Should I get this or the Catalog version?
I also found that the Catalog version doesn't have that update and is more expensive?
Any explanation?
Regards,
Hi! Thanks for the question 😊
The versions on Catalog and itch.io should be identical. I wrote about the price difference in this post:

A great little game! Lot’s of fun for little money, thanks for this! :)
After playing for a bit there’s just two minor points of feedback I have:
Thanks a lot for the feedback :)
These are great Ideas! I'll try to put these in as soon as I get some time. Thanks!
After some more play I have another small suggestion/request. Would you be willing to add an option to the pause menu to invert the display? :) In some lighting conditions I find white sprites on a dark background a bit difficult to see.
Yeah, that should be no problem :) The update is already in the works. I was away for the weekend, but I'll continue working on it now.
Awesome, thank you so much! :)
