The game is good, but I wish more effort was put into the android version. No haptics are present in this version, even though they are present in the iOS launch version. Even though this has been the best selling app on the play store, it seems like no further development will happen to the app. Only update was card customization as in-game advertisements for other games in last 3 months. A little disappointed honestly, and they should at least try to get feature parity across mobile platforms.

I really enjoy playing Balatro, it's fantastic game and clever. However, I've noticed an issue when using earbuds. Whenever I play the game with the sound on, I hear a crackling noise (like the sound of a dirty vinyl record). The crackling sound persists across other apps even after I stop playing Balatro, and the only way to fix it is to restart my phone. At first, I thought my earbuds were broken and even replaced them, but it turns out the game is the culprit. I'd love to see this fixed.

Truly great game in both philosophy and execution. I would love a menu option for "confirm actions" or similar that would ask if you're sure you want to discard, play, skip, etc. I've been playing for just a couple hours and I've misclicked maybe 4 times already. A bug on s22 in half speed mode: chews through battery like crazy and the device heats up to uncomfortable temps within a few minutes. That's fine for me, I can play it at 1x, but it was really confusing until I figured out why.
