Hello!!! We just received an update from Valve regarding Steam Deck compatibility. We pass on all points!! Except for text size. So, we only have a "Playable" certification. This'll now be displayed as such on the Steam store and your Steam Deck if you have one. This is acceptable, however, we are keen to aim for Verified status. The easiest way to fix this will be to embiggen some text on the UI, which is what we'll be doing as the game is refined before taken out of Early Access. We'll make some updates and try again... @w@

What else is happening??

The next updates will focus on defining the difficulties a little better. There is a subset of players who can't play as intensely as expected, so the Casual difficulty is going to be enhanced with a longer combo timeout, etcetera. Hardcore players sticking on Legend will have a slightly reduced combo timer. I'm currently workshopping a new character, and a new stage is being prepared for Kincha. New special puzzle piece types will be introduced to freshen up the gameplay; watch out! One final music piece is being composed, and a standalone Steam soundtrack will be released for those who want it...!! The album artwork is ready, I hope you like it when it is released.. @w@

On the subject of Trading Cards and Point Store items

Some of you have asked about this. We have to wait for Steam to enable this feature for us before this is possible. All content available via this means will be safe-for-work, because Steam says so. But, I think we can take the opportunity to add more cute kemo artwork to your profile @w@

On the subject of Steam Achievements

We're waiting for our game engine branch to become stable before we can start using more Steamworks features. [hr][/hr] Anyway, thank you for playing Kemopop!!
