* [FEATURE] If you can't complete a recurring task for legitimate reasons, you can now choose to 'Skip' on the completion requirement. This option is available by tapping the task or by a long press on the task from the checklist. * [FEATURE] Forgetful forgiveness! If you really did a task or were legitimately unable to mark it complete on the previous day, you can now select 'additional options' when receiving the Forgetful card(s). There, you get the ability to forgive 2 missed tasks on a rolling 7 day period. * [FEATURE] Swiping the checklist left/right shows the next/previous day as an alternative to tapping the calendar * [FEATURE] In combat, if you release a non-targeting card to put it back into you hand, it now smoothly animates instead of instantly snapping * [FEATURE] New Easy Mode! This mode adds 7 HP after each combat. Can be selected during intro or in the Preferences * [FEATURE] Intro sequence tweaks including the option to go directly to the map instead of through the task tutorial first * [FEATURE] Map tutorial split into two segments to streamline the path to combat * [FEATURE] First playthrough now costs 0 AP to move on the map. The intention is to help new players get a feel for the game to decide if it's their jam before making tasks. * [UI UPDATE] The Act IV vendors were moved up a bit since they could slightly clip the nav bar * [UX UPDATE] Reverting the app to be FREE. Would have been nice to make app development full time, but since it isn't covering my bills, I'll just go back to the salt mines and let everyone have it for free. * [UX UPDATE] Pulled the registration screen and am defaulting all new accounts to anonymous accounts * [UX UPDATE] In the first-open experience, there was an A/B test running which had a mini-combat at the start, but that's being pulled despite no conclusive outcomes because, without the registration screen, it's too jarring to be dropped right into combat. * [TEXT FIX] All text was audited and corrected for minor spelling and grammatical errors. * [BUG FIX] the Act IV first row of nodes was getting stuck as an unintended consequence of a map-related bug from the last version * [BUG FIX] Playing Recharge was displaying the incorrect snackbar regarding block preservation * [BUG FIX] The Dupe hack could be pulled from the original and duped card if the player used two fingerprints * [BUG FIX] Removing a the duplicate of a card with the Dupe hack now treats it exactly like removing the original

Also, the copy is updated so it's clear you get an extra option and not an additional reward * [BUG FIX] It was possible during a bad connection to finish an act and not have the map regenerate, which put the player right before the next act's boss after winning. * [BUG FIX] It was possible to not have your current position on the map be considered on the 'frontier' and get stuck * [BUG FIX] The debuff to reduce motivation at the end of the turn wasn't stacking correctly in the active effects tray (from Psyched Up card). * [BUG FIX] Ghosted cards were actually causing additional card draw instead of just not counting toward card draw * [BUG FIX] Neosteel Fists now reduce damage from Irradiated

* [FEATURE] Overhauled the main questline dialogue and added a Resistance Trust currency which grows with enemy kills and advances the story. Migration for existing accounts works, but I recommend using the 'Reset Progress' button in the Progress page to get the full experience. * [FEATURE] Added a starter Insight to the main quest line (pick 1 of 3) * [FEATURE] Separated the Reinforced Arms/Legs upgrades into two and allow users to select the Economy-tier in the Progress section. * [FEATURE] Added a scripted X-Caliber fight to the start of the game which is 1 turn long to add flavor to the story about how the player initially dies. This is currently something being A/B tested cause I'm not sure if it's too long * [UX UPDATE] Dramatically shortened the intro dialogue with Claude and removed the first starter hardware decision (still exists on future runs) * [UI UPDATE] Tapping the AP bar widget now brings up an overlay which provides details about it. * [UX FIX] The hardware achievements for Economy Arms and Legs are now accessible after getting the upgraded gear by simply selecting the lower-tier hardware in the Progress section's details for the main quest * [UI FIX] As Willow's text is animating, the highlighted words now display in color as they are fading in instead of waiting for all the text to complete before changing colors * [UI FIX] The Energy notation "{E}" used in the description of the Zip Hack wasn't rendering on the progress details overlay for the main quest. * [BUG FIX] There was a sub 400ms period where, immediately after beating the game, but before tapping the final button, it was possible to create a broken state by closing the app. * [BUG FIX] When playing Psyched Up, a second debuff for losing motivation at the end of the turn was appearing that was purely cosmetic * [BUG FIX] While dragging cards, a lagging shadow for the Energy value could sometimes be seen * [BUG FIX] If the app was restarted after certain simple event decisions were made, but after a 3s pause on the outcome screen, the event could restart (despite the player already having the outcome) * [BUG FIX] Some of the overlays with hardware were displaying the original passive effects prior to the Mk tier system.

Tank and Juggernaut were changed from 150 and 200hp to 125 and 150, respectively * [UI FIX] VTOL Viceroy's 'Soaring up High' buff was inaccurate when it said it can't take damage. Not it says it can't be attacked, which is more accurate. * [UI FIX] The Loop Circuit Hack was showing an animation of discarding to the discard pile instead of the draw pile (which is what this hack does) * [UI FIX] I am Speed's effect was working, but if played multiple times, the buff wasn't stacking correctly * [UI FIX] If the player switched to the gear/codex pages and tried to close the popup nav right after pressing 'proceed' after beating a boss, the nav menu would stick * [BUG FIX] During the death terminal animation, the 'Resume Existence' button couldn't be tapped until fully faded-in * [BUG FIX] It was possible to move hi-tech upgrades while in combat * [BUG FIX] It was possible to restart the app after having used the Overshield activated effect for block, then use it again * [BUG FIX] Even though they were still functional in combat, if the player restarted mid-combat, some buffs wouldn't appear to persisted * [BUG FIX] If the player ended their turn after killing all but 1 of the horrors and a horror was still doing a death animation, the last one would flee and combat would be stuck till restart * [BUG FIX] It was possible to get multiple 'Find Chrome' rewards if the player went back and forth between the reward option/confirmation and the gear page * [BUG FIX] The achievements for small and large decks weren't triggering correctly

Whoops! * [BUG FIX] Neosteel Jaws was showing its passive as a buff in the active effects tray

* [FEATURE] Added the Irradiator hardware, two new cards, the Irradiated debuff effect, an Irradiated hp loss preview, and an Irradiated animation when applying the effect, updated the codex, and added an achievement * [BUG FIX] Enraged Blast's text description for the reduction in Block was scaling with Motivation/Reflexes, but shouldn't have been.

- Hard Reset Premium now in UI - Better multi-slot hardware visibility - Fixed: back button, rewards scroll, Shatter anim, Slow Perception anim - Clanklings Karate Chop: 6-8 dmg; Reinforced auto-block: 2/3/4/5; Boot's Breach→+5 block - 15+ bug fixes: boss AP, map exploits, Compress+Shatter, Delete anim, event & hardware issues

* [FEATURE] Added Spidey Sense achievement for having 4 Spider Form hardwares equipped at the same time. This makes the conditions for the unlock clear and shows the current status as well as causing a notification card to appear on earning it. * [DEV FEATURE] Added firebase_crashlytics to be ready to diagnose any app crashes better * [UI UPDATE] The achievement icons in the Progress section of the app now show more-tailored icons than the generic trophy for all. Not perfect though cause of repeats, but better. * [UI UPDATE] Changed "Component" term to "Fragment" for Hi-tech and swapped the partially-filled full upgrade widget to a single chevron * [BUG FIX] In the last release, the fix for making enemy active effects tappable had the side effect of making it so you had to drag non-targeting cards extremely low in order to not play them. * [BUG FIX] Last version, the snackbar which indicates you can't move Hacks while in combat was introduced, but I didn't make combat the exception, which meant you could try dragging a card from the Hack area and get the snackbar inappropriately. * [BUG FIX] Tapping quickly during the intro to advance the text quickly could cause a soft lock or freeze * [BUG FIX] The password reset mechanism was trying to use a branded link, but this was causing issues so the easy solution was just to use the functional default * [BUG FIX] Account deletion ostensibly worked, but some irrelevant docs were left (wetware cards). Also, this now requires users to enter their pw for safety. * [BUG FIX] A race condition with simultaneous state syncing or connection issues could cause state to get reverted * [BUG FIX] It was possible to achieve a state where the player loses to the Act I boss, quits the app, then on next open, starts the next run on Act II * [BUG FIX] Deleting completed tasks would destroy the AP earned through them, but now that's not an issue

Now, it wraps. * [UI FIX] On tablet devices, cards in combat were scaling with screen width and covering essential UI. Cards scale with screen height now and do not cover the essential UI so it's usable. (note: Tablet UI will still look wonky for now) * [UI FIX] Limb Bash's effect 'Deal 5 damage to self' was updated to 'Lose 5 HP' since it bypasses block intentionally and self damage is intercepted by block * [BALANCE] By popular demand, Enraged Blast is now back to 0 energy to play. To balance the cloning effect, however, I've added 'Lose 4 Block'. This has no negative effect if you have no Block so the order in which you play cards matters more. * [BUG FIX] When setting a 'due on' day for weekly flex tasks, the set day was ignored and the day the task was created was incorrectly used as the reset day. * [BUG FIX] Floating text showing negative AP values would be triggered when trying to decrement a task which is already at 0. No AP changed, but the text would still appear. * [BUG FIX] Boss fights were not decrementing the Forgetful combat counter which determines when they are automatically removed from the player's deck * [BUG FIX] If using multiple devices and receiving a Forgetful card on open, all devices would create a Forgetful (creating duplicates). This is now synced to firebase state instead of local. * [BUG FIX] The player's active effects details overlay was only appearing with direct taps on buffs/debuffs instead of the entire area * [BUG FIX] Tapping the enemy's active effects tray wasn't bringing up the overlay (unless you tapped in this 2px space at the top margin of it). Now you can tap anywhere inside to easily see the enemy's buffs/debuffs * [BUG FIX] Resetting the game after/during the final text animation after beating the game could cause a corrupted state with a stuck UI * [BUG FIX] When gaining Spider Form hardware from the SpiderBot event, replacing hardware with upgrades was not returning those upgrades to storage

* [FEATURE] Reduced graphics mode: eliminates all card floating and shimmering effects and uses static images for cards. This significantly increases fps for slower devices. * [UI UPDATE] All animated card art on unzoomed cards is now right-sized (1/3 the size) so this should dramatically improve performance for ALL players. * [UI UPDATE] All animated card art on zoomed cards is now right-sized and, due to resolution savings, is 24fps instead of 12.

Now they do.
