Zachtronics Solitaire v1.4

★★★★★

IHeart16Bit

The same great game as it is on PC, now portable! It does come with the caveat that it isn't formatted all that well for the smaller screen, and there's no aspect ratio adjustment so some text may be a little small and cards fiddly to interact with depending on your device. A tablet would be the ideal way to play. Ports of more Zachtronics games would be very cool, as unlikely as it may be at this time!

This is a pretty direct port of the Zachtronics solitaire collection from PC. Lovely variations, beautifully stylized, and uniquely hard - you won't find undo*, or a no more moves indicator. Only a win counter and a rule book. All of the variations are very fun and stylized. -1 star because there is no GUI scaling or other phone related improvements to help avoid misclicks. It is also looks like it is locked to 16:9. But probably the best solitaire collection you'll find on mobile.

The unique takes on solitaire are nice but this app is very bare bones and not at all utilized for phones. The font is extremely small and next to impossible to read which is a pretty big deal when you're playing something with unique rules. As for stat tracking, each game counts the # of wins but that's it. That doesn't really take away from the enjoyment of the game, but again very basic. Some user friendly improvements would go a long way but as is, its obvious that it wasn't meant for phones

No autosave, which is pretty essential on phones that close apps. They didn't bother scaling the UI which brings out broken games sometimes and is borderline irresponsible. Everything is too small. I'd give this 5 stars if it had a "mouse" mode where you were able to drag and tap to control a virtual mouse. Currently everything is too small to interact with and it feels like I'm paying for the exact same game as in pc, twice. If it was priced differently I might recommend it to a solitaire fan.

In terms of actual game quality, this is a 5/5. Smartly designed solitaire variants with a range of complexity. Starting new games is quick and the lack of an undo in most variants forces you to become good at strategizing. However... The lack of options for customization is abysmal. A locked aspect ratio and unoptimized displays leads to tons of dead space on my screen, tiny text, and hitboxes which are small. Adding this would boost my rating significantly.
