Finally, the ultimate weapon against boredom while waiting
This is bad news for my productivity
Oh no, this is not gonna be good for my productivity
Charlie Booker the guy who writes Black Mirror etc uses it as a reward mechanism. Write for an hour? Balatro.
Well that’s the end of me ever doing anything productive for the rest of my life.
This crack is very moreish
Nice reference :)
My biggest fear was arriving at the app store and seeing the word free. Glad to see there’s still people making games where you just pay and get the game.
Yeah, and this game is 100% worth the ten bucks they’re asking for. I already own it on Steam (where it cost $20 when I got back at the beginning of the year), and will happily pay another $10 to have it on my phone too.
Releasing the app on the same day to the Apple App Store and Apple Arcade is a nice win for Apple Arcade.
Huh, google play is refusing to sell it to me. Getting a [OR- FGEMF-20] error code regardless of payment method.
Edit: searching I came across a reddit thread, the post is older but all the comments are people complaining about this issue with trying to buy Balatro today.
Edit2: working now for me, about 4 hours after the game went live
maybe we can find an APK somewhere, I already own the game on steam and while steamlink works well, native app would be nice
Same here
Yea same issue on my end. Seems the balatro dev didn’t set up the shop properly.
I’m chuffed it’s a one-time purchase. Before release I only had the option to pre-download and I was a bit fearful of inevitably sinking cash on microtransactions (despite the dev being vocally against predatory practices)
Update: Transaction declined! They really are considerate of taking my money!
finally, i don’t have to stream from my PC to play the funny card game
Transaction declined…
Welp…goodbye Internet, I’ll see you in a few months.
It was kind of a bad move to not release it day one on mobile. If anything this game was made for mobile, it’s the perfect 5 minute waster.
They’re a small studio with a small budget. They probably didn’t have the skills and money. The success of the game on Steam would have given them the resources to do this.
yeah. 5 mins. Thats all you play. Definitely not 3 or 4 hours just disappear the moment you load it up.
