Hey! Solitaire Battle now has a Steam page and demo, so go wishlist it!

Some small updates on the release for easier onboarding of new players:

V0.9.3c

• Minor UI updates for skills to simplify their explanation
• Weapons now only fill one inventory slot
• The tutorial now only advances when you end your turn
• Ink-related treasures now explain what the new skill type is for

v0.9.3

There are new skills and a new zone, but I've also been refining whats in the demo before adding too much more content.

The demo is now longer with more achievements to unlock, more progression systems, but less unlockable playable characters.

I hope you check it out.

General

• The demo now covers the three full zones a full game would have, but has less unlockable characters
• Added around 80 achievements (treasures) to be unlocked in the demo
• Skills that aren't Cyan/Red/Gray are unlocked progressively with each win
• Added a snowy background area
• Removed flipping a coin to decide the starting player side. The player character now always has the first turn
• Updated the end-game UI and some relevant statistics based on how you played
• Added a few new boards to play on
• Defeating the final boss at the same time as being defeated now counts as a win

Skills

• New Green skills related to healing
  • Slime’s attack is now Green, slightly stronger, and cools down after healing
  • ‘Growth’ – adds a ‘Potion’ card on turn end, lowers all skill cooldowns on healing
  • ‘Spring’ – adds a ‘Potion’ card after several card pickups in a turn, charges skills on healing
  • ‘Bloom’ – adds a ‘Potion’ card on lowering heat, lower Heat on healing
  • ‘Spirited’ – adds a ‘Potion’ card on suit match, gain +5% STR this turn on healing
  • ‘Regen’ – adds a ‘Potion’ card when taking a blocked hit, increases ‘Shield’ card timers on healing
• ‘Tenacious’ renamed to ‘Sturdy’, no longer adds a potion, and costs less SP to activate

• ‘Recharge’ now has no SP cost, instead has a cooldown of 2 turns
• ‘Endure’ is now Rare

• Added a visual effect when ‘Sapling’ re-adds a card to the board
• Wisp’s attack now randomly adds +1 to 3 Heat on attacking
