ADDED
- New EXTRA benefits (one time purchase) include:
-- Offline mode: when you play offline, your scores are saved and uploaded later.

-- Score overview: view all scores, and all scores of any other player.
- On the rankings, your personal scores are highlighted.

IMPROVED
- On profile, you can switch tabs before the profile is loaded.
- When the music is set to 0, the slider is slightly faded, to indicate the music is ‘off’.
- Fixed an issue with the two checkboxes showing the wrong state.
- The card icon in the game UI is now the same colour as the cards in the game.
- Much improved error handling and ‘try again’ buttons for when you are offline.

- Many texts have been shortened or removed, to reduce textual clutter.

CHANGED
- Before, if you played offline, the ad after ‘game over’ could be skipped. This is no longer possible.

If you have EXTRA, you can play offline, continue on game-over without watching an ad, and all your scores are uploaded when you’re back online.

GAME

- Recent trophies show a ‘new’ label. A badge on the menu shows when new trophies are awarded. This badge can be disabled in the settings, if you prefer not to see it.

GENERAL
- The main menu has been redesigned. The leaderboard closest to finishing is highlighted in the ‘ranking’ button, showing the trophy to-be-awarded and how much time is left.
- Haptic feedback (vibrations) have been added throughout the game to enhance the experience and feedback. Haptic feedback may be disabled in the settings, if you prefer to play without it.
- The ‘remove all ads’ screen has been redesigned.

Fixed:

This was noticed on the first of March, and is the main motivation behind this update :) 1.0.8 03/02/2022 -- CHANGELOG v1.0.7 --
If you have any suggestions or questions, always feel free to reach out at: ray@novious.nl

Added:
- Sliding cards: By popular demand, you can now slide cards to the desired position. So if there's two (or more) matches available, you can slide a card to the match you wish to use, allowing you to better strategise your next moves. You can also slide down cards at the bottom to dismiss them. Tapping also remains available. 1.0.7 03/01/2022 -- CHANGELOG v1.0.5 --
This update includes new features, interface refreshes, and significant performance optimisations for the end game.

If you have any suggestions or questions, always feel free to reach out at: ray@novious.nl

Added:
- New player statistics: Go to your profile to see your highest score, your average score, and some pointlessly fun statistics: how many cards you’ve played, how many rows you’ve cleared, and how much time you’ve been playing.
- Statistics of other players: You can see these same gameplay statistics for any player in the top 20 by tapping on their username in the ranking. This also works on the leaderboard for the #1 player of previous days/weeks/months/years.

Improved:
- Ranking navigation: the rankings now open on the daily ranking by default (also after completing a game). When you press ‘see previous winners’ (on rankings) or ‘see ongoing ranking’ (on the leaderboard), you will now navigate straight to the same type of ranking as the one you came from.
- Ranking extended: the ongoing rankings now display the top 20 players (increased from the top 10).
- Highest score in ranking: the ‘my highest score in this ranking’ (shown when scrolling down on the ranking) has an improved design. Also, this panel was buggy during the loading of rankings/navigating to new rankings/etc. - these issues have been resolved.
- The score label can keep up: the score sometimes could not keep pace with how fast it increased. This led to the score label not showing the current score, and never stopping its animation. This has been resolved: the score label will be much faster in animating towards its current score.
- Period vs comma in large numbers: larger numbers were separated by a period (1.000) instead of a comma (1,000), which was confusing for several countries. I’ve fixed this for these locations.
- End game optimisations: Players scoring in the millions have reported that the game slowed down in these later stages. Significant optimisations were processed to improve the performance in these final stages of the game. If you continue to have performance issues, please feel free to reach out to me, so I can look into further optimisations.

Fixed:
- A crash on the latest version of iOS (15.2.1) should have been resolved. Everything has been updated and the game has been rebuilt for the latest version of iOS. If you continue to have issues, please reach out to me at: ray@novious.nl, so I can assist with a fix.
- Several minor text changes 1.0.5 01/30/2022 -- CHANGELOG v1.0.4 --
This update includes new features, significant performance optimisations, and an online manual. If you have any suggestions or questions, always feel free to reach out at: ray@novious.nl

Added:
- See your personal high score and your highest rank in the daily/weekly/monthly/yearly rankings. Scroll down on a ranking to see the total number of scores and how high your highest score ranks.
- An online manual has been added to the settings page, right above the 'email me' button. By popular demand, this in-depth gameplay guide is now available here:

https://www.novious.nl/cards-infinity-how-to-play

I will likely add this guide in the game itself in a future update, but wanted to have it available as soon as possible in the meantime. If you have any additional questions about how to play or how certain mechanics work, always feel free to reach out.

Fixed:
- It's now no longer possible to horizontally scroll between the daily/weekly/monthly/yearly rankings and leaderboards. You can navigate between these using the tabs.
- Added the decimal separator to several forgotten numbers. Also forgot several more. Will include these in the next update, again.

Improved:
- Significant performance improvements are included. Several users reported their device getting warm; this has (hopefully) been resolved. A certain shader had a high impact on performance; this shader has been replaced. Additionally, several checks were needlessly performed each frame - quite a few of these have been optimised. If you continue to have performance issues, please reach out so I can further investigate them.
- Improved font sizes/outlining on the rankings. Now accommodates scores in the millions. Did not expect everybody to get scores this high :) Will update again when the 10.000.000 is reached!
- Several fonts/UI elements adjustments to better accommodate different languages. 1.0.4 01/19/2022 -- CHANGELOG v1.0.3 --
This update includes new store images and a few minor improvements. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to reach out at: ray@novious.nl

Fixed:
- The 'streak score' no longer disappears in the middle of a long streak animation.
- The 'earned position in ranking' was incorrect after finishing a game.

Improved:
- Added a decimal separator to (almost) all numbers for improved readability. So '3133461' is now displayed as '3.133.461'. (Forgot to add it on the 'earned score' label after finishing a game, but will get that one next time).
- Resized the 'high score' label on profile, allowing larger scores to be displayed comfortably. 1.0.3 01/13/2022 A huge thank-you to everyone who downloaded the game and is playing it so enthusiastically. In the first few days, over 10.000 cards have been played and my personal all-time high score has been beaten ten times over :)
