There is inspiration everywhere in this world. For Balatro creator LocalThunk, it struck when he played Luck be a Landlord, a slot machine game where you collect various power-ups to get enough money to pay rent each month. Now, developer Dan DiIorio has created a new game, Maze Mice, and given its 95% positive Steam reviews, I'm excited to see what else comes in its wake.
"If you don't know Dan DiIorio, he's the dev behind Luck Be a Landlord; the game that inspired me to make Balatro and influenced tons of other devs to expand on the genre he shaped," tweets LocalThunk. "His newest game Maze Mice just left early access! I'm going to be playing it all weekend."
