I'm glad to see another deck builder ( #balatro ) getting lots of attention. Fun games for casuals that also provide depth and replayability. But a bit annoying. When I launched Spinjool in alpha I couldn't get anyone to play it 😭 spinjool.online

Saw a lot of people talking about the game Balatro on social media. I like deck building so I gave it a go. It's a clever and addicting game. It uses playing cards, so it already has an association with gambling. But the "juicy" visual and audio feedback also screams fruit / slot machine.
