There is a LOT going on here. The bones are solid- the game play is solid. I'm definitely going to need to play around with this a lot more! One thing that I would recommend is having the "card highlight" setting be on by default instead of being off by default. At first you might think players will think that is handholding, but imo, most players aren't playing a Solitaire Roguelike to test their skill of matching suits and ranks- their playing for the fun strategy that comes from that. Having the highlight offloads a bit of the cognitive load and allows the player to focus on the actual important strategy parts of the game. Also, it acts as a 'soft' tutorial for the player where they can visually see how the main solitaire mechanic works out.
Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback, we really appreciate it!
Great point about the card highlight, it makes sense, the game is quite hard to understand as is since we dont have a fully fleged tutorial yet, and having it on by default can help in the beginning for new players! We’ll definitely look into adjusting that.
Thanks again for taking the time to play and share your thoughts, it really helps!
