loved it for the format, hated it for the 3-card stack

This is literally so good and I am learning I'm so hilariously bad at solitaire I've come back three separate times to try to beat it. oh my god this is so embarrassing

to be fair, it is a stupidly punishing variant

lovely

Most of these are just good advice for finishing a draft of something, honestly.

Anyway I hope someone actually finishes this evil thing. "Make a game with secrets nobody will find" is the kind of gauntlet throw I can see ruining the exact right person's life, and I love that for you.

This game is just baffling. It doesn't even have a name. Who was this even made for?

It's just a bad knockoff of solitaire, but it has no instructions, it's ugly, it's unfinished, the fifth suit is totally unbalanced and basically lets me cheat, and it's covered in this weird text that is uncomfortably personal. It even doesn't support my controller. There's no settings screen, so the resolution is stuck at this really awkward aspect ratio, it's probably got all kinds of content that nobody is ever going to find, and since it's got the same mechanics as solitaire, it's not even fair. It's not addictive in the slightest. There are no meaningful decision to make here. This is less than the minimum, it feels like it was made with spaghetti code. It's honestly so bad, it's laughable. This game is pointless. I am glad I played it.

Started writing down all points after being unable to do anything and only then did I realise the point. Wonderfully evil game, will make sure to follow in it’s teachings in future.

You've gotta be a real sick bastard to come up with something like this. Jealous
