A new update should be out today (1.3.0) with the new Codex screen, you still need to figure out the character yourself but we hope this will help! :)

A new version of CatchaDiablos is out!

The main highlight is the new Accessibility Settings page, where you can change the starting speed of the crank and your starting health.

You can read the full changelog here: amano.games/game/catchad...

I don't think I've used the @play.date crank this much since Grand Tour Legends. CatchaDiablos by @amanogames.bsky.social is a difficult game, but with practice (and a bit luck) it's doable (I'm still a long way from 100%).

Can't say much about the game at the moment, beyond what has been announced. But we can say there is definitely a catching element to the game ;)
