I just wanted to say I love the demo! I've beaten it a few times now, and I just wanted to say I'd take a look at 5's. Sorry if it's something already brought up, but I found runs going all in on rolling 5 to be much stronger than everything else. Besides that keep up the great work! This is definitely a day one buy for me.
Thanks for playing! I can see why you would think that, but I think this is mostly a demo issue. The full game will have more things that should complement other dice values well. Nevertheless, I will be keeping an eye on this. Thanks for the feedback!
Love that! Art and gameplay are great! But I really miss Balatro fire effect on counter when your score exceeds target score - it really creates feel that you combo is LIT.
Are you talking about playing on android phone? If so, this is unfortunately a pc-only build. Mobile versions will probably be quite a way off in the future.
It runs kinda hot on my old laptop. But probably it's just gamemaker thing. Interesting game though. I don't really get it but that's probably because I haven't played Balatro.
Just a thought, but the first round feels obsolete to me (given that I'm looking to win in 1 play, otherwise I just reset). Idk what the alternative would be - maybe a reset penalty (boooo) or fixed first roll or something special 🤷♂️
Hi there! Thanks for the bug report. So this only happens after the screenshake from a high score right? May I know the resolution you were playing in? Were you in fullscreen or windowed mode?
I really like this game and I would like to translate it into Turkish voluntarily so that Turkish players can experience it. If you need help with the translation, I would be happy to help you.
How can I contact you for this?I will be looking forward to your reply.
The Balatro inspirations are clear, but the game definitely has it's own feel. I won the demo with a run where I was just rerolling as many 1s as possible and actually playing dice was secondary. Also the decision to make this game's equivalent of 'jokers' be cats is inspired.
If I could offer a couple pieces of feedback, I'd consider something a little more ambient for the background music. The current music isn't bad, but it feels a little intense for the gameplay.
I'd also place a little more emphasis on the Boon & Banes. Give them their own graphics and place them front and center of the screen. They're kind of the closest thing this game has to bosses, so they could use a little more fanfare.
Really look forward to seeing where this game goes. It's definitely earned a spot on my wishlist. Best of luck with development!
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, the music is just a stand-in for now, I'd probably get them replaced in the future.
I do agree with you regarding the Boons & Banes, it was even less impactful in the previous iteration believe it or not. I'd need more time to figure out how to go about this.
This is really fun! I love Balatro, so this is great.
I like all the art, I think the music gets just like a smidge repetitve, I wonder as a musician, if you could have any music in this, what would it be like? Would it be similar to this? I was getting like "Transport Tycoon" vibes from it.
I'm afraid I don't know what that is. A game? Anyway, I am using royalty free music by a musician named Ozzed. You should be able to see the music credits on the game's titlescreen.
On Bonus screen, show the dice combination, much easier to get a quick overview of what you need.
Little more celebration when you win a round.
Would like if I double click it will automatic get selected, like when you hover a dice and press spacebar.
When on Payout screen, should be a button for you to continue, feels "wrong" to just click anywhere.
In the shop, maybe not have "exit" as a button for continue to next round, feels like you are about to exit the game or something.
Sometimes I did not know what was happening or what triggered what, think I had "Dice on the right gets +1", so maybe some animation or so, maybe it was and I am just tired now.
I might need to play more to see why and what dice I should put under what cat, what I did now was mostly "ah, I've the "nr 5 cat" and that gives me good bonus" and went with that.
Boon and Bane "perks" kinda get hidden and you will forget them, not sure if you can have an icon or similar that is always showing so you know what bane you have, but guess it can get kinda crowded in the UI.

just texturepack for balatro💀

cool game and ill be happy to beat the full version aswell!
Thanks for playing! :D
This follows greatly on Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers and Balatro. Bravo!
How do we play on google?

What's the specs of your laptop if I may ask? Do you notice any drop in framerate?
2020 Thinkpad X390. Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8365U CPU @ 1.60GHz. Framerate drop, I don't think I experience any.
This game made me realise i LOVE these types of games.. I cannot wait for the full version!! great job!
fire
I am eating this game up.
Very much wanting a full version!
Thanks! Glad you like it. Full version coming early 2025 ;)

Just wanted to throw that out there!
I think I get what you mean. Perhaps I'll add something that randomizes the start of each run to add more variance. Thanks for the feedback!
reoccuring bug when I score extreme scores and some screen shake happens it displaces the text, I think four of a king+ or something can cause this?
had 4 of a kind 2700 or so twice the level requirement then this happened again
Hi there! Thanks for the bug report. So this only happens after the screenshake from a high score right? May I know the resolution you were playing in? Were you in fullscreen or windowed mode?
full screen, yes only when the score glitters not sure what that is, my screen is smaller than the minimum resolution could that be it?
I see. Yes, your resolution could be the cause, but I should be able to fix this. Thanks for the additional details, let me check it out!
The screen shake problem should be fixed! Please give it a try when you are able. Do let me know if the issue still persists.
tested, effect happened but no distortion good work
Using low roll and under 6 dice had the best feel. For money the one item that gives +2$ if you use under two reroll is the most stable for me so far.
Very beautiful relaxing game.
Greetings,
I really like this game and I would like to translate it into Turkish voluntarily so that Turkish players can experience it. If you need help with the translation, I would be happy to help you.
How can I contact you for this?I will be looking forward to your reply.
Best regards
Looking good. I like the visual
Thank you!
Really cute and fun!

Thank you! Yeah, the music is temporary for now. I think maybe something more jazz and less upbeat than Transport Tycoon?
Hey I made some music for the game, and posted it on the discord in case you're interested!
Is the music from Rockin’ Cats?
I'm afraid I don't know what that is. A game? Anyway, I am using royalty free music by a musician named Ozzed. You should be able to see the music credits on the game's titlescreen.

Music, little too lively for my taste.
This is what I've now. Good luck and keep at it!
Very good points, thanks for the feedback!
Looks interesting.
I'll give it a try when i'm a bit more free.
The Slice & Dice inspiration is a nice bonus addition since that's one of my recent favorite games.
Also, slightly unrelated but i like how clean the UI looks.(i'm a sucker for UI design)
