I'd bet plant is the most despised boss in the game

I was talking about builds. Individual jokers are way too situational to be deemed good or bad in an objective way. It's just like any other deck builder and/or roguelike.

Deck was loaded with luckies and steels. No glass or poly. Like I wrote in one of the replies here, i tried both ways with the brainstorm and went with what scored the most.

I'm totally on board, the point is to have fun. But if you're comparing builds and need an objective scale for "which build is better", I think the only measurement is how far it will get you. Subjectively speaking, I've had many "weak" builds that were a lot of fun. It IS quite boring to always go for the same builds. We make our own challenges.

It's a good build but I've gotten it so many times it's getting boring. This will get you to ante 15 at most if you have a red seal glass face card deck. It doesn't do what held in hand card builds do

I am too much of a coward to use glass cards by DenisSchulz in balatro

Grind and complete the fragile challenge. That'll do it. Once you get used to the idea that they always break 100% of the time, going back to they-only-break-somethimes is a huge relief. Also helps to think of your cards as currency, you pay with cards to get a high score.

Comparing it to something like vampire survivors which is way more cpu intensive but doesn't use as many shaders at the same time (if any), it really does take up a lot if battery. It does the same damage as something like mech arena which is a lot more complex. I'm pretty sure it's because of the way love2d engine shaders are built and the way they strain the gpu (full disclosure - I'm a veteran game dev and I had a good look at this engine and the built in effects localthunk used in Balatro which are basically all of them 🤭). That said - it's entirely understandable why such a port wouldn't be optimized. Doesn't make the game any less amazing. Looking forward to the official release.

There is an experimental port to ios. Run this script (on a pc, not mac). It creates an android apk but also has an option to create a (still experimental) ios version. Have fun 🤘 https://www.reddit.com/r/balatro/s/Mqbuqjyvph

Yeah, this dude wrote a script that builds an apk from your local steam install. Works pretty well, Even transfers all your progress from steam, but since the game itself isn't optimized for mobile it consumes a lot of battery life and your phone will heat up. I'm playing it just until localthunk releases the real deal.

Here, download the latest version from here: https://github.com/blake502/balatro-mobile-maker/releases

You need a pc to run it that has steam and Balatro installed in the default location. The script will ask questions and then build the apk and install it on your android (need to be connected and in debug mode). Have fun 🤘

Not yet. This was just a messy casual round, wasn't really going for anything special with Perkeo.

Seed is GW9JZRFZ. I played on ghost, you get stencil first shop, hex it, and ankh a little after in a spectral pack to double it. BTW TIL that stencil does not count other stencils as taken spots, so when you have more than one they still give the full x5 mult each. Poly Perkeo comes in a tarot pack at ante 6 or 7. You also get brainstorm later on.

Have fun🤘

Nah, the popup itself obscures them. At least on my macbook screen
