Could you build this?
Partial The layout and UI work for a portrait-mode mod is vibe-codeable with Lua and the Steamodded/Lovely APIs. The Google Play build, which requires porting or packaging the game for Android, is harder and needs mobile build and engine expertise.
What it would actually take: The mod is written in Lua against Steamodded and Lovely hooks into Balatro's LÖVE-based runtime, which a builder can learn from the modding APIs. The hard part is the Android build: packaging the LÖVE runtime and game assets for Google Play, handling touch input and screen-size variants across three layouts, and passing store review.
