I learned about Balatro only after it became very popular, and I have loved every minute of it.

I have to admit, I bought it twice. First on Switch and then later on mobile.

Bought it 3x. Steam, Android, iPad. I feel it's ok to support an independent dev that created an awesome game !

I think at this point Local Thunk should be the one supporting indie gamers rather than the other way around, he's a millionaire :P

What better way to support indie gamers than continuing to make indi games ?

Not even a fan of poker or deck games but enjoying this. Well worth the $10. I've beat a couple red difficulties, and finally just beat black deck. That was a pain.

That deck was such a killer!!! Thankfully the others are easier but I still haven't made it above red stake on anything lol

Love the game. Wish they'd fix the Android app so it wasn't "incompatible" with so many devices. Seems silly you can manually install the APK and play but you can't install it from the Play Store after purchasing it

Last weekend I got my cousin addicted when he stayed over

My sibling showed it to me when I was back home for the holidays. Been playing it ever since - I can’t put it down!

Bought it two weeks ago on PC and also Mobile. Never even played a card game before. It's so addictive.

Does playing it through Apple Arcade count as "sold"? 😅
