Solatro: A Solitaire Roguelike by NotExplosive
I love Solitaire but I hate losing. What if you could power up your cards to make the game easier to win?
Solatro is Klondike Solitaire with a few small tweaks:
- Adding a card to the Collection gains points equivalent to that card's rank.
- When you get enough points, you can upgrade one of your cards, and then start a new round.
- Upgrades add new ways to move and place cards.
Controls
You do everything with the mouse. Right click will move a card to the next available spot if there is a valid move for it to make.

I have been playing this for HOURS now and will continue to play it, I really loved how all this came together, its chill and not stressful and feels nice to play.
If I would suggest something I would like to see a key or legend for what the different power ups, it was a bit hard to differentiate them after playing for a while. The only minor issue I had was when the cards would fly off to be counted for the score any card with a powerup wouldn't be taken and I would have to manually move it
Either way! fantastic job! I would love to see this expanded upon
Aw yeah! Victory! I could see a lot more modifiers to cards and even maybe other options. I could see this also hitting a pretty wide audience, like my mom would enjoy playing this on her tablet. The only thing that I wish it did was either not automatically grabbing all my cards up to the Ace piles or letting me drag cards back down from there. Ran into a couple runs where it broke some of my plans by grabbing a card I was going to use in another move before moving up to the top.
I also wish a game didn't auto end but you just racked up points for your stack for when you end a game. Not having the points go down on a reset seems like it would let you feel like you are progressing even when you lose. Could see getting card modifiers that like triple points etc so you put it on Kings for mass points or lower cars for more consistent points per round. Tons of options really! Could definitely see this doing well on mobile.
