Flipflop Solitaire

If you really like solitaire, in all its varieties, this version is really worth playing. It’s a very interesting remix of the game, infinitely replayable. I play it when I want to relax, I’m bored, anxious, whatever. It’s just fun, and makes you think just enough. To the people complaining about the price - I understand that mobile games are generally considered to be less-than, and not worth more than $1 to get rid of ads. I’ve played many of Zach Gage’s games and they are are thoughtfully and beautifully made, with a lot of intention behind the design. This guy is an indie game developer, and paying him makes it easier for him to keep making new games or improving the ones you already like. I saw one review say they’d played over 2000 rounds of this game, but still thought $3 was ludicrous for a card game. I think that actually is an insanely good value for all the time they’ve spent with it! All that’s to say, consider changing the way you think about pricing and value for mobile games, and maybe get to know the makers a little better too!

This game is extremely fun for those who like solitaire and want to switch it up a bit. It’s a creative twist on the classic game. That being said, here are a few of my complaints. 1) If you aren’t connected to the internet and able to watch ads, the app stops you from playing. I get that ads are where developers make their money, but games like solitaire are the ones people want to play on the road, on planes, etc where having connection isn’t possible. It basically makes it so that I can only play the game at home because let’s be honest, I’m not using data that I pay for just to watch ads I don’t want to see. 2) The app has been a bit glitchy lately and I see this stuff isn’t getting fixed since the games been abandoned for over a year. Nothing too bad, but the sizing of the screen and border gets messed up, the menu buttons stop working until I restart the app, etc.

I do enjoy the game, but it feels like the non-AA version was never finished. There’s no tutorial - that I can find - and the rules aren’t intuitive. I learned how to play the basic game via Apple Arcade, (yours was the only game I kept after I canceled the subscription) but I don’t understand the concept of opening 5-suit and above. Will I ever get full access, or will it always be something to be won? I don’t understand how you earn any of the 5 points needed for 1 free-play - is it random? Score-based? I hate all your ads but I can’t find an option to buy the game. (Not sure I would, but I’d like to know the cost.). Finally, will you *please* include only those ads that let the user turn off the sound? I like to play while listening to podcasts, and it is really annoying to lose the sound when I win a hand. I understand that ads are where you get your revenue but they are very often repeats and I don’t like being stuck listening to the same stupid music over and over again.
