Introduction to Balatro’s Endless Mode
If you’ve dabbled with Balatro, you’re well aware of its charm and addictive quirkiness. Much like Tetris before it, this intriguing game doesn’t just end; it continues until you find a way to break the system. After cruising through those initial eight antes, a tantalizing thought crosses your mind: how far can you really go in Balatro’s endless mode?
Navigating the Wild Reaches
Sure, you’ve toyed with the idea of reaching ante 16 and wandering into the uncharted territories of endless mode, perhaps making a few fateful leaps on the way. But few players can claim to have ventured where relatively few have gone before—hitting those astronomical scores at ante 39. This level is where things get really wild and the game starts to push back.
When the Game Explodes
As streamer Nandre demonstrated, it’s possible to reach a point in Balatro such that the game can no longer handle your stratospheric scores. At ante 39, the numbers soar to an unfathomable peak, ultimately exceeding the highest value the game can track, which is surprisingly a lofty 1.8e308. The result? A delightful glitch that sends your game into a ‘crash,’ proudly displaying the message “nan,” which by programmer standards means “not a number.”
So, the next time you find yourself getting cozy in Balatro’s vast wilderness, remember: in the great quest of numbers, sometimes all you need is a good crash to remind you that even games have their limits.
