Klondike's Hike: A Solitaire Roguelike

It is a solitaire roguelike with, in my opinion, a lot of potential. However, it is really short, quite buggy, and seems to have been abandoned by the developer during early access, with the last update being 15 months ago. Also, this might just be me, but something about the color scheme makes my eyes hurt quite a bit, so I can only play it in the smallest window available. Shame, if the developer comes back, starts working on the game again, fixes the issues, and adds more content, I would 100% recommend it. But in its current state, I’m not sure it’s worth it, even if it’s free. I can’t say if the bugs are only in the Linux version or not (I would guess not), but overall, the Linux version is definitely playable.

Very short. No game options. It's a rogue game where you advance on map going through dots to reach the dot of the boss. Boring. It's only a series of klondike game where you drawn three cards, win powerups, and some cards debuff your game (like making the cards on it stick, or scambling the sorted stacks of the board). There is no concept beyond that. No "ennemies" to "fight" It's all very static. You can't double click cards for them to go in the ace piles, you have to drag drop everything up intil the kings, on the ace pile, everything. And then, a button appear "Attack". That means that you get some money. That you can use to buy powerups if you move on a "store" instead of a kolodike game / fight dot on the map. There are some visual bugs (while you hod a long stack two thirds of the stack don't show), sometime the cards resolved on the ace piles visually stack as if theywere on the board), and a bug that make cards disappear forever into the next game, making the current one impossible to solve. The screen resolution probably won't fit your sceen: you'll either have a tiny window, one that covers it vertically only, or one too big. But I can't downvote it in good …

Great Game but look at that kitty, whoever pass by can pet it and give it a thumbs up. Have a nice day :3 　　　 　　／＞　　フ 　　　 　　| 　_　 _ l 　 　　 　／` ミ＿xノ 　　 　 /　　　 　 | 　　　 /　 ヽ　　 ﾉ 　 　 │　　|　|　| 　／￣|　　 |　|　| 　| (￣ヽ＿_ヽ_)__)

Was super fun and had me work my brain out! Defo wish it was longer but again it was super fun! Has some replayability atm so if im feinding I shall give it another shot!

Roguelites are my favorite genre, I'll start with that. I've played a couple of the big name ones, like Hades, Balatro, Peglin, and Slay the Spire. These are all of course better polished, but don't take that to mean this game doesn't understand what it wants to be, or is bad. As it stands, this game is ultimately described best as "solitaire with a little more randomness, and also a cute otter is there." I don't think I'd recommend this yet, but with more work I could easily see that change. Looking a little further into Klondike, being a little more generically user-friendly, and overall just having more to be seen could take this far. I hope the game sees more work, and if it does I hope to see what's changed. Until then, I'd recommend just giving this game about half an hour, reviewing it with what you'd want out of it, then going and playing solitaire with a physical pack of cards.

cozy little game, shows promise, currently it's a bit bare bones, but it's fun I'd love to see a bit more enemy variety, for now they're a bit samey, but it's still early in dev. note that you only need to get enough points to beat the enemy, so except for the boss you can just get to 3 or 4 on 2 columns to win, which makes it a lot easier than you'd expect klondike with dealing 3 cards to be. once you get a few rewards, the game becomes a lot easier to beat even with bad RNG, being able to ignore fully or partially color and rank makes it easy to stack the odds in your favor. plus you don't need to use the bonus right away, you can wait to use them on the perfect card to get you out of a sticky situation.
