This was done really quickly as a proof-of-concept for animated jokers, also because I thought it was funny.
Also, the joker intentionally does not explain itself, but it does have a fairly powerful effect, that you can either figure out through trial and error or be boring and have a look through the source code.

This should also be a pretty good starting point for anyone else who wants to make an animated joker.

All footage is actual in-game Balatro footage from a modded joker I made. Audio added in post because a joker which changes the music seemed too annoying. Also the joker has an effect that can be seen in this video as well, see if you can spot it!
