The success of Balatro is absolutely incredible, and very well deserved. It's a pity that it seemed to have such a physical toll on the developer. Balatro's probably the most accessible roguelike deckbuilder I have ever played, and it really is a ton of fun. In a lot of ways it feels like 'outsider art' to the genre - the blog post mentioned that the developer didn't really play any similar games during development and it really shows. Balatro really is a breath of fresh air, and brings a lot of innovation to the table.
