    Huh, google play is refusing to sell it to me. Getting a [OR- FGEMF-20] error code regardless of payment method.

    Edit: searching I came across a reddit thread, the post is older but all the comments are people complaining about this issue with trying to buy Balatro today.

      maybe we can find an APK somewhere, I already own the game on steam and while steamlink works well, native app would be nice

        There is a project to convert the Steam app to a side-loadable mobile app (both for Android and iOS): https://github.com/blake502/balatro-mobile-maker

        I haven’t tested that out myself and I have no idea how it compares to their official mobile release, but I’m super curious about how it was implemented (it’s the first time I saw a tool that could convert a game to an iOS app), so I’ll be looking into it at some point.

          Balatro Mobile Maker works because the game’s engine (LOVE 2D) is designed from the ground up to be multiplatform. It’s trivial to “port” compared to other engines.

      I read that Google Play was having payment processor issues, so for anyone experiencing this in the near future - that’s probably why.

        Part of what was weird is I tried paying with Google Play credit, and it wouldn’t take that either.
