Since we're posting stuff a day early (well it's already May in some countries), I might as well do this too. :P

Um, I barely played anything. I finally plaued my iPhone's thinking games (not Duo Lingo) this morning.

 
 
Still a lot of Balatro, tho I also picked up a cool little indie game
for 2$ called Downwell, too.

I think I played Downwell for about 2 minutes.

Fair enough, at least you got 1$ per minute ;)

I'm on the fence on Balatro.  On the one hand, card game.  On the other,
so high a rating.

It's not /really/ a card game, I think. Yes, it uses the mechanics of
poker cards, but its mainly the spirit of a rougelike: finding good
jokers that synergize, deck fixing, etc. You can even win with mostly
high card hands, if you get a good setup. (in fact, by late game, your
deck is usually either fixed to be 80% of a certain rank/suit, or youve
gotten such a strong setup you can literally play high card anything, in
my experience)
