LocalThunk (Balatro dev) shared his favorite indies this year, the Golden Thunks. Some great stuff, and a couple I hadn’t heard of or played. Arco and Animal Well are awesome. Need to try Dungeons and Degenerate Gamblers (apparently very Balatro like, but not a clone). Cool list of indies to peep.
Full list for those who want to stay off Twitter:
Animal Well (his winner of the Golden Thunk)
Arco
Dungeons and Degenerate Gamblers
Nova Drift
Ballionaire
Mouthwashing
