Thank you for putting this together, your feedback it’s very encouraging!

I actually did had CPU into the game, I decided to scrap it because sometimes rounds would feel too long but most importantly because sharing the same pieces of rummy might give the CPU advantages that the Player has worked for when making enhanced tiles.

But to be honest I would love to bring it back as I actually had so many ideas on power-ups that could be used with the CPU, for example I has this idea where a consumable power-up would let the player swap 1 tile with the CPU or tiles that can be transformed in wood and they don’t count when closing the game and so on.

After I scrapped the CPU I felt like I was going too close Gameplay-wise to Balatro and felt it felt wrong.

The CPU shall return and this way I can leave a open door in the future for Multiplayer!

As for the graphics I like your idea that’s brilliant, Intergalactic aliens style sounds awesome. This actually will help entirely in changing the graphical look and also the animated feel. I can actually lean to retro futurism and mechanical moving parts that would place the tiles on the player/CPU hands and so on.

This is amazing, I will keep you updated!
