It was fun for the first few games. I see a lot of comparisons to Balatro in the reviews, and I think that these are misplaced and misleading to potential customers. Balatro is fundamentally about tilting the odds in your favor through deck manipulation and joker combos. Ballionaire's RNG is brutal and you just can't manipulate things in your favor enough.
With the limited items off the start, you are able to actually try for a "build" and so the game is substantially easier. I had around 35 unlocks before I realized that it requires you to manually click on each new unlock (please change). After unlocking and adding the items my games became more irritating. It felt like there was no way to strategize triggers, as the dollar amount required to beat each level is a little too harsh and I would just pick whatever gave me the largest immediate reward. Then even if you do get something capable of beating the game, there's still the RNG component where you can get extremely bad drops on all of your balls. Add to the fact that even if you try to minimize the RNG of your initial ball drops by utilizing spawners, there's potential where the balls interacting with each other ends up throwing a ball with multiple carryables off screen for no value.
If you just want to play the lower difficulties for a few hours, then yeah it's a good game with really nice music. In my opinion it would be a great $3 mobile game.
