#solitaire blitz

Re-playing my favorite level of one of my favorite games: Solitaire Blitz. I am a chronic Solitaire player since I could hold cards. I put Solitaire apps on everything. 

This is an awesome version! Again, another nice game with lots of options, levels that increase slowly, and good art. And it’s cute and silly. Did I mention it’s a lot of fun?

The pending sunset for SimCity Social, as part of EA’s decision to dump its entire Playfish Facebook portfolio, and Zynga’s very visible attempt to pivot to mobile has many asking if Facebook games are dead? Of course, that’s a classic overreaction to big news, which has more to do with publishers trying to figure out what works best in this disruptive moment in gaming history. 

Mike Rose at Gamesutra talked to a number of developers who are still developing games for the social network and seemed to think the platform is doing just fine. It’s a nice counter to the conversation but the commenters really pointed out it misplaced its efforts not examining what exactly Facebook has changed to make it a better gaming platform for all involved.

Now keep in mind, Facebook tends to change its mind – a lot – so one thing mentioned here today might be something they disregard in the near future (or are already). Nonetheless, it’s a great example of how and why game developers shouldn’t just view Facebook as a tool used to promote your mobile games and is still a viable way to generate new users and revenue (minus Facebook’s 30 percent, of course).

1. AppCenter gives Facebook a discovery channel on its own network. AppCenter isn’t huge and will never be an equivalent to Apple’s App Store but it is a great place for users to learn about new games and determine what might work for them. One way for Facebook to improve their channel is to create more engaging content.A partnership with a journalist site that already features a strong Facebook presence would be one direction. Apple has hired multiple gaming journalists for its editorial team, so it would also be a great move for Facebook to hire a small editorial staff to manage it App Center as well. Done well, this will pay off in dividends and prove to developers how serious you are about making sure great games on the platform are recognized as such.

2. Open Graph and EdgeRank are forcing developers to tell great stories, not just spam their users. Open Graph isn’t easy to just pick up and master. It takes a lot of effort and a team approach. Make sure a smart, sensible developer is handy because he or she will prove invaluable. But Facebook is making every effort it can to promote strong storytelling through the viral channels. That might not sound great for developers who want a K-factor circa 2008 but what it will do is promote engagement because people are interested and retention because people aren’t annoyed with your spam. I’d expect Facebook to continue finding ways to improve this process, which gives developers a great way to help players discover their game.

      3. Variety is the spice of life (and gaming). Facebook is built on the two pillars of engagement and retention. Give them something interesting and they’ll stick around. And when you’ve got more than a billion users, you’re going to need a lot of options. That’s why Facebook’s partnership with Unity is a wise one. Developers love using Unity and players love the fidelity the game engine provides. Unfortunately, Unity’s install base hasn’t hit critical mass, like Flash. That’s why Facebook is trying to help expand Unity’s install base, which would give themselves more inroads to deeper, synchronous player-versus-player games such as popular and successful online titles World of Tanks and League of Legends. If Facebook can succeed in growing this category, don’t be surprised if you start seeing stories about how Facebook gaming is back and better than ever before.

4. Mobile Facebook is just as good a platform as its web canvas. This might be the most important and most overlooked in the stories stemming from the news about EA shuttering its canvas games (it doesn't really mesh well with the idea that Facebook gaming is dying when mobile is making it more popular than ever before). PopCap isn’t leaving Facebook and recently launched Solitaire Blitz for iOS (I highly recommend if you like quick, twitchy card games.) and has several games coming down the pipeline. Facebook is striving to be device agnostic (well, save for Facebook Home, which I’m sure they’d like to see sell some Android devices that feature it) so it can advertise and engage to its customers wherever they want.

Hi guys, I´m Sirts and I had the chance to try out PopCaps new Facebook game. I have also tried Zuma Blitz and Bejeweled Blitz from FB games and from PopCaps "real" games I have played Zuma, Zumas Revenge, Bejeweled, Chuzzle, Peggle and Plants vs Zombies. I have tried more, but just once. 

So now about the Solitare Blitz.

The gameplay is rather easy. Just pick a card, that´s higher or lower from the card on the deck. If you find a fish between the cards it counts as a multiplier and also the only thing that you need to level up. Every level up gives a new card design to choose from and +3 energy. One energy is used for one game.

Also between the cards are key cards that have a marking on them, which open up to three slots. In every slot, there is a card for witch you can pick the higher or lower card for.

There is a chance to earn extra time if you get all your card rows below the timeline. Every row emptied gives 10K points and after a game a treasures witch have different values in silver coins. With silver you can buy bonuses, from extra time to various other boosts.

When you level up then your energy bar does not fill up, but you get 3 extra separate lives to use, then if you like you can gather them and play altogether. 

Of course there is a weekly leaderboard to compete with you friends, if there is any who play. And you can bother your friends also with sending them different quite worthless treasures. And to empty your credit card you can buy, energy, boosts, silver and card designs. What´s surprising is the price. They really think that someone will spend that kind of money for a FB game?

All and all it´s just a card game. If you like card games and don´t have anything to do, then go ahead. If you don´t like card games then this doesn't make you like them more. For me it wasn't neither relaxing nor interesting. I was also amazed that PopCap didn't put any more effort in to making some completely new game.
