After dodging Silksong, this Balatro-style slot machine roguelike smashed even my highest expectations by shipping 100,000 copies in a single day

Balatro was a slow burn success, the Poker-themed roguelike building a thriving audience via gradual word of mouth. So, for CloverPit, a Balatro-esque roguelike that swaps cards for the handle of a one-armed bandit, to shift 100,000 copies in a single day, should tell you just how good it is.

We've written about CloverPit a couple of times, most recently when its Steam Next Fest demo almost completely absorbed me back in June. The premise is simple - trapped in a tiny room with very little other than a slot machine and some lucky charms for company, it's up to you to make sure you make enough money to pay off your debts before you run out of time.
