The airships have found rare dragons eggs in: Solitaire Dragons

Today I bring you a very fast and simple game. I won't take too much time to go over things as Solitaire is a pretty standard card game that most people know how to play.

A quick reminder of how the game works is a goal of moving all the cards into 4 separate piles of all matching suit. You move cards around the board by moving an opposite color but lower notation card ontop of the higher card. You can only place cards in descending order and you can never put a higher level card next. You can also double tap a card and it will move it from where ever it is to an 'legal' move be it to the ace pile or to a play stack. Once you have the board solved, all cards automatically move to the ace piles for you.

You unlock gold coins for beating levels. As far as I can tell you can only win 10 coins per game you win. Sometimes you can't win a solitaire game and have to replay from the start.

You get to ollect many random presents for playing daily. When you get a coin day, you have a chance to watch a video to gain a boost to your coins.

As you progress along and grow levels you get access to dragon eggs. Each one costs coins to buy and then takes time to hatch. As far as I can tell these are just small little pets thast get added to the game that doesn't really change anything for the game except have animations of a pet dragon as you play.

You can only hatch one egg at a time at the start of the game. You can pay coins to buy new slots to expand the number of eggs you can have hatching at one time.

Lastly you can buy coins if you really want that rarer dragon but you still have to play a lot to be able to unlock them all anyways.

Overall:

 3 of 5 cogs.

Overall this game is average in every way. It doesn't have any flaws or glitches that I've found but it doesn't really do anything more for Solitaire except for adding an on screen kind of pet. 

Story:

 0 of 5 cogs.

Nope, no story at all unless you look up the history of the person that created Solitaire.

Amount of ads:

 

 many

After you get past level 5 you start to get a video everytime after you complete a playthrough. To avoid this you can play with airplane mode on.

Accurate Advertising?:

80%

This game is one that has been shown a lot the past few days again. The ads for this game does try to hype up the dragons and act like they help you in a game. They literally do nothing special.

Graphics:

 3 of 5 cogs.

The graphics are average quality art that could possibly be found in any asset library. There isn't anything that sets the graphics apart or make them memeroable. 

Gameplay:

 3 of 5 cogs.

This is a solid game that will keep most people that play solitaire happy for some time. It is the same classic version of the card game you can find anywhere. The ads can become annoying sometimes as well but as I've recommended before you can play in airplane mode.

Free play:

💯%

You can play as much as you want for as long as you want. There is no energy or other things that make you stop playing every few seconds. This is a game you can play stress free when you have any spare time.

Fun factor:

😐 average.

Are you an indy programmer or game dev?

If so, you can leave a comment or contact me on social media for a chance to have an interview with you posted to my blog. I am looking for many devs that focus on mobile programming. If you have a cross-platform game, that is fine too as long as it's on mobile.

The Burnable Garbage Day

The steam bots help clean up the world on: The Burnable Garbage Day

Please share this blog to others on any social media platform. If you enjoy these reviews consider leaving a donation through paypal at the bottom of the blog to help cover costs.

I've seen this game floating around and maybe seen 1 ad for this. A Burnable Garbage Day is a game that follows a similar story to Wall-e by Disney. You play as a cleaning robot that wakes up one day to... trash as far as it can see. Some strange event happened that nearly destroyed the world and the robot must clean up every piece of junk to make the world better again.

This game is like Klondike and Dragonscapes. You expend energy to clear up trash by clicking on it. Each single tile takes up 1 energy and you gain experience as you do. The start of this game moves along very fast. There is no currency in this game, even though the rubble you pick up can be considered a form of currency. With that said, there is no premium currency you have to by.

Your base is a place where you idly create different things from the town's you rescure and build up. Each town requires different objects that you find as you explore the world. You can spend rubble to instantly produce products if you need them for a quest.

This is the screen you get for clicking on rapid producer. You have to use multiples of 50 rubble to produce products instantly. This helps you complete quests faster.

The item production will create stuff on it's own every few seconds. So far in this game you seem to end up with hundreds of items when you really don't use all of them. There may be some use for all these extra items later on, possibly other cities requiring hundreds of items in later areas.

The robot upgrade screen. As you find blueprints you can upgrade the power of the rubble drill and battery.

In this game you get a 'voice assistant' that will give you various information throughout the game. As you can see in this screenshot, you can see the upgrades available for the drill and battery. This game is very generious with energy. Every minute you regain 1 energy with the basic battery. Plus you are given quite a few extra batteries to recharge your energy. You also have optional Ads you can watch to earn a battery as well.

The map screen shows you how much of the area you have cleaned. So far you have to clear 70% of an area to unlock a new one. As you progress you find more blueprints that allow you to upgrade the cleaning robot to do more things.

As you progress you will find at least 2 towns and 1 ruins in each area. These buildings offer quests and different materials to further expand future towns.

Overall:

 5 of 5 cogs.

This game is simple but has a certian charm to it. This doesn't appear to be a very long game at all but it is nice to see a game with a clear end to it.

Story:

 5 of 5 cogs.

There is a lot of story in this game. By far more than most mobile games I've ever played. The game I think takes some influence from Wall-e but there are a few rough translations spots as this game is not natively english.

Amount of ads:

 Medium

After level 10 you get a forced video Ad everytime you level. You can pay to remove this but it is not really that big of a bother.

Accurate Advertising?:

💯%

From what I remember of the one video Ad I seen and the screen shots, this game is completely accurate and doesnt try to use any trickery to get you to play.

Graphics:

5 of 5 cogs.

The graphics are highly detailed pixel art. A lot of shaders are used in this game and it may be possible this game was created using GameMaker Studio. The graphics and text are easy to see on a mobile screen and is clear.

Gameplay:

 4 of 5 cogs.

The game has easy controls and works very well on a mobile device. The rubble removal can be a bit tedius and repetitive which can possibly lead to becoming boring. With all of that said, the game seems short enough so someone should be able to finish the game before that point.

Free play:

💯%

The game is very easy to play without paying anything into it.

Fun factor:

🤖 sci-fi.
