Balatro
Such a fun game to play especially to pass the time on flights or long drives
Cloud Save still not working
My achievements seem to be saved between installs but all progress not. Reported this a year ago and gave up playing as it was happening so often. Returned just now but it is still broken. Impossible to play if unlocks and progress can’t be relied upon. Others reporting the same issue in reviews here and for the non Arcade version. Could we please get a fix or at least a recognition of the issue?
Doesn’t get much better
Games honestly amazing I don’t have much to critique other than adding cross platform progression so I don’t have to restart on every new device
Not saving progress
I like the game but my wins aren’t being saved so I’m soft locked from progressing through different decks, if the developers can fix this bug it would be great, playing on iPad.
The game is fun but how I’m I supposed to progress
Ok I won fair and square no seed on a black deck and it said I unlocked challenge mode and I unlocked a new deck because I beat the black deck. However when I went to main menu it said I didn’t win and I still have to win one more game to unlock challenge mode and the new deck I received is locked. It didn’t even count it as a win. I don’t know why and I tried restarting the app and it still didn’t work. Another thing I copied the seed from that game and beat the game again and it didn’t give me anything. So I don’t know what to do.
Best game ever
10/10
Most overrated garbage oat
There’s no strategy. It’s mindless button clicking until rng says you can win. You can lose because of no fault of your own and you can win the same way.
Glitch
I beat a game with the red deck but it didn’t register as a win
Best mobile game ever
I am addicted
Seed bug?
I will start a new non seeded run with the plasma deck and it won’t give me a seed when I fail. I’ve tried multiple times to get it to give me a seed from different runs.
The best out there
This is the most addictive and genius poker game I’ve ever come across. I’m ecstatic that it’s a part of the arcade collection. My hats off to the developers for creating such a well, thought-out video game!
No Undo Sell
The sell joker option is right next to moving jokers around. The number of times I’ve accidentally sold a joker is ridiculous.
Very good game - nearly perfect
Not a lot of games that are fun and challenging where you just want to keep going. Honestly this could be my number 1 game, the only thing missing is that it doesn’t support portrait mode, it’s only landscape. Nothing wrong with that, just circumstances don’t always let me. It would be an accessibility feature for me :) fingers crossed!! Maybe it’ll happen in the future 🙏🏻
I love the creativity poured into the game!
The fact that one person made this game is really impressive to me! And seeing how smooth it plays and how good it looks it just makes it all the more impressive.
Fun game. Unforgivable bug.
You cannot have a challenging roguelike that you struggle to win at high difficulty and then it just….doesnt save. It doesn’t even crash or anything. Just randomly doesn’t count your successful run. Really braindead bug that should be EASILY fixable or at least allow for failsafes and contingencies.
Sooo awesome!
When I first got this game, I thought it was gonna be really chill game, but it turned out to be the most exciting poker/solitaire mashup ever!!!
Good Game If It Works
It is a great game when it works. For some reason when you win a round it does not register. In a game where progression is based on winning rounds that means the game doesn’t work. Unacceptable for a game you need to pay for would not spend money on it.
Amazing game but save issue is annoying
I have been hooked on this game ever since a friend mentioned it to me. Poker meets solitaire is an underwhelming tagline considering how addictive this game is once it clicks. That being said, there is a horrible bug that prevents saving. I think the root cause is when you start a game, lose connection (eg on a plane or subway) and once you finish it it won’t save your win. Please fix. Thank you for the great game but please fix this bug.
I love the game, but…
I saved a game midway through and when I went back play it while being offline, it said it needed to load cloud save and just had an endless loading screen. It didn’t load until I was back on wifi. Now every time I want to load it offline I can’t because somehow this game needs to be connected to the internet to play. I don’t know if this is due to a recent update, but it had not happened before and now it’s every time I am offline.
Loading iCloud saves hangs
Great game, but signal strength is poor, the game doesn’t get past the “Loading iCloud saves” screen, even though it ostensibly supports offline play.
Favorite game
My new favorite game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Offline progress does not save
Progress made while on airplane mode -> eventually reconnect to internet -> game overwrites local save with cloud save instead of the inverse. PLEASE FIX THIS. This game is so fun to play when backpacking with no cell service. I get back to civilization and connect to the internet and all my progress is lost. Horrible backend architecture.
Great fun
Great fun and addictive gameplay. I really enjoy the game. I’m having same issues as others however with runs not being counted and unlocked challenges not showing up. The problem only started once I hit 4/5 runs. I kept getting pop ups showing I’d unlocked achievements and cards etc. but nothing saved onto my profile. A little disappointing tbh. Playing on iPad.
Not iPad w/Keyboard Friendly
Guess we will never see this fixed… If you have an iPad and the mouse/keyboard, avoid the game for now. The mouse disappears and you can’t click on cards. Not worth playing if you can’t use the keyboard and mouse…
Crack
Addictive
Fun and simple
Easy to play and no annoying ads.
The best card game I’ve ever played
This game is not only the best card game I’ve ever played but one of the best rogue like games I’ve ever played
Lost my progress
The game is fun and super addictive. Sadly I lost all of my progress when I installed the game on another device.
Good game with major bug
It is a good game, but your wins and progress will not be saved. I have won different decks multiple times, but it still does register the win. So new decks and challenges wont open. This is major bug and they are not able to fix it! I suggest just opening all challanges based on the number games played or a high score or sth. They are so many ways you can fix the issue. I don’t feel like playing anymore at this point
Still no achievements unlocking
Plays well on all of my apple devices, and unlocks content across them all BUT - still no achievements unlocking from ANY device
Balatro+
Fun Fun Fun
Apple Pencil support and lost icloud game save
The pencil satisfying to use, however it doesn’t let you pick a card and drop it also i just lost icloud save after ipad reinstall
Good, but bugged
The game is great! However, there is this very annoying bug that happens where the game will stop registering inputs until you either tap multiple times, or you exit and come back into the app, and it can do this as often as once every minute or two, it’s really frustrating and I wish it would be resolved.
Achievements not registering
While I love this game I’m quite frustrated with the fact it is not registering when I win stakes. The game is also will not register achievements I have gained example being I received the award for finding lol of the planet cards but the collection shows I’ve only found 11/12. If these bugs were takin care of this is a 5 star game.
Annoying bug
Love this game, really really fun. However there is currently a very annoying bug which stops certain items from unlocking after a completed run even when meeting the requirements. It shows you unlocking whatever it is but then says it’s still locked. I’ve had multiple runs where this has happened and it’s just annoying to have to do some pretty difficult requirements all over again. Other than that though amazing game.
Absolutely so much fun
This game is so good and much better than any other games. I loved the art style on all the jokers
Game keeps freezing
The game keeps freezing making it unplayable.
Vertical/ portrait mode
Add a vertical or portrait mode so I can play it with 1 hand on public transport and it’s perfect
Too Small For Phone Screen
I absolutely love this game on my PS5 so I was excited to see it on iPhone but everything is so small and hard to ready. The GUI needs to be rethought for the phone version to avoid eye strain. I don't have a tablet so imagine this game works for the iPad but definitely not on my iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Doesnt work offline
There is no reason for this game to not work offline
Goty
Nothing else to say
Fix windowed mode when?
An inarguably brilliant game yet incredibly frustrating that window mode has been broken since release on Mac and is still broken in the latest update :(
Awesome game!
I love this game very much, it is fun to play and replayable. I just don't like a few of its bugs, like sometimes not acknowledging that I beat the game in a certain stake, and having to restart all over again to unlock the next deck. Also, why do I have to not be in silent mode to hear sounds? I dont want to be bombarded with notifications just to listen to the music and addictingh sound effects.
Way too much luck
All in the title
O jogo é perfeito, mas…
Não guarda save na nuvem
Best game ever!
Love
Still broken
Been playing this game since it came out on Arcade, and have loved it ever since, but it still has an annoying habit of not counting wins and unlocking the next Stake, or even unlocking decks as just happened after beating the black deck (this is after deleting the game and re-downloading it, I had beaten a lot of the game previously and unlocked all there was to unlock, including some gold stake wins) I’m not sure why others aren’t having the same issue but it’s upsetting since I really enjoy the game; it renders it totally pointless/worthless if I’m playing for no reason. I bought the physical copy on PS5 because I love it so much, but i get most joy from this game playing on the go.
Buggy deck unlocks
Such a fun and addictive game, but even after meeting the requirements I cannot unlock a deck - I finish a run, it says I’ve unlocked the plasma deck, but when I go to choose it it still says locked. Frustrating and demotivating!
Buggy, cannot unlock deck on MacBook Air M2
The game is good, but it is so BUGGY!!!!!! I have the newest MacBook Air with M2 chip, it didn’t count any win using any deck…
Precisa de modo vertical
Se tivesse modo vertical iria ser perfeito
