## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.3.0 — 2026-09-01

We cut it down to pure essence, its good now, its there, see u online!

### 2.2.3 — 2026-08-23

Bug fixes and some refinements of the animation.

### 2.2.0 — 2026-08-21

WHo are you? I asked myself when looking into the mirror, torn between where I found the core and where things gained momentum. And forgotten was where I started. 
Its ambitious to connect physical and digital 1:1, and some things just dont work well so I had to wonder who I am, what to do etc etc.

Ultimately this journey started as an app, and it is an app, and I think physical prototyping is one of the greatest tools ever but I am an app. And elimination slaps so hard which is why its back, but shoutout to the game I played at the table last week made me switch +=2+ t0 +=+ring which is nice. Now its sharp, its lethal, its exciting.

Also added royale. Fun.

The story is there now and I cant wait to tell it, if this dryesque genre can breakout into something exciting we are on a roll. Pray.

### 2.1.0 — 2026-08-18

we were playing with some friends from paris in a bar with low light, a 3p game transitioning into 4p then 5p and incredible insights have been gained. I want physical and digital to be consistent and have spent much time reflecting on the + and - mod which both cause issues in the physical version and have been concept tested digitally. what I landed on was economy - a fix to the narrative arc that peaked in mid game due to +2-1, now + and - win and lose extra rings - and the tension rises all the way until the end, a great way to play poles.

futhermore lots of housecleaning and auditing given the dev sprint, the product is crystallising well, and I am happily throwing the old stuff

### 2.0.6 — 2026-08-08

Closing Chapter V1 - it was time to make a few needed tweaks post V2 first launch.
Color got fine tuned - to address color-blindness a shortcoming of my V1physical model I wanted to improve.
+ Simplifying the UI to really carve out an identity and simplify UI elements into a consistent experience. 
Light/dark mode for later but I wanted to bring down the brightness towards midtones more - until now things were too bright. Its nice now, old-school vibes.
Tweaked animation too hope its smoother now.
