TEKO

VERY very good and growing game. It has been polished countless times from the day it was released and i can happily recommend the game at the current state. It's not only fun, but challenging in many ways. Don't know crap about deckbuilders, haven't played balatro and i don't especially love roguelikes. But this here, is a game i truly enjoy. Also, great dev that cares about bug reports, what the community has to say, always fixing stuff and bringing new content to the table.

Hi everyone! It’s been quite a while since I posted my initial review of the game. I get the impression that it still hasn't received the attention it truly deserves, so here is a quick update from me... In my view, it’s a highly challenging and complex game in the vein of *Balatro*. Various updates bringing substantial improvements to the graphics and gameplay mechanics show just how much dedication and care the developer is pouring into it. If you love complex synergies and enjoy multi-layered poker mechanics, give this game a chance. I never usually write reviews, but I think this game hasn't received nearly enough attention. I play a lot of roguelikes/roguelites, so I feel I can form a well-informed opinion about this one. A comparison to Balatro is inevitable, and in my view, it's in the same league! The combination of numbers, colors, and shapes already provides a remarkably rich depth of gameplay. This is further enhanced by various scoring elements that allow for the sophisticated creation of game-changing synergies. Additionally, content upgrades are unlocked regularly, opening up new possibilities and nuances shortly after the game's release. These keep the game fresh …

This is already one of the best Balatro-inspired games to have come along in the past year. It evolves the formula in interesting ways that add on a bit of complexity without going overboard, revealing different and new angles on strategy. It's tough but once you get a feel for it things start to fall into place. The art is charming - reminds me of a mixture of Dream Quest and Nubby's Number Factory.

bought TEKO full price on a whim and ive been enjoying it a lot, like waaay more than i was expecting. it has a good sense of humour and theres a *lot* of game in there too. its a bit intimidating at first but if youre willing to give this game some of your time to really understand it, it will absolutely reward you also the dev is super receptive to feedback, and seems really set on making this game as good as possible. they have a lot of passion and it really shows
