v0.9.8🎯 Core Update: Soul Effect System

This update introduces the brand-new Cyber Soul Effect System, making card effect feedback more intuitive and satisfying than ever!

✨ New Features

Cyber Soul Following Effects

  • When a card triggers an effect, a Cyber Soul will fly out from the card's position

  • The soul will first float upward, then track and fly toward the corresponding stat display area

  • Different effects feature unique colors:

    • 🔵 Blue Soul → Chips (Add Chips)

    • 🔴 Red Soul → Mult (Add Mult)

    • 🟡 Golden Soul → X Mult (Multiply Mult)

    • 💛 Golden Soul → Coins (Earn Coins)

  • Souls feature electronic trail effects during flight for a more cyberpunk feel

Visual Improvements

  • The float-out-then-suck-in flight path is more intuitive than simple number jumps

  • Tail-accelerated suction effect provides a stronger sense of impact

  • Color-coded souls and stat areas make effects instantly recognizable

🎮 Feature Explanation

Players can now clearly see:

  • What effect each card triggers (Add Chips? Add Mult? X Mult?)

  • Which stat area the effect flies toward

  • The visual feedback linking effects to stat changes

Compared to Balatro's pure number animations, CyberJoker's Cyber Soul System makes every action feel more immersive and responsive.


🔧 Optimizations & Fixes

  • Optimized soul effect performance

  • Fixed delay issues with certain card effect feedback

  • Adjusted flight path smoothness


📝 Dev Notes

"We want every card play to feel like a 'ritual.' The Cyber Soul is not just a visual garnish — it's the feedback bridge between the player and the game. Now, every card you play will send a digital soul flying to where it belongs."


Next Steps

  • More cyberpunk-style card effects

  • Legendary card-exclusive soul effects

  • Endless Mode stat feedback optimization
