🎲 Big one: Challenges!

🎯 You can enable a Challenge next to the mode select β€” once you've earned at least 2 Wins from victories.

πŸ’° Inside, you place a bet with those Wins: lose and your bet is gone, win and you get x2 back. Bet range: 1 to 10 Wins.

🎲 Then… the MAGIC DICE rolls a challenge for you β€” and the run begins.

🧩 There are already 30+ challenges: for example, limited shop purchases unlocked only at certain moments, blocked combos, various "blinds." Wins on top, plus Steam Achievements for completing them.

πŸš€ If you enjoy the mode β€” I already know where to take it next, heh.

πŸƒ Simplified Joker Skins

Settings now has a toggle for simplified Joker card skins. It's free β€” no Wins required. A lot of people asked for something to help parse the board faster and stay focused. Hope this helps.

By the way, the skins are 100% AI-Free. Zero AI was used in making them. Just hardcore Figma work πŸ’ͺ

✨ Other improvements

  • Polished headers

  • Reworked the shop: easier to read and (hopefully) more tempting to actually spend Wins

  • On top of 1.01, the Rules popup got another pass

  • Steam Cloud Save added β€” should work on both Windows and Mac

  • Small shop rebalancecard prices can no longer drop below 50% of base cost; base prices slightly adjusted to discourage "spam-buying"
  • AI is a bit tougher now (especially in Challenges!)

πŸ› Fixes

A bunch of small bug fixes: leaderboards, combos, saves, all that stuff.

πŸ“‹ Survey

I've added a button in Settings that opens a player survey. Only 4 questions, and I don't collect any personal data. If you have a moment β€” drop your feedback, it genuinely helps the game grow πŸ™
