Update: I heard back from the developer. They said “purchases are optional”. I agree, but, not if you want to regularly play the game. I get they want to make money, but maybe make it a “one time purchase” (a free version and a paid version) or something. I just logged in, and before I even got to the screen to play, there were 4 ads to buy extra coins with different “deals”. I got my daily coin bonus (2600 or so coins) but it takes almost 10,000 coins to play a round and if you want any boosters (extra card, wild card), those cost 15,000 coins or more! My review stands. Good game, but too much of a money grab to play regularly. ———————————————- I like this game but don’t really play anymore because the “cost” per hand is too expensive. If you are not careful, you could end up spending lots of REAL money competing levels as the coins needed to start each level, add card (if you run out) or play a wild card (if you’re stuck) often end up being significantly more than you earn if you win a level and to continue you need to buy coins using real money.

One of the biggest selling points on this games marketing is there’s no advertisements while you play the game. To compensate monetarily for this, the game makes it hard to successfully play more than 2 games per hour without having to spend virtual coins for power ups. Once you run out of coins, you are prompted to purchase more coins with actual money. The ‘randomness’ in this game does not feel truly random at all. Too often, the more games you play after your daily rewards, the worse the hand you’re given gets. I agree with many other reviews that you shouldn’t expect to win unless you pay, either virtual coins or actual money. Honestly, I really rather have ADs in the game if it means the ‘randomness’ gets skewed to the players favor rather than the games, or at least somewhere in the middle. You barely get any coins in return for what you spend. The graphics in the game are adorable and I like the selection of scenes they’ve chosen. However, the tactics to get players to spend real money are very sad and I would rather have ADs than have to deal with a game that’s unjustly skewed. I hope they change that soon because I’m honestly getting tired of this game. Many other reviewers feel fatigued too quickly because the odds aren’t in your favor. I understand that the game developers must profit somehow, but the tactics being pushed too far to the point you’re likely not going to keep player retention in the long run.

I really, really enjoy this. I like solitaire, obviously! But having familiar Disney characters/scenes to unlock along these way makes it a bit more magical and fun. The visual style and playful music within the game remind me of the Disney Getaway app game. I looooved that game until I had to start over when it moved to Apple Arcade. So finding this one that is similar in every way except game play was exciting. My only critique is that I wish the theme of the level correlated with the scene you are in. Ideally it would be in sync with the scene you’re working on. Ex: when working on unlocking the frozen scene, the background behind the cards would be frozen themed and the music would be one of the tunes from the movie. There’s already music from the movies playing when you aren’t in a game! It would just help it feel more connected to the goal of finishing a scene. Alternatively, when you finish a scene, you unlock a theme and you choose which theme you want for your cards. You could even do it separately so you can customize having the visual theme you want and a different music theme, if the user would want. OR! As far as the music goes, the little instrumental versions that already exist in game could be on a playlist and you can customize it so only the ones you want play, and of course you unlock more as you go! This is a very minor, kind of aesthetic thing. The game itself is awesome and addictive as is!
