What's New in Smear Schmier
1.0.1
October 3, 2026
Pick your partner. Tap any empty seat to fill it. Add a bot, or invite a friend straight to that seat — we'll hold it for them while they decide. Since partners sit across from each other, you finally get to choose who's on your team. Smoother when you come and go. Games you leave and rejoin now pick up cleanly. Cards you play stay played, and a hand that catches up after a reconnect plays out at normal speed instead of jumping ahead. Also in this update • Bots are easier to spot at a glance • The table tells you who it's waiting on while everyone discards • Any player can deal if the host steps away, so tables don't stall • Fixed a bug where adding a bot could fail for no reason • Fixed text running onto a second line at larger system text sizes
