Perfect for assembling flushes, straight flushes, and royal flusheβ¦
Hello, dear 34 people! As someone wise once said: "It ain't much, but it's honest work." Jokes aside β thank you. Every single one of you. I made Joker Madness solo, in GameMaker, and to me each of your purchases isn't a "sale" β it's a specific person who looked at my game about jokers and said "okay, let me try this." That means a lot. Extra respect to those who played more than 30 minutes, aβ¦

Hey! I've decided to take the demo down β it has too many bugs and hasn't matched the current state of the game for a while now.

Hey everyone! Here's something I wasn't sure I'd pull off in time: PvP mode will be included in the Early Access launch on April 14. You'll be able to duel a real person β same jokers, same chaos, but a completely different experience. When the player across the table sees your hand and makes their own plans β it's a whole new level of tension. Fair warning: PvP will be in beta . Bugs, disconneβ¦

Hey everyone! I know many of you have been struggling with the game's performance (and frankly, there's still a lot of work to be done).

Secondly, the new build is already live, and it includes: - Fixed major FPS drops during mid-to-late game (heavy calculations were running every frame inside the draw loop β rookie mistake,β¦
