Catlateral Damage, the quirky, first-feline swatter that emerged from a game jam, cleared its Kickstarter funding goal of $40,000 with 12 days left and now is considering adding bonus levels and, potentially, a PlayStation 4 version.

Developer Chris Chung announced the stretch goals when the game cleared its target on Thursday. Bonus levels (including a supermarket and a museum) will be added at $48,000 and $56,000, and if the project hits $100,000, Chung will build a PS4 edition, to be released six months after Catlateral Damage arrives on Steam and Ouya. All backers would be able to choose whichever version they prefer.

In Catlateral Damage, the player is a cat and the goal is to knock over as many household items as possible in the alotted time, racking up a higher score as the destruction piles on. A browser-based demo is playable here.

Star Trek: The Next Generation ended its run on TV in 1994 after seven acclaimed seasons, but what if it hadn't? Parody Twitter account  "TNG Season 8 (@TNG_S8)" has been imagining new, ever-sillier storylines for the never-made eighth season since October 2011. Now, it's being turned into an illustrated guidebook all unto its own, with the official licensing from the franchise.

"Star Trek: The Next Generation: Warped, An Engaging Guide to the Never-Aired 8th Season," is written by Mike McMahan, who runs the Twitter account, with illustrations from Joel Watson (creator of webcomic HiJINKS ENSUE) and Jason Ho (illustrator of comics for The Simpsons and Futurama). It's due out March 3, 2015, and is said to contain everything from episode descriptions to new aliens to "behind-the-scenes" accounts of the show's "troubled production," according to StarTrek.com. Until then, we've rounded up some of our favorite fictional storylines from @TNG_S8 below.
