    will progress carry over from Steam? I want to keep grinding out stakes and finish up the last 3 Jokers I haven't unlocked, but I'm less inclined to purchase if I have to start over.

      Official FAQ is up.

      You won't have your progress from whichever platform you've been playing on but you do have the option to UNLOCK ALL if you don't fancy the challenge of unlocking all the Jokers again. [...] We are looking at the possibility of cloud and cross save with mobile devices but we cannot guarantee this.

      There may be a third party tool to import and export saves, or you could use the Balatro Mobile Maker to import the save into a bespoke version of the app that you sideload into your phone.

    With all the hype earlier this year, I had been putting off purchasing on PC as I expected it'd make a good mobile game and didn't want to buy it twice. Months passed after they announced their intention with mobile without an ETA, so I finally broke down last month and bought it. Just finished gold on my first deck, got past ante 11, got a 100,000,000 hand, and have just about every joker unlocked (I think I might have one left?). I've just cracked 100 hours.

    It's weird, I came into it from completing my first A20H in Slay the Spire and went in expecting it to fill the same niche, just a new flavor. I'm not sure why but it didn't quite grab me at first and even now it doesn't quite excite me as much as StS. I don't know how to describe it but it feels less strategic? I think because StS has 4 distinct characters each with multiple strategies in deck build. You can grind out The Silent for a while and if you get bored switch to The Watcher for a completely different playstyle. There's a lot of randomness and options with Balatro but aside from maybe the plasma deck it's all pretty much the same jist.

    I'm not sure I'd really call it an exciting or interesting game, but it is a very easy to play game. Not easy to win, mind you; easy like a good Old Fashion is easy. Easy to get started, easy to slip into the groove, easy to lose hours to. No anxiety. No real frustration. It's the Long Hike of rougelite deckbuilders. It's comfy.

    Anyway, I'll be picking it up Day 1 even if I have to start from scratch. It'll be an easy way to kill time in the waiting room or during flights or on my lunch break.
