Hey guys, it’s been a moment since launch – I’ll write more about that soon – but here’s what I’ve already been working on due to player feedback.

Systematically clicking on everything has become the meta for Find Matt’s Cats. Some people like that, and some people don’t. So I added a slider option to limit the number of goals that are collectable at a time, which makes spam-clicking much less effective and rewards remembering silhouettes.

I’ve added a few more accessibility options that were requested. You can now disable the 2nd mouse cursor in spot-the-difference levels. You can disable the night-time and sunset lighting effects. And you can disable weather effects, like rain, fog, and others. These options let you skip some of the special gimmicks in some levels, but that’s okay if it’s causing discomfort.

Anyway, that’s a preview of what’s coming in the next update.

And finally, I’ve already started drawing more objects to add to the game…

Find Matt’s Cats is out now on Steam!

We’ve set the launch discount to 20% – and it’ll be the same in the upcoming Spring Sale, so you might as well dive in now.

Hey everyone!

The launch date for “Find Matt’s Cats” is March 16th on Steam/Windows. (other platforms later)

You can play the demo right now if you haven’t already, and it helps me with the algorithm if you add the game to your wishlist. The full game will cost $20, minus various discounts.

You may have noticed that the name is no longer “Matt’s Hidden Cats”.

Well, the term “Hidden Cats” was recently trademarked, so all the games using that term on Steam had to quickly scramble and rebrand. The new name has a very similar feel, fits into the same graphic design space, and abbreviates well to just “Matt’s Cats”. Randoms on Reddit liked it the most, so I hope it appeals to people who have never heard of the game before. It was a chaotic 48 hours getting that sorted out, but hopefully it doesn’t confuse any potential customers.

Anyway, Steam’s Next Fest starts today, so hopefully the game and its demo will get some exposure.

I’m gonna be emailing hundreds of influencers with Steam codes this week – so if you know of any who might at all be interested in a Flash/casual/puzzle/hidden-object PC game, please send their details via DM. I’m especially interested in those who make content for other languages, as the game currently supports 18:

English, French, German, Spanish (LatAm), Spanish (Spain), Portuguese (Br), Italian, Polish, Lithuanian, Czech, Finnish, Turkish, Russian, Korean, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Vietnamese.
