Balatro Dual Screen v1.0

Choose a tag to compare

@rosbean rosbean released this 01 Aug 20:07

Play Balatro across both screens of a dual-screen Android handheld. Your
hand and its Play / Sort / Discard controls live on the lower touchscreen; the
table, jokers and score stay on top. Built and tested on the AYN Thor.

This mod is free. If you paid money for it, demand a refund.

You need your own copy of Balatro

This APK contains no part of the game. On first launch it asks you to pick
a copy you already own and assembles the game on your device:

  • Windows: Balatro.exe from Steam\steamapps\common\Balatro\
  • macOS: a ZIP of Balatro.app (a .app is a folder, so it must be
    zipped to copy it across)
  • or a Balatro.love archive

Tested against Steam 1.0.1o. Console, mobile and App Store builds are not
supported. Your copy is only read during that first build; nothing is uploaded
anywhere.

Install

  1. Download BalatroDualScreen-v1.0.apk below and install it — Android will
    ask you to allow installs from this source.
  2. Put your Balatro file somewhere the file picker can reach (Downloads is
    easiest).
  3. Open the app, choose the file, and let it build. It offers a home-screen
    shortcut, then starts the game.

What's in it

  • Hand, shop, blind select, booster packs and menus on the lower screen
  • Touch and controller support throughout
  • Optional, in Options → Settings → Dual Screen: hand score and consumables
    on the lower screen, a wider joker row, the CRT effect on the panel, RGB
    stick lighting that follows the on-screen colours, and a 60 FPS cap
  • Works as normal vanilla Balatro with the second screen switched off
