I've been working on this one for far too long, I need sleep @idkhan.

• All Special Decks were being scored as Plasma deck because I missed a bracket #31

I'm working on overhauling the Shop UI and how consumables are handled. Will drop that update soon, so you can skip this one for now.

Now you can hold L to start Card Selection mode and use the DPAD to navigate through your hand.
While in Card Selection Mode, pressing Up allows you to toggle a card and holding R and moving right or left lets you batch select cards

• Some other stuff I cannot remember, but I know I fixed a lot of bugs and added a lot of features, so enjoy!

Features to be Added

• Complete Gamepad support, a lot of people have been asking for it and I have no idea how I'm going to implement it but I will try
• Animated Background, yeah okay I'll add it
• Skip Tag Tooltips, I completely forgot to add it
• Set Seed
• Win Screen
• Unlocks and Progress Saving

Also I'd like to thank 𝙻𝙴𝙵𝚃𝚈 for helping me with this update. Their help was invaluable and made it so much easier to implement all the Decks and Stakes

WE HAVE SKIP TAGS!!!

Bugfixes

• Bigger Buy button
• Fixed the long delay in scoring with many jokers
• I can't remember them all, there's a bunch

Sorry for not updating in a while, I've been focusing on my exams. Also, I'm going to be working on either working with modders/artists to get their Joker designs or redesigning the Jokers myself so we can avoid using Balatro assets altogether.

Bugfixes

• Score being too large to fit in the panel now resizes #15
• Castle Joker now changes suit and only picks suits present in the deck
• Blue Joker now counts cards in deck, used to count all cards #21
• Mr Bones not working properly #17
• Green Joker can no longer have negative mult #7
• Tarot Cards were not usable on less than the max number of cards, now they work as intended
• Fixed Boss blinds stopped working entirely
• Fixed glass break resetting score and changing hand types

Noted Problems

• Some Jokers can be invisible, this is because of the 3DS's tiny VRAM cache filling up and not being able to display the texture. The Joker will still work. So if your booster pack comes with just one joker, the second one is probably invisible. Just tap where you expect it to be and the tooltip should show up. This will be fixed when new art assets are introduced.

I would like to thank everyone that has been posting Issues on the repo. You guys are amazimg, I wouldn't have known half these issues existed without you, so thank you.
Also, making a .CIA for the game is incredibly difficult since LOVE Potion has permission issues and can't launch from the homescreen. Alternatively you can use a Forwarder to make the game show up on the homescreen.

Bugfixes

• Fixed Cavendish appearing before Gros Michel is Extinct
• Fixed Oops joker not counting correctly
• Fixed Music pitch
• Fixed Tooltip drawing
• Fixed Popcorn not destroying itself

Noted Problems

• Some Jokers may be invisible in the shop or in booster packs, they're still intractable and can be bought. The sprites will appear when bought.
• Boss Blind may appear as empty
