Hey everyone! We're back after 3 years with quite a big changelog to Katjepult after a burst of energy to work on the game again. For now these are just updates to the WebGL version but we'll update the Windows build on itch.io this week. We hope you enjoy all the new changes so far!

  • Purple Fish +25
• Re-adjusted all parallax layers as a part of the refactor.

Miscellaneous:
