Not even on mobile. Once you are in, you'll never get out

want it normal gameplay, or even modding DAMN! that's the worst.

I don't even have any idea how could this game so simple, so unique & experimental, yet, addicting to dry anyway. so much so, it even made it to the GOTY nomination for such a simple & small (both size & scope) of an indie game!

The music even. I CAN'T GET THIS OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!

idk anymore. Just be careful, and watch your time well. If you can stop, pls stop! Remember your time! Unless of course, you had.. idk.

• Relatively smol game size!!! only 3/4 hundred MB!!!
  
• Performant! made with LOVE. Potato PC Friendly
  
• Easy to mod! Download various mods & install to break Balatro from balance, to even lag your device with so much poker results considering how many modded Jokers you got.
  
• Vibe! Pixel CRT, Cool Effect Shaders, Poker Casino Theme.
  
• Music! Signature Music with seamless transitions into variants of them depending on your context (such as opening pack, facing boss Blind, etc.)
  
• Various strategies! Use your luck to who knows find enhancements (called Jokers you can buy every Round win) and synergize them with others. Careful to not mess your synergy (e.g. wrong enhancement combinations). There is also consumables (which are Tarots to modify cards & other actions, and Planet cards to upgrade Poker hand results, as well as game modifier buy called Vouchers)
  
• Single Player Offline! No Internet Connection needed out of the box. Just play, Local save. Unless you would like to mod something out of it lol
  
• NOT GAMBLING. No real money used beside of buy this game, No reward real money. Just fun.

Some technical fixable right now Nays may not be listed here.

• (PREFERENCE, INVALID) Vibe! Pixel CRT, 2D
  
• (TECHNICAL, INVALID: Fix with modding) No Dualsense haptic feedback support]
  
• (TECHNICAL, INVALID: Fix with modding or addable officially later) No Multiplayer versus
  
• (SUPPOSED, INVALID) Luck based strategy building. Not only because of luck, but you must cleverly build synergies correctly & use the correct synergies you've built rather than using what you saw big.

I couldn't find any valid nays right now. & due to our policy here at Perkedel with Reviewing Games, Review could not be easily updated just to it. So, congratulations, yaaay.. lol

Seriously addicting! I cannot stop!
Pros:

• Codes in Lua, Roblox style (Luaou, variables can be given types). No over-realistic complicated assembly language unlike competitors.
  
• With Workshop, you can upload yours & download many gadgets gamers submited intuitively
  
• Comes with tutorial sample gadgets! These can also be the template for further edits
  
• Experience various components once you buy this game, absolutely free, unlike Arduino rabbit hole where today right now may also becomes impossible after Raspberry Pi fiasco.
  
• Compact & Intuitive shipping, from prototyping, down to furbishing its form. Complete with instant solder, sticker printings, spray paint, and boards. All in one!
  
• Assets that we have can be imported into the gadgets. Supports wav, mp3, ogg, jpg, png, lua (text)!
  
• Environments like desk lamp can also programatically be controlled. ADD SOME MORE PLS!! I WANT SOME MORE!!

Cons (Technical lacks that can be improved right now may not be listed):

• Does not advocate Rights to Repair & Open Source-ness. Has protect tag for some gadgets that prevents jailbreak & code edits, even locks the assets entirely. Nasty Security Chip that provides locks for certain assets or all.
  
• Camera does not views in its original look, pixelated. Wait, I believe if I manage to Arduino camera to its TFT display it should looks as is, idk..
  
• (TECHNICAL) Assets that from the gadget could not be extracted back to file without some hacks

even if you ended up not playing it, still just add to library, & buy premium account (permanent, not subscription) anyway. thank me later.

anyway, This is why CVR is better! WAY BETTER THAN competitor.

• Allows 69420. FINALLY!!! A chatting messenger that allows 69420, WHEW! what a treasure. lots of social platform these days hates 69420, UGH!
  
• Express your 69420ness as much as you like, provided you use this wisely & not get naked in front of public. Also I recommend just record (not stream unless you purple tag the livestream page too) & upload to Odysee (view it in lbry bcow xyz), idk. because you already know why.
  
• Gives massive opportunity & influx capacity to 69420 avatars, which of course, you are allowed to upload it right to this avatar repository, provided you give correct & proper tag available yess. BYE BYE (maybe just little bit? idk) 3RD PARTY AVATAR UPLOAD FILE SERVER & INABILITY TO SOCIALIZE EACH OTHER JUST BECAUSE OF 69420 AVATARS & WORLDS!!! (also possible little bit bye bye paywalled 69420 avatar, because you can have another more instead right here for $0)
  
• Allows virtual 69420 photoshooting & videoshooting either private or public (like street show) and allows video distribution channel in which previous does not make sense with competitor if you didn't work around such.
  
• This DLC also can be used to syooo!! all <18 or <legal or <whatever biological mature people in case you wanted it & to remove possible toxicity found on these mentally not mature yet people.
  
• what else?
  
• etc.

• This is permanent purchase. Unlike competitor, this one lets you have premium account permanently, forever, alive, and beyond.
  
• Unlocks additional features permanently. From what I see, it's about avatar & world upload capacity, game modes, & private sharing
  
• Still though even not much, just buy it!
  
• its cheap, & it's permanent, which is real genereous for a chatting messenger service! impressive!!! No pecking way!

• allows 69420 unlike competitor, Finally.
  
• PRO MODDING unlike competitor. heck, even some features that was a 3rd party mod, are now canon features!!! I also wish this had Workshop for modding so it even more seamless, idk..., also even some mod devs are official devs too (forgot where I heard this)!!! WHOLESOME!!!
  
• Safety features (shader, etc.) built-in
  
• No egregious Anti-cheat. like wtf, anti-cheat on a "Facebook Messenger"?! insane right?
  
• Made with familiar engine, Immigrate friendly! Compatible easy!
  
• SINGLE TIME, PERMANENT PURCHASE PREMIUM ACCOUNT. Buy once, own forever, alive. Unlike competitor. THAT'S PECKING GENEROUS, NO PECKING WAY!!! For a chat messenger service, IMPRESSIVE!!
  
• etc.
