Save Rewinder

English | 简体中文

Undo mistakes. Experiment freely. Never lose progress.

Save Rewinder automatically creates save points as you play Balatro, letting you rewind to any recent moment with a single keystroke.

• 📸 Automatic snapshots — Creates save points for every action (blind selection, hands, shop).
• ⚡ Instant Undo — Press S (keyboard) or L3 (controller) to rewind immediately.
• 🔁 Quick Saveload — Press L (keyboard) or R3 (controller) to instantly reload.
• ⭐ Key Saves — Mark important saves and filter the list to key saves only.
• 🧪 Experiment Freely — Test strategies without fear; stepped-back saves stay available until you make a new action.
• 🛡️ Score Overflow Protection — Rewind/save-load safely with extreme naneinf/inf scores (optional clamp to 1.8e308).

Installation

1. Install Steamodded for Balatro
2. Download and extract the latest release — it contains a SaveRewinder folder
3. Copy the SaveRewinder folder into your game's Mods folder
4. Launch Balatro — you'll see Save Rewinder in the mods list

⚠️ Important: Ensure Mods/SaveRewinder/ contains mod files directly (like main.lua), not another nested SaveRewinder folder.

📦 Thunderstore Users: Files are at the zip root. Create Mods/SaveRewinder/ and extract all files into it. Final structure: Mods/SaveRewinder/main.lua.
