Too many ads

The game is a lot of fun and has a great concept. However, having an ad after EVERY. SINGLE. SPIN. Is a bit ridiculous. I understand you have to make your money and that’s fine but you need to reduce the number of ads it is almost unplayable 1 spin and I’m watching a 30 second ad.

Good idea bad game mechanics

The idea is really cool but i feel it only works with good enough ball physics half your runs you lose to the balls getting stuck or just defying physics rather than learning and improving with each run like a typical rouguelite your just left feeling scammed out of a good run the poor ball physics can get really infuriating alongside the fact the ads can feel abit overwhelming at times i often find myself playing this game with the wifi turned off to avoid them

Deserves more attention

I don’t even remember how I found this but I’m glad I did. It has balatro vibes but is a completely different game

Rules are surprisingly simple, yet it gets hard quite quick

Cool concept, needs work

This game has good bones but a lot of tune up is needed. Kind of feels like it was released before it was done. Having 32 different wheels but a broken randomizer is weird. Curious to see future updates.

Bad Balatro copy

It’s apparent that the creator stole from balatro and added a quick coat of paint. They’re even called Jokers even though there’s no card theme in this game. Ads are also terrible, I got none for the first 2 runs but then it’s an ad on every single stage now that you’re “hooked”
