Solatro

very excited for this. it it literally your face here and on yt so it has got to be good.

the amount of resets at the beginning is insane. you make zero progress most of the time. its almost as if the cards arent put in a way for the game to be solvable every time. the amount of resets i had to do on level 3 was insane. i got so frustrated that i used the cheese described by playrix to skip level 3. i would suggest using this cheese starting from level 3 as rng is super harsh in the early levels. games are pure rng, so they arent solvable. the amount of points you need is hard to reach without amazing rng. you dont have enough upgraded cards to combat the rng. i like solitaire so i dont like cheesing the game, but after failing a level 5+ times due to bad rng, i would cheese the level. 

i also found out that the bug is a lot more powerful than playrix described. you can grab a card from a stack, right click, revealing the card under it, then let go of the left click, which will put the card back on the stack. you can use this to reveal all cards on the field. it is a bit inconsistent tho, idk why. sometimes the game just wont let you right click. i used this a lot more than the points cheese, as it felt a lot more fair. i was still playing the game, though with an advantage. one that i felt canceled out the rng of early levels though.

starting at level 8 you need to clear the board. i feel like from here on out you have enough upgrades to start playing legit. the game becomes very strategical with how you use your upgraded cards. it feels like the game is very balanced at this stage. the upgrades and rng cancel each other out. 

upgraded cards dont automatically get stacked. in later levels i could imagine this getting a bit annoying. its super satisfying to have a chain of cards fly onto the stack. upgraded cards break that chain.

bit of a complaint. the game seemingly can not be muted. it is a pretty long game, so you may want to do something else in between. closing the game also does not save progress. saving would be a nice feature. id love to just be able pick up where i left off. solitaire is a game where you play a few rounds and then put it down for a bit, only to pick it up again in the future. its a game that you can always just play a round and then leave. here because of rng and upgrades the game only really became fun after 8 levels. i also didnt get to experiment with all upgrades. having the game as an endless run that you can continue whenever would be fun.

all in all a fantastic game. the early game is heavily rng based, but the bugs with right click kinda bail you out as you can just skip those levels. starting from level 8 it is such a fun game. the strategy with the upgrades is insane. you can use them to always make a move. the lack of saving is really my main complaint, as it hinders the game from being something that you just continue whenever you want. solitaire is fun, but i can only play so many rounds at a time. yeah i can beat the game in a sitting, but the endless mode is where its at. thats when the game starts getting good. its when rng becomes a non factor and when the upgrades start being a more available tool with multiple upgraded cards. would the game save, im sure i would eventually get to level 52 to have only upgraded cards. with saving, i could see the game being more than "your okayest work".
