Definitely, those are boss artifacts (which are not really rare considering there's one every 3 levels) because they are supposed to enable new strategies, they are not properly balanced, surely those 2 (plus Orchestra) are undoubtedly the most powerful in the game. I want to get to Balatro levels of power scaling but the balancing needs tons of work. Thanks for your feedback!

So I replayed and got 2529687 points.. the waterfall was the bane of my existence. Really fun! The pyramid is also an insane combo by the way. Also the skills / artifacts on the left will slowly eat up the screen and get into the board which made it difficult to click on the left side of the board. Really cool game, I didn't expect to sink so much time into it lol.
Wow level 83. That's my goal, maybe even for endless runs, but not even in my play testing got it that far! I didn't even test what happens after you exhaust the artifact pool! I agree some of them are detrimental. Which is ok really, some games have these super niche effects that you learn to avoid, but still I want to make it more clear before picking what they do. Thanks again for playing and taking it that far!
