I really liked the animations and the VFX, like card highlighting, card outline, etc.
SFX are scrumptious.
I have no clue how to play poker, but my Balatro experience helped me to get back half the frozen funds (if I understood correctly). The game froze right before I had to select the best hand for the second round.
Most of the time, I had more cards than my opponent; I'm not sure if that's intended. The game let me drop just one card instead of two sometimes.
I think I would've enjoyed the game more if I understood what on earth I was supposed to be doing, though.
I tried both the jam version and the post-jam version, and both had the issue.
