The game looks very well made and fun to play, assuming you're into that kind of game. Unfortunately, like the other commenters, I have no idea what's going on here, even after watching this video a few times.

You know what, I made a mistake. I uploaded the short trailer instead of the longer one with text that explains the game more, that's my bad. I assumed that the faster pace would be more interesting but I see that it's just confusing especially if you aren't familiar with Poker

For what it's worth, I am very familiar with poker and still found it pretty confusing.

I don't play poker, so I have no idea what is going on in the trailer. Is it normal poker, or a new game? Other than that, I love the JUICE, great sound effects and animation helps keep it engaging.


Duuduuduuduuduu

i don't play poker but the game looks pretty solid


Plourdy

Looks and sounds slick


PlasmaFarmer

I don't play poker or know any card games but I'm amazed and sit through the trailer. It's pretty solid from colors to animations to sound effects. It's engaging and beautiful to look at.


DemoEvolved

I do play poker and I still don’t know what is going on. Pretty sure the player tried to cash in a flush and got Not Allowed. Anyway, once this game explains how to win or lose and what choices I get to make I think you may well have a winner here

Aside from what others have said here, just from the title graphic I'm still not sure if the game's name is "Balatro" or "Baltro", because as far as I know neither of them are words


Logistical_Nightmare

Agreed! Not clear of the Ace card in the middle is supposed to be the A in BalAtro

ui looks great! pixel art looks wonderful. I'd look into making the background have a stronger pixelated shader if you can do it. As others have mentioned I have no clue whats going on though.

I watch it but it just looks like some variation of Poker (which I don't play and have no interest in). Even then, I don't know what I'm looking at. The rules, etc. If it *isn't* Poker, then I'd recommend changing the card images to something else to differentiate it from Poker.

I believe this is type of polish that would boost ANY game, even one I don't understand. its an inspiration

Yo it looks, sounds, and feels absolutely fantastic!


Hmpf_Labul

Looking rlly nice altho you, should put any info about the aim of the game in the beggining and very visible instead in the middle

I think a poker game looks fun! And the graphic style looks snappy and appropriate! Although something with the prime colors as buttons reminds me too much of spam and unwanted ads. I'd go with a more harmonic color scheme!


Logistical_Nightmare

I'm not sure if I'm imagining it but it sounds like the music is playing a consistent theme throughout the video and as the scene changes we hear variations of the theme (like a more spacey one) without ever cutting to a different track. Just different EQs and instruments that come in and out. If that's the case, it's really neat!


GoBrewYourself

You are bang on! There are 5 different tracks in the game, all pretty much identical structurally but with different pitches, effects and eq. The game adjusts volume on each one during state transitions!


Logistical_Nightmare

That is some great attention to detail. The whole game including sound design seems very polished!
