Cat gun overpowered
Doing a play through on hard and I found once I got the Cat Vacuum Gun on Area 69, I never needed to use any other weapon, due to it's high accuracy, essentially unlimited ammo and very high damage.
This was a bummer because I really felt the other weapons where all perfectly balanced and had a place in different situations.

Anyway I'd recommend re-evaluating the cat gun's balance to give me a reason not to use it for the rest of the episode. (or any other time I get it)

Anyway I love the game otherwise, it's clear Hyperstrange understands this genre well and what makes it great, I'm consistently impressed how well designed the game is!

I can totally see this weapon with 3 rechargeable cats instead of dozens of ammo pickups, so if you lost or forgot to return a cat, wait for a recharge. This will allow to keep it working the same way and avoid spamming at the same time.

That's some insightful feedback, and we will surely look into this issue more :)

Can I have a 1.0 balance build of this game? If you are gonna mess with every gun and enemy because somebody have a issue with them in some way or form. Now on hard difficulty the illuminati and the death star just tickles you with their beam attacks. After the post-launch patch. Hard feels like early 2000s medium diffuculty. I want to be brutalized and challenged when I play hard difficulty. Current hard mode should be called a man-child's "hard" or something similar in a true postal fashion.

I confirm that Cat Gun is overpowered after quite a long gameplay at Postal difficulty. It helped me hoard tons of power ups. I think its power is fine as it supposed to be the latest weapon to find but its high ammo capacity makes it overpowering. A smaller max ammo pool would keep things balanced and incline player to use the vacuum more often.

I agree. Easy fix is to drop the max ammo pool to about 10 or 20 max.
That means if you get trigger happy with the cats, you'll lose a few and won't be able to suck them back - depleting your ammo so you don't overuse the weapon.

holding onto too many cats should be like.... er ..... herding cats
