...Meowtiplayer Chat is out now!

You can now send small messages in multiplayer lobbies. This is not moderated so please...behave my little kitties

Update after the event ended

First things first: The mode is now disabled again (so update the game) and the Blood Splatter Skin will be granted to everyone for the next 2 days (as a small sorry how bugged it was).

I know it was a mess (regarding lobbies stopped working etc), sorry for that, i think i know what happened but we couldn't test it ourselves.

No matter what, this was a small test for me how people perceive such "multiplayer game modes" as an OPTIONAL thing. I know it was forced on you, but we wanted to test it with everyone and i thought april fools was a great time to do that.

Do you want to see other "game modes" that you can select and enable in a lobby in the future? What type of game modes would you like to see?

I created this feedback thread so you can make your voices heard

Hi everyone, small update post:

Regional Pricing

I found a way to "enable" (aka me creating all the prices haha) regional pricing for all the items in the supporter shop:

Supporter Shop

This means you should either see the same price (for EUR/USD) or a significant decrease in price for some regions. This is something we already do with our own games but never found a way to do for the item shop in Steam. Now i found a possible solution.

Bear in mind please if there is ANY mistake that you see, i will open up a thread for you to report these issues. Because of how the calculation works it might be that i miscalculated something and it now costs 100x more (i really hope it doesn't, but i found no way to check it myself). So please report any issues with it here:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/3419430/discussions/0/806846367620395655/

Experimental Mac Support

I know a lot of you want to play with your friends (that are on Mac or Linux). With this update we will launch an experimental mac build that you can try out. Iris did some amazing work here, so thanks to her!

For all the Linux users: i'm on it. We are preparing a PC in our office so we can actively develop on it and test with it. I hope to get something ready soon

🥳 1 Year Anniversary 🥳

What

A

Year

It's hard to put it all into words...thanks to every single one of you that played the game, shared it with their friends, supported the shelter cats or talked about it. It's insane. 5.8 million players downloaded Bongo Cat and gave it a try. I could never imagine reaching so many players and bringing them joy. Thank YOU

Tap Tap Loot Demo just dropped!!!

This is a small cross collab post because we publish Tap Tap Loot. Thank you for everyone who participated in the playtest and giving an insane amount and valuable feedback! THANK YOU!
