I really like balatro, but unsure if I agree on the best audio design.

TL;DW it uses a single piece of music which slightly changes situationally
Nah the sound effects are fantastic. Definitely adds to the weird vibe the game has
I had to turn the music off as it got repetitive, but the rest of the audio stays on. The sound effects are so satisfying as everything is counted after playing a hand and you’ve got a bunch of jokers and cards triggering and then flames begin to build up.
Absolutely, sound effects are a must stay on, even when consuming other media at the same time
Yeah, I play it muted 😂
The music is pretty great but I think they’re really talking about the diegetic sound effects. When you get a multiplier the pitch rises for each new mult, but no matter how many you get it never goes sky high I think it uses some version of the infinite stairs effect.
Hope they win. Very well deserved nominations
