About

The app is a card game called "Balatro Lite," designed for players to engage in a strategic card-playing experience against a series of opponents. The game utilizes a deck of cards with three suits (moon, sun, star) and various ranks (A, 2, 3, 4, 5, Q, K), each with assigned base values. Players aim to achieve a target score by forming valid card combinations and utilizing special rewards and jokers that enhance gameplay. To use the app, players start by creating a new game, which initializes a shuffled deck and deals a hand of cards. Players can select cards to play or discard, with a limit on the number of plays per round. The game progresses through multiple rounds against different opponents, with players earning points based on the combinations they form. Players can also earn rewards and select jokers that provide unique bonuses to enhance their strategies. The app is built using TypeScript and React, leveraging hooks for state management and effects. It features a dynamic user interface with animations, sound effects, and a psychedelic background that changes color as the game progresses. Key features include a scoring system that evaluates hand types, a drag-and-drop card selection mechanism, and visual displays for the deck and discard pile. Additional functionalities include a progress bar to track scores, a sidebar for power-ups and applied rewards, and a responsive design that adapts to different screen sizes. The game also includes various phases, such as victory, defeat, and reward selection, providing a comprehensive gaming experience. Overall, Balatro Lite combines strategic card play with engaging visuals and sound, making it an enjoyable challenge for players.
