This game is like having a very strange fever dream of being in casino and thinking you're playing poker, but instead it's Balatro and it's awesome.

@nathanhopkins7976

Would you consider it 7/4 or 7/8? It feels more natural for me to count it as two measures of 7 rather than one based on the high-hats/chords, but I'm not very good at distinguishing simple from compound meter. Good song

@treehann

3 ай бұрын

@hopkins7976 the denominator depends on the tempo. I think based on the kick and snare the tempo is around 54. If you count double time it's 108. Counted as the slower tempo, the time signature is 7/8. 3 and a half quarter notes fit in the measure, or 7 eighth notes (thus time sig of 7/8). You're counting the hats which are sixteenth notes by my measure, but those don't necessarily determine the time signature, they just help you keep time. Which is a useful skill in itself!

Love the snare sound. This is one of the few soundtracks I’d never turn off.

The simple opening title screen gives so much credit to this game its insane !

balatro is like if you were sent into some other worldly interdimensional casino where the rules have been twisted and you play with a bunch of aliens

I got so hooked to this game that I randomly woke up at 1 AM and every time I tried to close my eyes I would see playing cards

The whole game feels like you're experiencing one song, and it never gets old.

This is a gem in the latest steam nextfest. I can't wait to play the full version

This soundtrack has a permanent position in my brain that I cannot shake off for the life of me.
