- 1.0 Release Coming Soon - 23 December 2022
Hi all, First of all, before we get into this, I want to wish you all very happy and fun holidays! Next, let's keep it short and sweet. We are roughly 98% complete. We have been feature complete for a little while now, but before we can release we have a few remaining items to finish up, including but not limited to localization, balancing, and minor bug fixes. I am very excited to release the game, it's definitely been a bit longer journey to get here than first anticipated, but better than never finishing! They'll be another announcement in the near future with a more firm date, so look for that happening sometime very early in 2023. Jump into our Discord if you ever want to chat! https://discord.gg/NekoGhostJump, otherwise questions on the Steam Forums (but note, that I don't get notifications when new threads get started sadly). Anyway, see you all in 2023! -Victor Burgos Burgos Gam…

- Update 4 Hotfix 2 - 2 March 2022

- Update 4.1 - Hotfix - 2 March 2022

- Update 4 - Game Feel & Juice - 1 March 2022
Hi everyone! We’ve been hard at work since our last update (Update 3), and today we are happy to announce the first major update of Neko Ghost, Jump!. This update addresses feedback and ideas brought in from the community since our Early Access launch. It also brings in new content, new user interfaces in some areas, as well as fixes some bugs and technical issues. These are some of the new features you’ll find in this update: Ironcat, a new game mode They say cats have 9 lives. Well, in the Ironcat mode, that’s all you get to complete the game – 9 lives, and if you run out of them, it’s game over for you. Not for the faint of heart, this game mode was a Kickstarter stretch goal and it definitely needs some fine-tuning, but if you’re up for a challenge, how far can you make it? Revamped user interface (WIP) We are in the middle of designing a cleaner, easier-to-understand user interface…
- Update 3 - Meows Tweaked - 20 January 2022
Hi everyone! I hope you are well. Here is a small quality of life and bug fixes update. We have another coming soon that's a bit bigger with new content. As always, please consider leaving a review, those help us out so much! Thanks. Quality of Life Separated out cat sounds from things they were mixed with, resulting in still hearing other sounds even when cat sounds are disabled (from sound settings) Tweaked cat sounds to have more variance, lowered the overall volume by default Localization "ticker system" (work in progress) to allow for any length in localization wrapped up in text spot Added a warning that current localization is machine language and proper localization is coming soon. As a Casual Playstyle, turned off "Edge Stop" by default (it was causing confusion and most players seemed to turn it off eventually when they figured out they could anyway. Still good for those who d…

- Neko Ghost, Jump! Early Access Release - 11 January 2022
Welcome to Neko Ghost, Jump!'s Early Access. The demo hasn't been updated as of this post, so the experience between the demo and the Early Access version will be different. There should be easily 6+ hours of gameplay available to you as of launch day, even more so if you are going for speedrun times or trying to collect all paws in every level. This is just one step into the full release of the game. You will be seeing regular updates, which will include additional content, balancing, bug fixes, improved art, new story bits, and more. Your feedback and ideas will be instrumental during this time period. Please consider leaving your thoughts after trying out the game.

- True Live Stream With Developer - 27 August 2021
Okay, I hope you are all having a wonderful gamescom 2021 so far! Day 3... it's come so fast! Event Performance Sadly, my numbers for wishlists/follow haven't been that great, I am not doing any fake pre-recorded "Live streams" 24/7 and cheating the system on the broadcast schedule to keep "bumping up" on the list on the gamescom event page. Honestly, I don't have time for that sh*t. But also, when I am actually streaming, I rather talk and interact with people. I want them to tell me how cool or poopy my game is. Day 1 Stats 41 Visits 22 Wishlists Day 2 Stats 136 Visits 58 Wishlists Closing So, please join the stream (Steam-only) and chat with me! Ask me anything you want. Give me feedback on the demo if you've played it, or what you see while I am playing it. I will be watching the chat closely! Also please consider wishlisting and following the steam store page. https://store.steampo…
