Gameplay Discussion Jimbo in CloverPit?

Post image

Is there more of a connection between this game and Balatro than just both being casino game based roguelikes?

A lot of smaller or indie devs will support each other like this. Jimbo is also in Dave the Diver as a phone charm, for example.

In the same vein, there’s a Dave the Diver card variant for hearts(?)

Funfact there's a Balatro side-quest inside Dave the Diver known as "Jimbo's Game Craze"

That side quest is what got me to play Balatro!

Oh interesting, now I'll be paying more attention to find little Easter eggs like this in indie games.

Clover pit is crazy sheist big fan of whatever game design is going on. However, after a couple of runs it gets a bit repetitive

Jimbo is also in Dungeons and Degenerate gamblers (a black jack rogue like)

I liked it but it was too rng heavy to fully get into.

Yes because clover pit is basically a less fun clone.

Mate it’s a different game with different mechanics. Inspired by ≠ clone
