Prototype of Balatro-Like
A downloadable game
This is a first prototype and a lot needs to be done (not ballanced). Any feedback is most welcome. Thinking about how to improve the autobattler part.

Hi, I tried to play a few times but it seems the game crashes often in the shop. For a few seconds I can hover over the items and see descriptions but then everything becomes non-responsive. If I very quickly buy something and then click ‘next quest’ I can continue the game haha
From the little I could play, I liked the mechanic of getting different ‘units’ based on the poker hand you make. It’s a bit unclear to me what exactly is going on as the combat plays out. Maybe it would be nice to see the health bars of your units during combat?
Other than that, I would like some sound effects but I understand this is a prototype so probably it’s a bit early for that :) Same for the AI art, as a placeholder it’s fine but I don’t like it.
Overall, seems like a solid game concept. I played quite a bit of Balatro, so I’m interested in your spin on it :) If you can fix the crashing issue I’d like to play some more of this :D
Hey, thank you so much for your feedback, very much appreciated!
It's really good to know that the game has "Browser issues"... need to learn how to fix them later.
... for know I just added the .exe instead of the browser version... since this should not crash

... yeah need to enhance clarity for sure

... true the art is will be the biggest hurdle... since with AI i can generate a lot of cards very fast... without the game being fun... it would be not worth the effort

... thank you :)... right know i'm working on prototypes just for the autobattler... since after playing for some time... i've the feeling it becomes a bit boring.
