i really love the game concept. i was lost initially but it was very fun once it all clicked.
honestly don't have many major stuff to add onto. it's pretty well polished, music and art is pretty chill, and there's quite a diverse number of synergies and depth to it. for my minor suggestions, it'd probably be helpful if the possible card choices was highlighted a bit as well as a speed setting for the enemy turn.
overall, very well done! i'm looking forward to the progress of this freecellatro.
One feature I would recommend is to highlight the pass turn button when there are no possible actions, similar to Hearthstone. It lets the player play faster without actually helping them make any decisions and is generally just a comfy thing to have. Also I don't know if it's a mechanic that I missed or a weird coincidence, but it seemed like the shuffle was not working at times.
The deckbuilding options are cool and core gameplay is very good even if you've never played solitaire. Don't see any reason this won't blow up.
This feel more polished then ever. Still tons of fun getting a huge streak, or the exact item you needed. I've played before, so can't speak to how easy it is learn, but the tutorial did seem good, while not being overbearing.
No issues or bugs found. Game is just fun. Glad you got some recognition on itch front page as well!
The graphics are nice with the music. I think it's better than last time I played it. But there are two things I think I should say.
1. There should be a button in the main menu for the settings instead of only getting it with ESC key.
2. There is a lot of turns where it's mostly passing until someone gets a combo or making one small play to wait for a combo. With the heat mechanic, it usually means doing a lot the first turn, and then hoping you get lucky with draws. Interactivity would be nice on the enemy's turn in some shape or form with maybe having some abilities that does things on the opponents turn. I only played with the default character, so I'm not sure if I'm missing anything or not. You could already have this and I didn't realize it, since there is a lot in the demo.
It's a very nice game with nice sprites and music.
There's a button in the main menu, but the logo might not be obvious enough. There are some ways that I've tried to counteract the feeling of being stuck and relying on random draws, but the feedback is good so thanks

Thanks for playing and the kind words! I'm glad you like the music, I just learned to compose and was worried it would sound bad.
The pass turn highlight is a good idea that I'll probably implement in some form. The shuffle should be working, but I'll be testing it to be sure

Glad you found it fun, thanks for playing! I didn't notice the game had been algorithm boosted, thanks for letting me know
