README
# Readabletro - Balatro readability mod
Improves readability, especially on the Steam Deck, by:
* replacing the jagged pixel font with a similar smooth font TypoQuik-Bold
* increasing the font's size
* providing smooth graphics upscaled using xBRZ 2x and HQ 2x, when "Pixel Art Smoothing" is enabled
* rounding the borders for visual consistency
Supported versions: 1.0.1o-FULL
## Installing the mod (Windows)
* download the [latest version](https://github.com/bladeSk/readabletro/releases/latest)
* unpack to `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Balatro` (or wherever your game is installed)
* run `apply_readabletro.cmd` - this will back up the original exe, unpack the game, update the files and repack the game
## Installing the mod (Steam Deck/Linux)
* switch to desktop mode
* download the [latest version](https://github.com/bladeSk/readabletro/releases/latest)
* unpack to `/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Balatro`
* right click `apply_readabletro.sh` and select _Run in Konsole_ - this will back up the original exe, unpack the game, update the files and repack the game
Alternatively just copy the patched `exe` from your Windows machine to `/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Balatro`.
To make the game even smoother, you can enable native upscaling on the Steam Deck. In game mode - go to (cog icon) > Properties > General, set Game Resolution to 2560x1600 and enable "Set resolution for internal and external display".
