Wild Woods

Wild Woods is a couch co-op game full of action, teamwork and woodland critters. One to four players take on the role of brave little cats defending their wooden wagon on its way through a dangerous forest. Clever cooperation is key - their way is full of obstacles!

We'd love to hear your thoughts on some of the new features ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿค— [h1][u]What has happened since last time[/u][/h1] [h2][u]Emote System[/u]๐Ÿ’ฌ[/h2] We finished the emote wheel by adding some cute graphics and fine-tuning the mechanics. The wheel now has 5 emotes to communicate with other players. For example, to remind them to take care of the fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿชต And for more realistic cat-like communication [i](and because so many of you asked us to ๐Ÿ˜‰)[/i], the wheel also includes [b]the MEOW button[/b] ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿ’ฏ [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42290044/4f3f06479bddac3c4420d2434ecf7f283a81dc87.gif[/img] [h2][u]Player Upgrades[/u]โฌ†๏ธ๐Ÿ˜บ[/h2] We have completed 3 more player upgrades you can receive as a reward after an ambush, or purchase from the merchant or at the campfire.
