never win the run, tried like 10 or more times :D
I've often played Dominion and unlocked all the decks in balatro so... maybe I'm missing something?
on decent run I arrive at the "30" seals stage, breaking between 15 and 20.

Thanks for playing! Did you feel like at that stage you normally had pretty good "deck control" (like, you could reliably play most of your deck) and just had trouble affording all the rites (you need 5 at that point), or was the issue more managing all the junk? I've been trying to stop spirals where some good deck control early on trivializes the later stages, but I might be more concerned about that than I need to be.

on one run I can play all the cards on my deck consistently every round, still I need at least 2 or 3 more turns to buy all the rite.

also, the turn gained between stage seems few

... :D
passed the 30 stage... death on the next one... still very difficult


so... in the end... I've understood where I was playing wrong.

(rushing first turns...)

Nice job! Do you mean like, on your winning run you spent more time staying in early rounds not winning so you can buy more cards or something?

Yes, you got it.
In the "first" runs (like 20 or more, I'm a stupidly stubborn person) I was trying to "win" the first rounds as soon as possible, theoretically to have more turns in the late stages.
I started winning the game, spending every turn that I had, and closing on the last turn, cleaning the deck and buying more powerful cards.
I think I had won one of the games having started with not more than 4 or 5 turns.

3 more minor details.
I understand it's an alpha, but a volume config would be nice ;)
The initial question for the tutorial should memorize the answer for the next game, at least in the same session (aka, if I lost and I checked "no tutorial" I still don't want the tutorial)
The possibility of checking my entire deck during the run would be handy

Good call on the tutorial, fixed that! And I made the turn reward a bit more forgiving.


The next thing I'm working on is some better deck visibility -- checking the deck, also maybe some summaries like total mana cost of the deck, gold gained, size, etc. Maybe tooltips for some of the terms on the cards.

the "48" stage seems more reachable but... that's my wall now

the tutorial check doesn't work :D
