We want to say thank you to the small but amazing community that we’ve gathered during the pre-release of the game. You guys helped us shape the game and make it even better! The joy of game development, at least for us, comes from seeing everyone’s reactions while playing the game. Releasing a game is truly my favourite time of the year. With Lucky Shot, we tried to innovate within the Balatro…
Hello everyone! We're just hours away from the official release of Lucky Shot, and we're pushing a few final patches so everyone can experience the game at its fullest from day one. Releasing a game brings a mix of emotions. It's not easy to share something that is, in many ways, a part of us, a piece of work shaped over a long stretch of time. But we couldn't be prouder, not only of what the g…

Playtesting the demo was invaluable for Lucky Shot. We discovered many, many issues once players started reaching Endless Mode, issues we never could have predicted on our own. Because of that, we worked hard to migrate our old bullet system into a new one, allowing us to reach a literal mathematical cap without crashing the game. · New stack-based bullet system that allows many, many bullets t…
We launched the leaderboard system alongside Next Fest to celebrate the people who dedicate their time to breaking Lucky Shot, or aim for higher difficulties to gather more points. Lucky Shot is not a competitive shooter, and it does not aim to become one. But it is always fun to share with your friends: “Look at the crazy run I had bro. It was peak.” We wanted to replicate that feeling, but fo…
Holos · "Fresh Clip" is now fixed. Previously, it was also not intended to stack, with this update we are giving Fresh Clip the ability to stack x2 target points for each new reload to all targets on the screen. This stack resets on every new round · Holos like "Leftovers" should now update correctly their values on the Shop. Example: Leftovers will dynamically update the target score that give…
