If there is one part of myself that would likely surprise friends and family, it is that I absolutely love bingo. I haven't given it enough self-reflection to actually tell you why I love it for sure, but it probably has something to do with its repetitive nature, pattern recognition, and bright colours. Saying this makes me sound like a parrot in need of more enrichment, but it is what it is, I guess.
So you can imagine that I jumped at the chance to try out Bingo Betty's demo, a bingo roguelike. The goal? Much like Balatro, Bingo Betty is a roguelike which has a goal score for each round, which you need to reach before running out of draws. There are seven stages in total, each with four rounds, with the final round being a boss challenge. You only have so many draws per round, though. So you need to make each move count.
