Hi UNO™ players!

We’re Snap Finger Click, a small, independent studio of developers working on UNO™, and we love creating party games for your game nights.

Today, we are excited to bring an iconic indie game legend into your hands, a beautiful new cosmetic theme, and a large amount of bug fixes and other improvements. But first things first: Shovel Knight has officially arrived in UNO™!

Let’s dive into all the heroic gear and summer styles coming your way!

For all the true adventurers out there, the UNO™ Shovel Knight Cosmetic Pack brings the classic pixelated charm of Yacht Club Games' masterpiece straight to UNO™.

Here is exactly what you will unlock in this premium pack:

• 1x Board - The Campfire:
  Take a rest from your travels! Play your cards around a pixel-art campfire stage set deep within a moonlit forest.

• 4x Avatars - The Order of No Quarter:
  Rep your favourite heroes and villains to intimidate your opponents before the first card is even played!

• 1x Card Deck - Shovel Knight theme:
  Draw your weapon - and your hand! This action-packed deck features different Knights to guide you on your quest.

• 1x Frame - Dialogue Border:
  Frame your profile with an elegant border modelled after Shovel Knight’s classic dialogue box.

  Battle for victory alongside Shovel Knight’s most iconic tune. It's the ultimate soundtrack to accompany your grand card-playing quest!

  Shatter the ground right in the centre of the table and unleash a sparkling burst of colourful gems.

• 1x UNO™ Call - Stage Fanfare:
  Let your opponents know you've dug your way down to your final card in true Shovel Knight-style!

If you're looking for something a bit more relaxing, we're heating things up with a new cosmetic drop available to all players!

Inspired by a sun-drenched, retro California aesthetic, the Poolside Sunshine pack transports your game to a chic LA swimming pool atmosphere. Bask in the glow of a golden afternoon, then take a dip in the clear water.

These items are available right now in the Store and can be unlocked using your Coins.

Here is what you'll get:

  A pristine pool setting complete with shimmering water.

  Chill out with these summer staples: put on Fuchsia Shades to catch every sunbeam, pick the Potted Cactus standing tall against the heat, grab a Coconut Drink for a sip of pure paradise, or kick back on the Flamingo Float, your pink throne of poolside leisure.

• 1x Card Deck - Poolside Sunshine theme:
  Brings a splash of tropical zest during a summer heatwave.

• 1x Frame - Summer Drifter:
  Float over the gentle waters with this stylish profile frame.

• 1x Music - California Vibin':
  A sun-drenched melody, straight from the coast.

  Celebrate your victories with the energetic splash of a perfect dive.

• 1x UNO™ Call - Relaxing Refreshment:
  A refreshing sound effect for when the game gets hot.

Here is how you can show off your new look:

1. Navigate to MyDesign from the main menu and select either the Shovel Knight or Poolside Sunshine pack from the Packs section to instantly apply the full theme!

2. To make sure you can see these designs in any game you join, go to Options, enter MyDesign Settings, and choose 'My Designs'. This ensures your chosen theme stays active on your screen, regardless of what other players are using.

While our artists were crafting these vibrant new themes, our engineering team has been working on technical code fixes. We read your reports on Steam and Discord, and making sure your game nights run smoothly remains our top priority. We also have just launched a bug reporter tool which you can use to report bugs, you can read more about this here.

Here is what we have fixed in this new update:

• Gameplay & Quality of Life:

• Steam Deck Controls: Fixed an issue on Steam Deck where the physical controls would become completely unresponsive, forcing players to rely entirely on the touchscreen.

• House Rules Saving: Fixed a bug where selected House Rules for match setups would automatically reset to default every time the game was relaunched.

• MyDesign Card Overrides: Fixed an issue where players would incorrectly see the Host's card design instead of their own chosen design when the "Opponents' Design" setting was enabled.

• The Call of Yara Exploit: Fixed an oversight where swapping hands using the 7-0 rule during the "Hide Opponent Cards" disruption would accidentally reveal all of the opponent's cards.

• Consecutive Match Lead Cards: Fixed an issue where playing consecutive online matches with a score limit would sometimes cause multiple cards to be thrown onto the table during the initial deal.

• Stability & Technical Improvements:

• Jump-In Crash: We’ve made optimisations to improve game stability when executing a "Jump-In" with House Rules enabled. We are continuing to monitor community feedback surrounding this feature.

• AFK Timer Crash: Resolved a critical crash that triggered if a player remained idle and allowed their turn timer to reach zero.

• Menu Navigation Freezes: Addressed a bug where the game would sometimes become unresponsive when navigating to the "MyDesign" tab within the Options menu.

• Controller Connectivity: Fixed a "controller disconnected" error that could trap players on the initial title screen upon boot.

• UI & Visual Fixes:

• Stuck Lobby Prompts: Fixed an issue where lobby button prompts would sometimes remain stuck on the screen and overlap with your hand during an active match.

• Switch Resolution Blurring: Fixed a visual glitch on the Nintendo Switch where changing settings in the Options menu would cause the resolution to become blurry.

• Brawlhalla Wild Cards: Fixed a visual bug where playing a Brawlhalla Wild Card would cause its theme to briefly flash back to the Classic UNO design for a moment.

• PS4 Screen Blackouts: Resolved an issue on PS4 where the screen would momentarily flicker or go black when adjusting settings in the Options menu.

• And More: Plus multiple other bug fixes and stability improvements to keep things running smoothly.

As an indie team, your support and feedback mean everything to us. Whether you're striking from the shadows with Specter Knight or lounging by the pool, we want to see your setups!
