Patch 1.0.2 — Crisp Text & Pause Fixes
Fixed text appearing damaged/corrupted at resolutions above 720p — menus and cards now render at native resolution Fixed the Menu and Pause buttons not responding while the game is pausedRead full article on Community Announcements (wernervil)Patch NotesOfficial
Patch 1.0.1 — Readability & Controls Fixes
Thanks to everyone who reported issues in the first days — both of these came straight from player reports. Keep them coming! UI Fixes Fixed overlapping text on the round setup screen — the wheel title no longer renders on top of the "Target" text. Deck cards are now readable at a glance: larger card name and description text with stronger outlines. No more squinting or hovering to find out what a card does. Controls Fixed key rebinding not working in Settings. Selecting a bind and pressing a new key now correctly assigns it (previously the rebind prompt ignored all input, and only "Reset to Default" responded). You can also bind mouse buttons; Escape cancels the prompt.Read full article on Community Announcements (wernervil)AnnouncementsOfficial
Now out — and a note on what to expect
Stackbound is live. It's a physics tower-builder with a deck of cards, built by one person.Before each round you spin the Difficulty Wheel and it picks your problem: wind storms, timepressure, giant blocks, gravity chaos. Then you play cards against it — blue modifiers that hold forthe round, green utilities like Undo and Time Freeze, and red sabotage cards that make things worseon purpose because the payout is better.If you play it, a review would help. Steam shows no review score at all on a page with fewer thanten of them, so right now anyone landing here sees a blank space where other people's opinionsshould be. Two sentences fixes that. Good or bad — I'd rather know.— WernerRead full article on Community Announcements (wernervil)
