Fix Epilogue - Bragging Rights #15 (Market Mayhem) so that it is achievable! (Thanks for the report :)
Added and changed wording to provide better clarity for Defector Detector, Teeming Tower and Keyboard Khaos. Added 29 bragging rights levels to the Epilogue Act. Steam Achievements can be earned in the Free To Play version: your progress is shared between the two versions, so don
Thank you for playing!
[1] Adding Steam Achievements to a game is a pain in the ass, and doing it twice (to the free and this version) while I got other things I want to do wasn't in the cards, so given that the free version is identical it seemed like the best use of time to do it there :)

Critically[1] acclaimed Suspicious Shuffle bursts out of Early Access, polished and ready to find it's place in your heart. I know, I can hardly believe it myself but it's true! You're reading it's announcement post right now! Which means you're someone with impeccable taste, if I do say so myself.
Grab your friends (or not!)[2] and get in here!
[1] I consider myself my harshest critic
[2] Fully playable solo, although be warned... It's quite a bit more difficult. Turns out two (or three, four, five...) heads are better than one!

While I finish up promo material for the out-of-EA announcement/celebration, a few days ago I thought I'd throw out the latest and greatest in Shuffle technology for all EA to enjoy. Incase you were wondering what the update was... It's a doozy! :)
[New] Honestly, too many things. A big pass on graphics, UI, sound and gameplay touched almost everything.
Woo!

This is what I've (and hopefully, you've) been waiting for, Act 3 is finally done. Really stretching my technical abilities to bring some of these to life! Now that gameplay is all sorted, next up is do a proper visual/audio sweep and see what touch ups my programmer brain can muster up given everything I've learnt over the past 5 months... Going to make a new trailer and then we're going to hit the fabled 1.0...
Chain Reaction - CoOp Match 'Em Up Dungeon Delvers - Topdown Dungeon Crawler Jammed Airlines - SFCave anyone? Rhythm Kitchen - Cook up grub to the beat Thrust Fall - Gravity simulator Traffic Director - 'Spinning Plates' traffic management Suspicious Activity - There's an imposter among us...
[New] Dueling Class: PvP Minigame - Who can manage their key sequence the quickest?
[Improvement] Attention Seekers should be a bit more obvious.
[Fix] Many small fixes around the place. I didn't commit message these very well.

v0.7.1 - 20 Dec 2022
Allows further customisation of minigames if you're looking to really tweak the experience to your preferences!
Patch Commentary: With the previous Story update and this one we've reached a big milestone for Shuffle, woo! These updates came together faster than I thought they would due to some prior foundational work, and it's a stones throw away from being what I would consider "functionally complete". Next update is the biggest yet with Act 3, although it will be some time before that comes to fruition :) There's never been a better time to Shuffle it up in preparation!
Almost all scenarios have full support for all their variables to be configured. Any hidden settings will change with difficulty so it should be possible to do a wide variety of combos.
[Potentially Fixed] Some Star-shaped lights would become Box-shaped in some cases.

For this update, the main focus was on bringing more unique variety to the current offerings, also fills out the Versus minigame selection UI grid perfectly which is a big plus (and may or may not have been what I was aiming for...)
Band Practice - Play those funky tunes. Crafty Configurations - Zero in on the correct pattern. They're crafty though... Fast Fingers - Pitting reaction times against one another. Memory Minder - Remembering things is hard: the game. Spinning Stars - An absolute classic dodge 'em arena. You'll know it when you see it.
[Improvement] Point Defence: Enemies will now do less damage depending on their remaining health.
[Polish] Point Defence: Make enemy queue a bit more spiffy.
[Polish] Teeming Tower: Make the lobby a little more cozy.
[Fix] Potential timing issue with readying up in some cases.
[Fix] Game got a little confused what to do when swapping between Free Play and Levels in some cases.
