Hey everyone,

Unfortunately, I have to take down this project. The team at Playstack reached out to me in a very polite and professional manner, requesting its removal, and I fully respect their wishes.

Thank you all for your support and enthusiasm for this version—I truly appreciate it!

Stay tuned for more retro projects in the future.

Cheers,

Ko-Ko

What a shame. There was a physical release planned and music made and everything. The dev could have been a little more clear this was a fanmade thing and not an officially licensed shootoff but to just kill it instead of working out a deal is a huge waste of potential. Nintendo ass bullshit.

Between this, the three consecutive 'friends of jimbo' updates that I suspect are paid sponsored crossovers, and the merch push... all im saying is the next major content update better win back some good faith.

Just got the last gold sticker on the last deck 😎 I guess next is either getting a gold sticker on every joker, or challenges

I finally understood the dice. No wheels of fortune were used (for now).

I legitimately was afraid of getting this guy my first few runs because loosing all discards sounds scary. But +3 hands is actually awesome if you dont have any active synergies with discards going on.

Unused hands contribute money at the end of round. You can burn trash cards on a 'junk hand' which effectively acts like a discard that still gives you points. Having no discards with a positive effect preemptively invalidates the effects of a nasty boss blind.

If you run out of discards but have hands you can still maybe win. If you have all discards but no hands you lost. taps forehead

The only cons I'm thinking is the discard synergyzing cards like... The one that gives you money for each unused discard?? Thats all I can think of. What do you think?

I'm not good at card games at all, and I didn't know what a straight or full house was before playing, but i kept at it and finally succeeded!

Showman did appear multiple times after all

Looks very Balatro inspired right? Just was watching the show the other night and found this interesting.
