Demo Patch Notes v0.3.0

New Ability Reroll!

Place on a card to reroll for a new random question, currently only costs 1 token so use it before it gets nerfed :)

Ability refunds

You will now keep abilities if answered correctly, lose them only if incorrect.
To balance this, the ability costs have been increased accordingly. In the full release you will be able to ugprade abilities to make them cheaper and/or improve their effectiveness.

Random ability

Spend 3 tokens to receive a random ability, very handy for those scenarios where you have locked all the columns and only have 3 or 4 tokens.

Other ability changes

• Abilities can only be used once per card
• Cannot use any abilities on Rainbow Reaper card

Score Feed

In addition to the current consecutive bonus, the new score feed gives you a nice easy reference for your recent attempts. Important in future as the score will form the currency system!

Features & Updates

• Settings menu (music/sfx volume, turn off tips, video settings)
• Added 2 new categories General Knowledge & Technology
• 100 new trivia questions
• Consistent difficulty distribution for each round (13 difficulty 1, 10 difficulty 2, 6 difficulty 3, 1 rainbow reaper).
• Attempted questions will no longer repeat until all others within that difficulty have been attempted (please note, Demo only includes limited sample of ~600 questions so you will still get repeats after a while)
• Complete rework of the save and stats system for future stability
• Sneak peak of the Career Progress / Deckbuilder screen (locked in Demo)
• Implemented custom cursor
• Menu transitions have been improved

Bug Fixes

• Score calculation issue on quick answers (thanks franiis)
• Corrected a number of trivia questions

Thank you to all of the YT reviews so far, it really helps us improve the game and get the word out there.
