The latest demo of Cascadou can be tested if you add the «demobeta» build on Steam.

latest version has some bug fixes, adds a card overview screen, remixed music and gives straights a +1 mult.

Works great on Steam Deck!

There are (currently) 7 types of cards in Cascadou. Some of them are very powerful, but you won't come across them often!

I thought I had broken my game when testing on the Steam Deck. No touches would work. Found a post about it, I needed to enter Bios, select an option and restart:

So on first boot, I had no touchscreen functionality. Tried software updates, restart, shutdown, factory reset, no change. Booted from USB recovery and it worked for a day. Then randomly stopped. USB ...

Adding a new card type that will open up some interesting strategies: Tungsten cards, that do not discard.

French and Portuguese added to the Cascadou demo, along with more music, options and bug fixes!

Hunting down obscure game bugs, looking at stacktraces and event queues. Game programming is hard.

Small, free act you can do to bring some good in this world: add positive reviews to ALL you Steam games, especially the small indies. You don't need to write anything smart, just "game good" is enough. Every positive steam review tips the algorithm and helps your fav artists get more sales

My #IndieGame is a true family business! I convinced my kids to sing on the win game soundtrack, and I think it turned out great! I will of course pay them (in extra screen time and snacks) 😇

Wishlist now and enjoy the demo!

Yo! A new update for the Steam demo of Cascadou just dropped! Improved menus and UI, more customization in settings, smoother animations and lots of small tweaks and bug fixes. Runs great on Steam Deck. Give it a try!

Oh noes, my cards are getting all wet!

This looks like nothing, but this has taken multiple days and caused even more gray hairs. Having remappable controls with correct controller icons, and also having them show up correctly inside the game was a huge challenge. Hoping to add more accessibility features later on!

Can everyone please not launch any games in 2026 so I have the chance to

A) Actually play some of the games that came out this year
B) Release Cascadou as the only new game of 2026?

Thanks, and happy new year everyone!

I thought my 20 year old puzzle game Cubotix was long gone, but today I found it on internet archive! 🥹 Back in 2005, this taught me so many programming concepts.
I’m still a lousy game programmer, but it has never stopped me from making games 😅
