it's solitaire and simple for sure, very much like a mobile game. still, it has separate volumes, resolution options, windowed mode and a few languages available anytime, plus an exit button and in-game rules. a lot more than many games, card or otherwise, can offer. backgrounds are really nice too.
you start with $500k and trying and retrying levels costs money. novel approach, don't like it, prefer no cash and collecting it as levels are solved instead of constantly spending some. wildcards, undo and extra cards once the deck runs out are available for a price, costing more with each use, but at least it resets between levels, unlike some other games, so you won't have to spend 10k on undo by level 30. another novelty is cards with only a face, no value, more freedom to match.
on the downside there's buggy audio, music changing volume depending on whatever's happening, so I turned it off after a couple of levels. the screen shake after every combo is incredibly annoying and there's no level select, can't replay already completed stages. nor is there a restart option, gotta go back to the menu and click play to retry the current one, and as soon as level 5 the size of the deck can be ridiculously low, making you spend money on retries and/or extra cards in a disgustingly mobiley fashion. I never went below 500k but the whole feel of the game is that it's an unbalanced mess.
pleasant surprise and good enough in some aspects but overall not something to recommend. takes about 2 hours to clear all 100 stages, then it's back to level 1, but no way is it possible without excessive use of wild and extra cards.
