A solid amount of variety and the impeccable vibes from the excellent audiovisual presentation can keep you playing for hours in a zen-like trance. Theoretically the interface and play experience could be slightly polished, but the biggest downside is that the hardest difficulty feels too reliant on good RNG at the start to get runs going at all, leading to a lot of early resetting. Thankfully this can be mitigated by just playing on lower difficulty. But while we're on the subject of lower difficulties, my other difficulty-related gripe is that Eternal Jokers are locked behind a relative high difficulty level - they are a considerable enough gameplay changer (most importantly, a Joker being eternal isn't always going to be negative, it can very much be positive as well!) that I would personally like to either see them on base difficulty already or alternatively have them added into the mix on the second difficulty already so you could play base difficulty + eternals, without having to deal with any of the other difficulty modifiers.

Also, while I already praised the audiovisual presentation at the start, I have to give an extra shoutout to the music - it's amazing how you just don't get tired of it despite the game's soundtrack consisting of basically just a single song with some slight variations. One does not simply achieve something like that unless the single song is really, really, REALLY good. Mad props to the composer.
