This game is a masterpiece. It's simple to learn, yet has a skill ceiling that grows with you as you learn more about the jokers and master tricks of the game. It wants you to exploit the rules, find synergy, and blast past the goals set each level, but it never just hand it to you. Playing the game is rewarding and inspires that "just one more run" feel.

Just one more round... this is the first mobile game that has sucked me in for a while. Be careful. This could take up hours of your time if you let it. I'd wishlisted this on my console, but having in my pocket is great. Touch interface is perfect. Only real complaint is it doesn't seem to be optimized very well. It can take up a decent percentage of your battery, even when it's just running in the background. I recommend getting into the habit of closing the app when you're done playing.

Phenomenal game! A fantastic port of what was originally a PC game. Best part is you get the full game experience, no ads, no live service, no in app purchases begging you to pay for more stuff. You buy the game, play the game, enjoy the game with no interruptions, and no being taken out of the experience. This is a developer and publisher who cares and loves their players. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

ISSUES WITH SOUND! the app will randomly lose sound, it's happened a number of times though it is not regular. Typically happens when I listen to music or something and then switch to the game. The game will simply not have sound, even after i close the music app. Game itself is lovely, truly enjoy it and curious to see where it goes next. Thank you!!

Very fun and easy to play in short increments. I initially found this game through PSN and enjoyed playing it on PS5. I really appreciate the Backbone controller support! The only thing that would make this port better is if there was an option in the settings to change from an Xbox style button prompts to Switch or PlayStation button prompts. I have several other mobile games that allow that and it's really nice to have as an option when using a PlayStation controller or their Backbone

Buy it once, own the full game. I own 2 copys of this game, one for mobile, one for pc and have 100%ed the game on pc. Its great for when you have a bit of downtime and want to spend said time playing something without ads. Good music, good vibe, part of the fun is learning and slowly getting better.

Very enjoyable game! The animations and sound design are very good as well. my biggest issue is that i experienced a bug where, after completing my most recent run, my profile disappeared. i still had my unlockables, but my stats reset, and i was unable to play more than white difficulty on any given deck. It made me lose all motivation to play further, knowing my progress can just disappear like that. i hope the devs resolve this.

This game is very original and a lot of fun. However, I am annoyed by a bug that affected me recently where out of the blue, most of my progress was lost and I was reset to white stakes on every deck. This is apparently not an uncommon bug and there's seemingly no way to get your progress back. Completing the stakes on the various decks is a big part of what gives the game replayability and purpose, and given that all my progress vanished for no reason it really discourages me playing.

I played this game for hours and hours, just for my save file to be deleted! This has happened once before, and I've followed the advice religiously ever since: only play on one account, on the same network. I had beat gold stake on multiple decks, not an easy feat! I'm absolutely gutted and won't be reinstalling the game. Be aware, the hefty price tag doesn't guarantee your progress will still be there when you open the app, no matter how good you are at following the dev's advice!

The description is right on the mark, extremely addictive! Every run is different. Every game, called a run, is different. When you beat a run, you get the seed code. You can play the exact same run again, but play it completely different. This helped me figure out how to plan and build my deck. This game has one of the highest replay values I've ever seen. I cannot recommend this game enough! Try it!
