Solitaire Sunset - sneak peak!
Hello everyone,
I hope you’re having a good week so far, I wanted to share some details on my next game - Sunset Solitaire!
Card games has always been close to my heart I think they often work exceptionally well on screens if you don’t happen to have a deck to play with. For Sunset Solitaire I wanted to create a really cozy feeling where you can just forget about time and keep arranging cards. There are currently four different game types bundled but it wouldn’t be an Apskeppet game if there wasn’t a little twist to it! Whilst you play each game, you earn score which add up between games and is used to unlock new pixel art card backs to keep the game visually varied. Also, complete the basic version of each solitaire game to unlock hard mode for that specific game!
Many solitaire games are quite different from each other so I’ve made sure to include a rules sheet with each game for easy rules lookup. In Golf for instance (as seen below) the player must match the top card with cards either one above or one below.
It is always a challenge to cram in a lot information on pico8’s tiny screen, but I think I’ve found a good sweet spot between readability and playability. There’s a bit of polish left to do but there’s already a really good feel to the game and I’m can’t wait to release it!
Last but not least…
Don’t forget to wishlist picoSYNTH on Steam which is coming out in just a few weeks.
