Flipflop Solitaire Zach Gage From the creator of Sage Solitaire, comes a new Solitaire variant that breaks all the rules! 100% of deals are solvable… Free Buy Now Watch Media DetailsFrom the creator of Sage Solitaire, comes a new Solitaire variant that breaks all the rules! 100% of deals are solvable! Like its footwear namesake — Flipflop Solitaire is unrestrictive, creating a new game for fans of spider, klondike and other traditional Solitaires. In Flipflop you can stack down, up, or even both ways on a single stack! Need to stack an 8 on a 7, or a club on a spade? No problem! - but - Be careful, you can only move a stack of a single suit! It's fun and freeing, but still challenging and captivating. It's Flipflops for your brain. ------WHAT CRITICS ARE SAYING "I'm in love with it already"..."Once you start, it's hard to stop playing." - App Advice "Truly special" — Game of the Week - Touch Arcade "Surprisingly absolutely brilliant" - Cult of Mac "A perfect diversion with just the right amount of challenge, delight, and depth to make it a must-have iOS game." - Mac Stories "A Breath of Fresh Air" - Gamezebo ------WHATS IN THE “BOX”? - Play Flipflop Solitaire from 1-4 suits for free! - Unlock 5 Suit, and 1 Suit Extended with a single in-app-purchase of .99 - Track your best times, least moves, least undos, total wins, total plays, and more - Unlock over 1000 numbered deals for 1-5 suits via in-app-purchase - Over a hundred achievements - Unlockable backgrounds, alternate card and card back color schemes - Natural ambient binaural background audio - A strong sense of relaxation ------A WORD FROM THE DEVELOPER Flipflop Solitaire is sort of a sequel to Sage Solitaire in the sense that it's my second crack at the design problem of making a Solitaire game that feels like it was designed for your phone and not for a table. To be honest this is how I wish everyone approached sequels. Usually a sequel takes the solution to a problem and duplicates it. This is why our expectations of game sequels are often more-of-the-same-but-better. I'd rather see more sequels that brought a renewed level of surprise and novelty, and I'm hoping that's what you find in Flipflop Solitaire. While Sage was all about trying to capture the feeling of a tight, easy to play, tough to win, zen solitaire game, Flipflop is about knots. In a typical Solitaire game, like Klondike, you're taking a knot of cards and untying it into sequences. Then you reverse those sequences into clean ordered stacks. In Flipflop you take your knot of cards and tie it into other, hopefully better knots. Then you untie those knots into the final ordered stacks. Having so much control over the way your intermediary knots are constructed led to a lot more depth than I expected. I hope you enjoy this game as much as I've enjoyed discovering it. -zach Information Seller:Zach Gage Genre:Card, Puzzle, Strategy Release:Nov 09, 2017 Updated:May 25, 2021 Version:1.4.2 Size:143.7 MB TouchArcade Rating:Unrated User Rating: (3) Your Rating:unrated Compatibility:HD Universal vectorarchitekt Well-Known Member Dec 29, 2013 2,489 177 63 #2 vectorarchitekt, Nov 9, 2017 Awesome as always!

(Ive only been playing two suits) This is Excellent. I really liked Sage Solitaire. Im liking this a lot MORE. I know some people who could get hooked on this. Really brilliant new mechanic here. Opens up so much flexibility during play. Ill be spreading the word. Mr Gage may be a genius. PBSNellie Well-Known Member Jul 7, 2013 1,380 168 63 Southern CA #11 PBSNellie, Nov 10, 2017 Thanks for another great game. As usual, instabought the IAP because I can depend on your games being of the highest quality. Maybe you can do something fun with poker next. stfj Well-Known Member Sep 18, 2009 227 39 28 Male #12 stfj, Nov 10, 2017 thanks so much for all the nice comments! I'm very glad you're all enjoying the game! @slewis7 weird! I'll start digging around to try and figure it out slewis7 Well-Known Member Apr 6, 2011 3,768 41 48 Male Retired! Houston, TX #13 slewis7, Nov 10, 2017 @stfj I had an ace disappear again today when dragging it up to the top. I think I was not aiming it very well towards one of the slots. I hope you can reproduce this. stfj Well-Known Member Sep 18, 2009 227 39 28 Male #14 stfj, Nov 10, 2017 I just figured it out. Thanks! It'll be patched in the next update. in the meanwhile, watch out when dragging an ace near the upper right corner slewis7 Well-Known Member Apr 6, 2011 3,768 41 48 Male Retired! Houston, TX #15 slewis7, Nov 11, 2017 Last edited: Nov 11, 2017 @stfj Awesome! In non-bug news, I have now won at least 1 game of each type! 5 suits took me a dozen tries to win. This game gets really tough when you play with more then 2 suits; I am pretty sure I have a good grasp of how to play, but even with plenty of skill, it seems mostly a matter of luck in these game types. I guess that is typical of solitaire and I am finding it enjoyable regardless. Also, why is this game such a battery drainer? I have set the game’s switch to conserve battery and that helps a lot, but it still seems to eat battery more then I would expect for a game of this type. bobish Well-Known Member Jun 8, 2013 143 0 16 #16 bobish, Nov 11, 2017 This is a lot of fun. Really enjoying it. Frequent crashes on iPhone 6 running 10.3.3. stfj Well-Known Member Sep 18, 2009 227 39 28 Male #17 stfj, Nov 11, 2017 @bobish what a rollercoaster of a comment! haha I'll start looking into the crashes once the reports show up on apple. sorry about the issue! @slewis7 running 60fps definitely drains the battery, also i think all the overhead of Unity goin on jptsetung Well-Known Member May 27, 2009 156 0 0 #18 jptsetung, Nov 11, 2017 Last edited: Nov 11, 2017 Really great game. My strategy is not clear yet, but it usually ends up in making a huge pile of cards in order to free a column, or to discover a new card in a pile. With the undo, you can probably complete every game, no ? I read somewhere that 99% of games are doable, I'm curious about those 1% of game that can't be achieved . Sometimes I was frustrated not being able to stack more than 20 cards on a pile. It looks like an artificial limitation (due to the fact that implementing a scrolling pile would have been a nightmare I guess). Great game, congratulations. stfj Well-Known Member Sep 18, 2009 227 39 28 Male #19 stfj, Nov 11, 2017 @jptsetung there are a few very rare configurations of cards that can be dealt out where too many cards repeat and aren't relatable close enough to be stackable. it came up exactly one time during testing bobish Well-Known Member Jun 8, 2013 143 0 16 #20 bobish, Nov 12, 2017 @bobish what a rollercoaster of a comment! haha I'll start looking into the crashes once the reports show up on apple. sorry about the issue! Haha! I probably didn't word that post very well. I am having a great time with this. Is the 99% solve rate for all play modes or only the single suit? (You must log in or sign up to post here.)

@jptsetung there are a few very rare configurations of cards that can be dealt out where too many cards repeat and aren't relatable close enough to be stackable. it came up exactly one time during testing
