My biggest fear was arriving at the app store and seeing the word free. Glad to see there's still people making games where you just pay and get the game.

- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

MODERATORS
Yeah, and this game is 100% worth the ten bucks they're asking for. I already own it on Steam (where it cost $20 when I got back at the beginning of the year), and will happily pay another $10 to have it on my phone too.
Huh, google play is refusing to sell it to me. Getting a [OR- FGEMF-20] error code regardless of payment method.
Edit: searching I came across a reddit thread, the post is older but all the comments are people complaining about this issue with trying to buy Balatro today.
Edit2: working now for me, about 4 hours after the game went live
Same here
Yea same issue on my end. Seems the balatro dev didn't set up the shop properly.
maybe we can find an APK somewhere, I already own the game on steam and while steamlink works well, native app would be nice
Edit: there's a copy on mobilism
This is bad news for my productivity
Welp...goodbye Internet, I'll see you in a few months.
I'm chuffed it's a one-time purchase. Before release I only had the option to pre-download and I was a bit fearful of inevitably sinking cash on microtransactions (despite the dev being vocally against predatory practices)
Update: Transaction declined! They really are considerate of taking my money!
Well that's the end of me ever doing anything productive for the rest of my life.
finally, i don't have to stream from my PC to play the funny card game
This crack is very moreish
Nice reference :)
Oh no, this is not gonna be good for my productivity
Charlie Booker the guy who writes Black Mirror etc uses it as a reward mechanism. Write for an hour? Balatro.
Releasing the app on the same day to the Apple App Store and Apple Arcade is a nice win for Apple Arcade.
Transaction declined....
