- Big update for Cascadou! - 20 July 2026
It is time for the second major update for Cascadou: Here comes v1.2!A new playmode has been added. Freeswap is the perfect mode for a more laid back playing experience, or if you are new at the game. Swapping cards is free, so you can set up the biggest combos without fear of running out of moves. You only get 4 cards to play though, so make those chain reactions count! There are also three new stickers added, making the total 120. Realtor is great for any House or Palace builds, Gloves upgrades your most played hand every new day and Forge turns your gold cards into crystals and crystal cards into onyx. Golden Path and a Forge sticker can be a very powerful retrigger build! I really recommend taking a look at the sticker catalog (Main Menu -> View Stickers). There are lots of fun stickers and synergies to discover, and there are multiple ways to create really powerful decks!What's new…

- Cascadou Demo released! - 11 November 2025
The last couple of months I've been hard at work finishing the demo of Cascadou, and now it's time to release it into the world!Is it scary? Heck, yeah! Is it fun? Also heck, yeah!The demo of Cascadou showcases quite a bit of the game. You have three modes you can play: Easy, Normal and Lucky Runs. Around 70 stickers are available in the demo, but some you have to unlock by playing.A Cascadou run consists of 7 days, with morning, afternoon and night rounds, with some alternative challenges along the way. In the demo, runs are limited to 10 rounds, but there is no time or play limit, so you can play as much as you want.I recommend going through the tutorial to get aquainted to how the game works, but these are the basic rules:Reach the target goal by scoring poker handsPlaying or Swapping a card costs 1 movePlaying a card finds the best scoring hand, or multiple hands if connected to mor…
- Cascadou coming to Steam Deck - 2 September 2025
I love my Steam Deck. I actually had mine imported from the UK since they weren't easy to buy here in Norway. Having a small, always available handheld PC made me finish some great big and small games last year.When I started creating Cascadou, I knew I wanted it playable on the Steam Deck. That meant keeping the graphics crisp and clear, font sizes up, and an easy control scheme. The Cascadou beta has been playable on the Steam Deck pretty much from the start, and I think it's a game that fits really well on the console.I haven't yet looked into Steam Deck verification, but I can guarantee that it will play well on the deck. It is my preferred testing device, so if you have a PC with similar specs you know you will have a nice time. Performance wise it is running at 60fps at the moment, and I hope to keep it that way.Basically you only need two inputs, one for lifting/swapping a card,…
