I didn't find any of the broken strategies during my playthrough, the funniest thing is seeing how chaotic it gets with how many stickers each card has and it getting even more difficult or almost impossible to tell what your card's base value is anymore
I found an un-reported bug. When you restart in the middle of a round, then the score you've already accumulated doesn't get reset and you can shoot your balls while still being in the first shop
Please make it possible to precisely aim with the arrow keys as well and not just with the scroll wheel. It would also be nice if the game saved your previous trajectory, so that if you don't need to change anything then it's more consistent
This is an amazing spin on the Balatro formula! I have been a fan of Juicy Beast ever since the days of flash. I had no idea that they were making games like this
I absolutely love how inspired this is from Edmund Mcmillen's work! It feels like a mix of all my favorite difficult precision platformers. My only main gripe with this alpha is that the movement can feel a bit floaty and I feel like that leads to a lot of unfair deaths, especially when trying to pogo off of enemies. You either have to land on them from the side or right on top of them and I have a hard time knowing how high I will jump when trying to hold down the jump button for long enough to not die. I'd give this alpha a 7/10 and I can't wait to see how the finished game will look like!
Speaking of the grab, it would be more fun if instead of holding down the arrow keys you just press it once back and forth, so you can slam em' as fast as you want. But of course still have them escape your grasp if you aren't doing anything
Some enemies should also require you to grab them first in order to deal any damage, since the slide felt more important to use than the grab in most situations
This game kicks major ass, certainly a step up from the last demo. But my only criticism is that sliding trivializes most of the combat since a lot of enemies can't block it so it becomes super easy to start a combo and then to continue that combo by repeatedly sliding into them again
Is there a different ending other than the good ending you can get in the demo? Because I feel like there should be another ending but I haven't discovered anything about it, still wondering what the keypad on the lighthouse is about. But 10/10 game would horse around again
An amazing show from Grey Leno and I spent like half of the game not knowing that you could throw duck bombs and dash until I actually paid attention to the controls but that's on me. This game also gives off heavy Earthworm Jim vibes which I appreciate
Accessibility options are always a plus in my book! In regards to this I would also reccomend adding colorblind options, a font choice that works well with people that have dyslexia as well as options to turn down some of the more extreme visual effects, so that everyone can have a similar experience. There might be something I have forgot to mention but I think that's all of them.
This is has an insane amount of potential to become huge. I just really recommend adding a practice mode because it's so unforgiving, and it's hard to sightread and understand what I am supposed to do.
It's so awesome to finally see this animation by Louie Zong become playable! I got all the way to 16, the polyrhythms messed me up quite a bit. Btw, you're evil for getting rid of the sound cues at a certain point and for making me have to basically sight read
