- 🛠️ Optimisation Patch – Getting Things in Shape - 13 April 2025
Hi there! After receiving a bug report (thank you!), we discovered that our game wasn’t as optimized as it should’ve been. So we rolled up our sleeves and got to work. This was a necessary fix that touched some core parts of the game. As a result: The build size is much smaller now The game runs more smoothly – no more freezing on Steam Deck! Performance is improved, with lower resource usage across the board With these issues out of the way, we can finally move forward with something we've promised before: proper gamepad support is up next 🎮 Important: We recommend uninstalling the game and installing it again instead of just downloading the update. This helps make sure no old files get in the way of the improved build. If you run into any issues, have suggestions, or just want to say hi, you can always reach us at [email protected]. Thanks for sticking with us 💛 Possum Riot Team

Hey everyone! It's been just a few days since Eyes That Hypnotise launched last Friday, and we want to take a moment to say thank you. Reading your reviews and seeing you enjoy the game truly warms our hearts—that's what keeps us going and makes all the hard work worth it. 💜 We've been carefully reading your feedback, and one of the most common requests we've seen is more levels. We hear you! Initially, we planned to add special event chapters for Halloween and Christmas, but since so many of you want more puzzles, we're going to bring additional chapters sooner.

- Feature Reveal: Two Drag Modes - 27 November 2024
Hello everyone! 👋 We’ve been quietly working behind the scenes with a small group of testers, gathering insights on how to improve the gameplay experience. One area we focused on was moving animals around, and we’re thrilled to announce two drag modes tailored to different playstyles and preferences! 🎉 1. Standard Drag-and-Drop Mode This is the classic experience you know and love — click and hold to drag your animals into position and release to drop them. 2. Alternative Drag Mode In this mode, there’s no need to hold! Simply click to grab an animal, move it wherever you like, and click again to release. This option is especially handy for players using touchpads — our chef’s recommendation! 👨🍳 You’ll be able to toggle between these two modes seamlessly in the settings menu, so you can find the style that feels perfect for you! This update will debut in the demo release on Decembe…
