Beat the game in 5h. I would say it is worth $1.99. My biggest concern was that it is poorly optimized on iPhone. There are plenty of UI glitches and it makes your iPhone overheat easily. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-06-17* Do not buy this game. There are no instructions. Okay, you figure some things out. Then the game glitches and you cannot get it to move anywhere. There is a button on the cog labeled System that reads “reset all data”. So, you decide to start over, hit that button and you wind up in the same place with absolutely none of the resources that you spent a couple of days building up. I tried resetting it. Same place. I tried deleting it and reloading from the App Store. Same thing. Nothing to do but consider this a real learning experience and just be glad it was so cheap anyway. I would like to get my money back or the game fixed, but on their website (pretty cool looking site, by the way) you have to jump through hoops, download some software to join them, etc. I do not download those kinds of software. I do not do Social Media. I just want easy pay and play and a way to fix it if there’s a problem. Who ever heard of a game that you cannot restart from the beginning? No simple Customer Service spot, just like there are no instructions on how to play the game. Sorry, don’t get it, you will be frustrated. ### 5/5 — How mobile games should be *2026-06-17* My only complaint is that the game isn’t longer. But, for $3 I am happy with the purchase. Gave me a good 7 hours of engaging game play that make sense with no spammy mechanics. I really enjoyed this game! ### 4/5 — Extremely fun, but no content *2026-06-16* Game was very enjoyable, felt like we were moving very consistently fast as opposed to most idle games, but considering that I finished with under half of the upgrades, that was fairly disappointing by itself. Another boss or level of prestige is needed. ### 1/5 — Startet nicht *2026-06-15* MacBook M5 Spiel schließt sich direkt nach dem start ### 5/5 — 薄味の放置ゲーム *2026-06-08* 暇潰しにはなった。 転生とアップグレードを繰り返していけばそのうちクリアできる。 良い役が揃うほど高得点なのだが、エフェクトの光で文字が読めず、何の役が揃ったかわからない。 数字やスートのアップグレード後はまったくついて行けない。 色々な要素が中途半端に作り込まれていて、 さらなる完成度が欲しいと感じた。 ### 3/5 — 9시간 만에 깨는 게임 *2026-06-04* 인터페이스가 개판이라 그냥 무작정 눌러서 업그레이드만 해야함. 족보도 없어서 뭐가뭔지 모르는 사람은 어려울 수 있음. ### 4/5 — PLEASE add portrait mode *2026-06-03* this game is probably one of the better incrementals i’ve seen. unique, visually charming, and fun. but there’s one-ish things that if they were added, i would never stop playing. firstly, more content. i literally just started but seeing as how most people beat it with one night of idling is so much shorter than i was expecting from an idle game. secondly and most importantly, portrait mode. i know there’s a lot of UI elements that need to fit in landscape, but there are tons of ways to fit them into portrait, even if it removes some of the personality. just turning the clipboard and upgrade book into buttons on the screen would work just fine. and you already have to scroll through all of your decks anyway. landscape mode is just uncomfortable for me and a lot of other people. having portrait mode as a toggle in this game would be absolutely incredible. overall, great game, uncomfortable to hold for long periods of time, and while it’s very quality content, there’s too little content. 4/5 ### 3/5 — Seems like they care. But it has pacing issues. *2026-05-29* This is a really fun game and it seems like the developers care. The writing is funny and gameplay engaging. The issues it has are fixable. Primarily the pacing is just too fast. After my first overnight idling, I had enough to max out all the fairy upgrades, leaving no goals to grind toward or unlocks to look forward to discovering. And on the next run I had way too many new gameplay elements to get used to all at once, and at the same time was upgrading rune-level upgrades so fast I didn’t have time to learn what anything was for. There is no sense of tension, strategizing, build up, or looking forward to unlocking anything. I’m just mashing upgrades all over the place as fast as I can. A faceroll. Which really took the fun out of it. It seems like slowing the pace quite a bit would solve this, so that I could enjoy it across weeks with multiple runs per major prestige, maybe even having to idle to push through a plateau. That’s what makes a good roguelike fun. Just make things cost more, let growth happen slower, and other small tweaks to get it balanced. Other issues are cosmetic. The particle effects, even when graphics are turned low, are honestly blinding. As in, I can’t even read the cards. It runs my battery down faster than it can charge. I really don’t need a light show to enjoy a game with this level of intrinsic fun. I’m here to strategize and watch the numbers go up. I don’t need the gimmicks. ### 4/5 — please for the love of god add a portrait orientation mode *2026-05-08* like this game is super fun and all, i dont have a problem with its length, i think it looks great and is super satisfying to play, but MAN is it awkward to play in landscape. like im pretty sure this game came out on steam first, but revolution idle has a portrait mode, cmon neow 😭 ## Frequently asked questions about This Aint Even Poker, Ya Joker ### What is the core gameplay loop of This Aint Even Poker, Ya Joker?
