Collection Bug

I love this game and I wish I could give it 5 stars with my whole heart. If this was a year ago, I would no doubt put 5 stars, no notes. The only reason this is a 4 star is the bug for mobile devices that prevents any type of wins or the collection to be updated after a certain point. I’ve tried everything to get around this bug so I can continue loving the game, but wiping the save files doesn’t even work. Please please please fix this bug. It’s unsatisfying playing a game when you cannot unlock and use what you should’ve already unlocked. Otherwise, I love the gameplay and I love the unpredictability of every run. Thank you Devs

Best paid game on iOS! NaNInf!!!

This game is an outstanding value and has become my go to mobile game. I have 100+ hours in and I never seem to tire of the creative stacking of jokers, points, mults, modifiers, loaded cards, and exponential thinking. If you enjoy poker, systems, strategies, and maxing out characters and game systems, you are going to love Balatro. Check out some of the YouTube videos and Reddit to get a sense of the game as you get started. There is a lot of complexity to uncover here.

I am John Balatro

If I had only minutes to live…

I’d get one last round of Balatro in. By far, the best game ever made. Brilliant on so many levels.

Pencil support improved, still bugged.

After applying the newest update, dragging a card into the “buy” or “select” field using the pencil only successfully activates about 20% of the time.
