- Brand new stage! - 8 October 2021
Bloody Paws: Passion Unleashed version 0.3.2!!! A brand new stage has been added to the game: the inside of the castle! This stage was not a part of the original 1990 game, and its exclusive to Bloody Paws: Passion Unleashed. It acts as the last level of the game, and consists of two sub-levels. Other notable updates: - Witches and invisible men can only hurt you during their attacks, not by merely walking into you. - Shuffled stage order: now the first "resist the attack" scene ("avoid the balls") takes place in stage 3 - Added detail in backgrounds of level 1 - Tweaked/updated movement of witch - Fixed scroll glitch in stages The Village and The Gargoyles Frankie is sitting this one out and will return in the next update!
- Untitled - 11 August 2021
Bloody Paws: Passion Unleashed version 0.3.1!!! A new enemy, the witch, has been added to the game! The witch was originally meant to be included in the original Bloody Paws game back in 1990, but wasn't due to memory limitations. Thanks to the original sketches found by Juan Carlos, the witch has been finally included in Bloody Paws, over 30 years later!! She retains all the moves that she would have had in the original release. In this remake, you can find her in The Village stage. Other notable updates: - Bloody's basic combo has been upgraded and now includes a new attack: a Double Lariat! - The bonus stage now has a brand new music track - Bloody's "bullet" has a shorter reach - Added more detail to background in stage 1
