Hey folks! We've been working hard behind the scenes on an update which makes the game more accessible and enjoyable for everyone, especially new players! 1.0.5 makes the game more intuitive and easier to understand, without sacrificing any of the depth and complexity that we think makes Wildfrost so challenging and fun. For players looking for fresh content and new challenges, we’d also like to double confirm that we’ll be adding more in the coming months. Check out our handy roadmap below to see what we have in store and gear up to embark on new adventures and face new challenges in the world of Wildfrost! 🃏🌨️ [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42375445/f0093e468f3fd7b1d799fa843e22b638bba219c7.png[/img] [u][b]Fixes and Tinkers update - v1.0.5 (Live now!):[/b][/u] [b]Turn Order Eye Button[/b] When pressed, this button will show the order in which cards in battle will act.

Minimoko replaces the Makokos in the Infernoko boss battle, to make this battle’s difficulty more in line with the Bamboozle boss battle.
