to be honest, it took me a while to understand how the game works (admittedly, i decided not to read the description, so that was probably why). for a while, i was just placing cards down, but once i started to understand how the game works, and i hit a nearly full sequence that netted me over 320 points on round 5, i definitely got the appeal. i can definitely see the balatro inspo, and i think you did a really cool job with it. the music is chill and i didn't ever get sick of it, and the art all feels very cohesive and pleasing to look at. the one thing that bothered me is that the text does not read well with such a low resolution, so i would have to suggest increasing it a little. cool game!
