I'm not super familiar with Balatro but I had feeling this was inspired by it which is really cool! I did have a bit of a hard time with the gameplay, even with the tutorial (but again, not super familiar with balatro so that might be why haha).
The art is really fantastic y'all did an awesome job with that, I think with some polish and a bit more of a clearer tutorial for people not familiar with these types of games would really elevate it.
Great job guys!
