What's next

If you ask me, v1.0.4 is the version of Madhearts I wish we had released on day one. We poured our hearts into this one.

Before moving on to more gameplay content, we wanted to tie up the loose ends, fill in the gaps, and make the game feel more complete.

So, what’s next?

• New content
• Meta progression
• More languages
• Better level design
• A more polished and rewarding Ranked experience, including things like unique badges for each rank

None of this is set in stone. Your feedback may change our priorities, and our plans may shift as development continues. But that’s the big picture we have in mind right now.

Thank you for playing and sticking with us. 🤍
