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.

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!

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

Attention all Balatro players (on PC), if you haven't tried the Pokermon mod yet drop what you're doing and give it a shot: https://www.nexusmods.com/balatro/mods/58
It completely overhauls the game. Aside from making it Pokemon themed, it adds completely new mechanics like evolving jokers and and Pokemon-themed items. At max evolution, many pokemon can be enhanced with power cards that work on specific elements of Pokemon.
The balance is a bit wild (as in easy to break), but this mod truly deserves more love. It's very, very fun and fresh. Anybody else playing it?
