Looks great. However, since I have like 7 or 8 versions of Klondike type HD graphics solitaire - I will be anxiously awaiting some impressions on playability, etc. I don't mind getting another, but it better work pretty darn well...

I also have a ton of solitaire games for my iPad.

I will wait on this one.

Plus, it was plastered all over the coming soon thread that it was going to be free.

Now the developer has conveniently disappeared.

I thought that was the case, although I could not find the information on this. It still could turn out to be a great solitaire game... but as you are doing, will wait on this..

No. I like the style of the cards but would love to see it in motion. Already has 10 five star reviews, none written.:rolleyes:

If it plays well, it is probably worth the price, too bad the dev didn't mention the change from free since some of us were watching this for the last few months.

I have not seen one yet, and unfortunately no impressions either. I am pretty sure that Espada will be on the boards before too long. We'll see what they say about the change from free but I can't really blame them - I thought it was crazy from the beginning. I'm more interested in how it plays. I thought that there were some issues with frame rate, etc with their Battle of the Block game..

also - it now has 15 5 star reviews... Hmm.....

Just Klondike only? :(
Sorry, in that case, I'll pass on this.
Put Freecell in it though, and I'll buy it at any price! :)

Just gone free wish I had waited a little harsh on those who have just bought too then bring out a price drop so soon but hey at least it helps to keep game development going :)

There is only one rather easy type of solitaire inside (Klondike) and the graphics aren't as good as the first screenshot, but it's very well playable on iPhone 3G. Thanks.

I was wondering the same thing, Squeaker. The price was just dropped 7 hours ago, according to the New Games page.

Jul 01 '10 $1.99 -> Free

Wow that's messed up. Wasn't even free for 24 hours as stated it would.

Shame that the developer went back on their word of keeping it free for 24 hours but can't really blame them as they need to make money somehow.

07-01-2010, 03:46 PM
I guess the free was for the hemisphere opposite the US... Since not too many people are up at 1 AM, and was not free by 8 Am from the posts above... Oh well - serves me right for expecting to sleep at night, and work during the day...

Hopefully Espada will correct this as it appears that they really did intend to make it free for at least opening day. If not, - well I will wait on impressions...

I don't mind paying but the ad said weekly and moment prizes but I've never herd from the dev to see if they are standing by that. Anyone even know the dev of this game?

Sxethang
07-01-2010, 04:43 PM
I had a brief moment to talk to him. And as far as prizes go, I won one yesterday. :D

The game is very well designed with beautiful visuals. The only thing it lacks is variety. Only one type of solitaire is not enough.

@eugekava -

The dev sort of implies that the visuals become intrinsic to the game play?? Do the gears get involved, or is everything steampunk strictly visual environment, and the game is klondike, albeit nice looking?

There are SO many variations of solitaire on in the appstore. Do people really buy one over the other based on the art style?

Went ahead and paid full price, it actually is a nice solitare game but very basic gameplay. Let's see if I can snag a prize for my efforts.

@lacedolphin too bad u paid full, it just went on sale for .99!

I decided to pick it up, and I really enjoy it. Currently #9 on the leaderboard!?! WOOHOO!

This looked good and it is probably a game I would have purchased -- especially at $0.99. Lord knows, I've bought waaaay too many apps so far! :-)

However, I am not overly impressed by how the publisher is doing business. There is too much saying one thing and doing another, being visible and then disappearing, etc. I prefer to support independent developers that treat their customers with respect.
