From balancing point I hope this will not encourage players just to spam round 0 guesses for XP farming. Given that win chances are slim and the fun of such a strategy is limited, it should still remain more attractive to try winning the game in a normal way.
fixedChangesSteam Sync Issues Fix : Fixed an issue, where the running game would lose the connection to Steam (and thus not sync stats and achievements etc. anymore). I hope this is the last time this game had issues with Steam and it's achievements.
