#Ballionaire

[vanquishedvaliant]

been watching a lot of different personalities play Ballionaire lately, just one of the latest roguelike trends, and it's been funny because

A lot of them have gotten really good at the game really fast, and found all the exploit and infinites and unlimited money tricks that they usually do to succeed at the game and go beyond the limit and nearly completely RNG-proof the game so it's a matter of build more than chance

and then there's Northernlion

Who not only stubbornly refuses to get better at the game, he sometimes actively gets worse just to spite the chat

And yet it's still so entertaining watching him of course because of his usual form speech and general personality

But also because he gets so invested in the randomness of each individual drop that you can see the man's heartbeat rise and fall with the plinko balls

It's captivating

That said, these demos have to wow me to get here, either with fun gameplay, a unique aspect to them or just being cool style-wise. All of these are just my own opinions, though, so you really should dive into Next Fest and get a taste for all these demos yourself.

The eternal dilemma: on the one hand, I wish to create, to hone my chosen craft yet closer to perfection, to give voice to the expression of my immutable and irrepressible spirit and through that voice provide solace, comfort and perhaps a flicker of inspiration to another who may need it.

On the other hand: Ballionaire.

This week is a pachinko roguelike from @newobject and @RawFury. A mesmerizing, chaos induced, fun demo. Easily accessible game for new players that also keeps veterans of the genre in mind. Super fun, colorful and chaotic. I love it #blog #indiegame

[zedogica]

[patchwork-crow-writes]

And we're all caught up on everything that happened while I was sleeping.

...welp, time to slink back into the comforting, thought-obliterating embrace of Ballionaire...

[patricia-taxxon]

i am skeptical of the "dopamine printer roguelike" microgenre that is cropping up in the wake of balatro. like ballionaire literally seems designed from the ground up to create the exact highs and lows of actual pachinko but without any actual gambling, even watching northernlion play it feels feverish.

[funky-dealer]

watched vargskelethor joel play a little bit of balatro and uuuuh i think i need to play this game right now

i love not caring about popular/mainstream game releases. like nooo didnt care for webfishing didnt care for balatro i think i will spend my time playing a 90s pc trivia game that only me and a few other teenagers that have something pretty wrong with them care about
