I love this game. I just totally zenned out on it and was just racking multipliers UP into the 20+ range. My score went ballistic.
I love this game. I only played it because it's named after a brilliant, tiny window manager; but it's just so incredibly ZEN.
Happytron: Yes, because education, thinking, and questioning are for losers! Be a clone, just like everyone else! Stop thinking, it's hard! This will allow you to avoid slavery!
alasthopeforman: Actually, using the '3 card turn' rule, some decks are NOT winnable in Klondike. Other solitaires, yes.
And yes, I'd like to see Xix expand this to do more forms of Solitaire (:
Very well done - plays like an arcade game (though the ramp-up to hard isn't quite as steep as arcade games.) Only issue was that as I hit level 7, it opened a popup to it's webiste, which took control away from my game, and I died ):
Each day's puzzle is the same puzzle - all day long. All. Day. Long.
So no, it doesn't shuffle until the next day. You have to take a random puzzle for that.
Playing daily helps - and the ingame 'overall top scores' are tallied over a week. That helps with those 'impossible' puzzles that pop up some days (the daily puzzle is based on the date.)
the number of colored sprites is causing my machine to bog, making it pretty much impossible to control. Very frustrating when you wait half a second for the mouse to move, and then it warps you right into where you know the maze is... and you die.
You can maintain that gaming 'should be free!' but I think you'll find Nintendo, Capcom, Sony, EA, Real, Microsoft, Activision, and even, as Xix has noted, Kongregate, disagree. The big 'boxed games' companies charge up front; Xix and similar authors as well as Kongregate are charging a voluntary fee in arrears.
Now, let's just move on, have some fun playing games, and try not to cause any of the authors who are being creative and trying to make something fun for us to enjoy to quit because people won't let them do it independently - forcing them to go work for a big, faceless company that won't let them be innovative.
You're within your rights to not play it, but if you play it, you may see the ads. You still do not have to click on them.
You can even complain about the ads. But no, you're not right in thinking that 'crap like that shouldn't be in a game.' Especially considering this is what the game INDUSTRY is doing now - EA sports, for example, licensing ads for use in their Madden franchise, Battlefield 1942...
