Mojang's strategy game Scrolls will soon be heading to tablets, according to a post by chief word officer Owen Hill on the game's blog.

Alongside the tablet version - which is being worked on with the help of developer Ludosity - a smaller demo is also in the works, which Hill notes is intended to provide "a slice of Scrolls gameplay for the curious." Additionally, the current beta version that is available on Windows and Mac will soon be receiving a number of new features, including an updated ranking system and of course various bug squashing and tweaks.

Hill said the goal of the new ranking system is to express players' ranks with "more palatable" visuals. Mojang is developing ways for both highly competitive and lower-level players to be equally rewarded in-game, such as weekly goodies for those who play frequently. The existing tutorial is also getting a rework, being replaced by two "snappier ones" that will only take a few minutes to run down the basics of Scrolls.
