Story:

Installation:

2. Run the main.exe file.

Linux:
1. Make sure you have both Python 2.7 and the Pygame library installed
2. Unrar the CATS_lin archive (preferably in a new folder)
3. Run the main.py file (by typing "python main.py" (without quotation marks) in your terminal, for instance)

Mac:
I don't really know, to be fair. Always stayed away from Apple products. Something similar to the Linux method will probably work, if you really want to try.

Bugfix #1: Game-crashing bug in bossfight *should* be gone.

Other notes and things:
- The game is beatable. I'm not sure about hardmode, but the boss fight is more than possible (not literally, but like... ugh, you get the point )
