Oooh just tried Q-UP, here are my two takes:

1. Lots of projects chasing Balatro these days, but I reckon this is the most interesting post-Balatro game I've seen so far

2. I'll play any game with a good D&B soundtrack

years ago, some flash developer came up with the single coolest idea for a tactics game ever and made a game for the Lego Website called Spybotics: The Nightfall Incident

Today, 23 fucking years later, an indie dev has FINALLY MADE A SUCCESSOR

AND I GET TO PLAY IT ON STREAM!!!!!!
