Players were experiencing crashes by putting 2 "hand" cards on on top of each other. This interaction is never needed to beat any levels but once done could get players stuck in a loop of crashing due to the replay system which plays moves you submitted before exiting the game. Below are the updates that come from this issue.

• Fixed crash related to "hand" cards being placed on top of each other.
• Add option on level start which skips the replay feature.
• Allow players to interrupt the replay system by pressing directional buttons.

Fixes

Saving progress

There was an issue that prevented users from updating a level with a better score.

• The UI now will reflect the new star count and progress will be saved correctly.
• Completing a level will also show the accurate star count on the results screen.

Hint system

The hint system was not working as expected. The hint system will show a player the next best move to make. A hint will be given after a player has been inactive for a few seconds. The hints will show more frequently if you are struggling to complete a level.

• Added a default key-binding for hints.
• There has been a binding added to the settings menu.
• The hint text won't appear after completing a level, let the joker dance and enjoy it's victory!

After months of work the Pokaban demo is now available on all platforms! It includes 20 levels to try out. I am looking for any feedback or bugs reports but also hoping everyone can have a fun and relaxing experience playing this poker puzzle game.
