### 2/5 — We have Balatro at home

*2026-08-08, version 1.11*

Balatro at home:

### 4/5 — really fun but...

*2026-08-08, version 1.11*

you can only play the base game and all other settings are hidden behind a paywall which kinda sucks. also there should be like customizable cards and stuff. like upload an image and you have a customized queen or something

### 5/5 — Free version of Balatro

*2026-07-27, version 1.11*

Exactly the same as balatro just the design is a little more simple. No ads. Fun to play

### 2/5 — Good game but disappointed

*2026-07-23, version 1.11*

I was really enjoying the game until I got hit with a “free play quota” meaning I had to pay .99 a month if I wanted unlimited access. The game is great but you guys need to fix a lot of things before charging money for it.

### 5/5 — PEAK

*2026-07-17, version 1.11*

I low key am addicted and even though Balatro is better it’s a good way to have fun on the road!

### 5/5 — Balators lite

*2026-07-10, version 1.11*

Great game

### 5/5 — Addicting

*2026-06-25, version 1.11*

I normally hate games where I lose 90% of the time (talking like oblivion) but this one’s so addictive I don’t even care

### 3/5 — Issues

*2026-06-22, version 1.11*

So far I’ve noticed two issues, there’s no score or anything for a royal flush. Also, the joker that gives you bonus for however many stone cards are in your deck just simply doesn’t keep track of how many stone cards you have. I have atleast three and there is still no multi added.

### 1/5 — It’s not free

*2026-06-22, version 1.11*

They let you play for an hour and then they ask for $3 a month or something like that.

### 5/5 — good game

*2026-06-21, version 1.11*

good substitute for balatro if you dont have money to buy real balatro
