Hey people :) thanks for all the support on Balatro, this community is so wonderful I understand people disagree with the decision to pull the demo/streamer keys until Next Fest but I promise I have the best intentions for Balatro ❤trying to do the right thing, excited for you to try the game when it is more fleshed out!
I assume your reasoning is so that people don't get tired of the main gimmick before the game is fully fleshed out? A bold decision but I'm excited to see what comes of it!
@@Alwayz114 That is one of the reasons - believe it or not this is not in the late stages of development. Right now it's a 20-50+ hour game and my roadmap is for it to be a 100-200+ hour game, and marketing wasn't supposed to happen until much later when all the core gameplay was finalized. There's been a lot of pressure but I believe in my plan and my goal is to make the best game possible for release, so I am sticking to it
"Money sale at the shop today" really made me laugh for some reason. The idea that a store would sell something for $10 that doubles your money is really funny.
I downloaded the demo cuz of NL and I thought it would be a fun little dinner game. I was hooked and genuinely devastated that I ran out of demo rounds lmao
@@thepenguin9 I tried. Completely cleared all files related to Balatro off my computer but it still recognized it. It's fine, I'm not gonna go uber hard on trying to find a work around, I'll just get the game when it releases lol
Yooooo can the new crib facilitate a Tomo cam??? Also, the lore of this game is that Geralt developed a gambling addiction after the show on netflix got murdered.
That beta code is so clutch, I wish I could also continue playing. It's honestly such a elegantly designed game that leverages all the aspects that make a roguelite fun.
Probably my biggest concern with this game is how many viable builds are there to get to the later antes? I played the demo before seeing any streams of the game and my best run (getting to Ante 8/10) was with a very similar build, building up the multiplier for not using face cards, and having cards that meant plying simple pairs was the way to go. Since playing, I’ve watched other streams and everyone’s ‘broken’ run is the same… just using pairs with the right jokers etc. I know it’s only a small sample size but I’m yet to be convinced that other builds are super viable. I really hope so though, the success of the game will depend on it.
considering how big the dev said the highest hand was. seems like there's a build people aren't seeing. Because there's no way it gets that high with how slow pairs scale.
If you load the game and look at "collection" you can see that there are a ton of jokers, tarot, and voucher cards that are locked in the demo. The full game probably has other jokers that build better multipliers for other types of hands.
I reached ante 9 on the demo without using the bus stop, there are definitely other viable build, tarot cards especially have a shitton of potential(forget straight flushes or full houses, 5 of a kind gives you 100 chips and 20 mult)
If you're worried about the game being too easy, just play endless, people without beta keys don't have the opportunity to explore it but eventually it must outscale the multipliers. I was already on a way more broken build than yours by the final ante (using MOST of the same jokers but with a lot more high card plays to deliberately make the bus bigger, and also a x4 mult-multiplier every 6 hands), but eventually there would be a stopping point for that build as well, probably in five or six more antes
This game is so addictive. Thanks for showing it. I got through 25 rounds in my last playthrough, and was making up to 50k per hand. The stacking "no face cards" joker is what does it, along with the 2x for buying a joker. I know I won't be beating my score, as I only have 14 rounds left in the demo, but I'll look to buy this once it's released :)
They’re not. I played with the non-face card buff joker last night. The joker lists the face cards on its art(Jack/Queen/King), it’s driving me crazy watching this.
He won't, sounds like he thinks he's sitting on the next Slay the Spire unfortunately, and against the early access model, so we'll see a "complete" game released... sometime. After the hype is gone completely I'm sure, unless NL remembers to pick it back up.
@@EscapingLogician I read somewhere that the game is out on September tihs year so hopefully some hype will still be there. One thing to point out is that the graphics are actually great and pleasing to the eye (most other roguelites look like preschooler pixel art) so there is a ton of effort put into it.
@@EscapingLogician The game will naturally build its own hype back up on release when hes completed all the changes and additional content he wants. If the dev wants has a set amount of money he wants to charge for the game but he doesnt think the current product warrants that price why would be release an incomplete version of it?
@@vetofallen521 The dev said in their latest announcement on Steam that there will be a new demo in October, so I doubt the full release is planned for September.
Can someone explain to me why the banner is still in his hand this late into the run? I understand it being good when youre in the early game and the 600-1000 chips are important per round but when its 1/45th of his small blind chip floor I cant justify it.
The +100 is better when you get into the later ante’s and you starting getting higher mult than chip numbers. Theoretically at least the most valuable is whichever you have least of, so mult is way more valuable early game when you have plenty of chips but often less than 10 mult but after scaling lots of mult you want high chips to make the best use of the mult. 200x200 is more than 100x300
Thanks Balatro dev for hooking up Northernlion
NL is on the hook now; big casino claims another victim 😔
Its the best form of advertising as Ennel makes all the mistakes

Dude your game seems fucking sick, I totally respect your decision to hold it off until Next Fest. This game is gonna be huge.
I assume your reasoning is so that people don't get tired of the main gimmick before the game is fully fleshed out? A bold decision but I'm excited to see what comes of it!
I would buy this game right now if I could.
I'm excited too!! I absolutely swallowed the demo lol

The fact that he never stops discarding aces because he thinks they are face cards is fantastic
I mean, ace IS in the word
@@handfulofmushrooms1135😅 Can't spell face without ace
I definitely wasn't expecting the beta code to keep the demo run going. I'm pogging so hard right now
Too bad they revoked it lol
Cat perch in the background is the greatest innovation of the new office
*reads the best card he's seen so far* "That sadly doesn't seem too good"
It's totally a Penus card.
OMG IT IS
Many people are saying this
Insane how NL was so good the dev had to stop him 😂
This game is a must purchase when it’s out for me
It's literally just that one card. It's an auto win
Nerfs incomming? @@afriendofafriend5766
Can’t wait for this game to come out
The devaluing of the space joker hurts. That joker helped win my demo run. Had three of a kind leveled to 22, it was insane.
These videos are making me so hyped for this game. Good marketing decision from the developer to give out some beta keys to build hype.
he asked for nls beta back because he was making their game look too good and generating too much hype, lol.

Played the demo last night because of nl! Can’t wait for the full game to be released
Tomo small enough to sit on Baldy’s shoulder??
WE BEATING THE HOUSE WITH THIS ONE
the x3 card is a bit OP, surely it gets tweaked
Game shouldn’t end. Would love an endless tower type mode where the challenge doesn’t end.
Tomo made this one extra good
The best Balaton player of all time
How will we survive the Balatro drought after this :(
NL had real time tech support by Balatro shouts out!
The backseating is killing me, lol
Highest hand I've seen is about 16.7 billion

Thanks Balatro dev. Great NL content, but holy hell, you made an addictive and fun game.
Needs a new joker "Nothern Joker"
-Automatically plays the worst card possible each hand (also auto targets for card upgrades) +1 multi
bro the dev was like nah bro keep rolling
I dont care for gambling games but this is fucking incredible
LETS GOOOOO THE BALATRO DEV IS POGGED FOR THIS
I'm a simple man, I see Tomo I give like

Amazing playthrough!
Thanks Balatro
nl should try ship of fools he would love it "rogue like ship game"
Part of me wonders if the dev kept the run going with the intent to see how absolutely busted Stencil is
Appreciated.
that is the lore, its a video poker machine in akira. also i need this game wtf devs release it damn round limit...
really good!
So sad that I used up all my turns in one day. Got me fiending.

YES THANK YOU GOD
Pogged that you didn’t have to start a new run
I would love to have a beta code i am soooo jelly
this is just like isac
great content
Can you move jokers between hands?
Da
always happy to see northernlion's son is doing well
But it says endless mode right there
omg YES
Pog
Penus
I have no idea whats going on
NL spending 4 rerolls on a Joker that's gonna be disabled next round and sold right after hurts my soul
The NL high-pitched "Oooh!" saga is starting to get long in the tooth. Regardless, loving this game
Chat was so bad during this game, so much wrong backseating.
I´m crazy or are Aces not face cards???
They’re not. I played with the non-face card buff joker last night. The joker lists the face cards on its art(Jack/Queen/King), it’s driving me crazy watching this.
Hope this guy gets a version out quick to take advantage of this hype

it looks cool :) just like the swiss 10th rank cards
Ryan...
What is this voice
I know he was already winning but giving up n•35 for n+100 with the jokers (selling half joked and not banner joker) sent me man 😭
That is not how basic math works.
The +100 is better when you get into the later ante’s and you starting getting higher mult than chip numbers.
Theoretically at least the most valuable is whichever you have least of, so mult is way more valuable early game when you have plenty of chips but often less than 10 mult but after scaling lots of mult you want high chips to make the best use of the mult.
200x200 is more than 100x300
