“Forbidden Solitaire is a brilliantly addictive experience that manages to balance a spooky, creepypasta-like narrative with genuinely fun solitaire mechanics.”

[Helen Carmichael @BCHezza]

Happy National Solitaire Day!
To celebrate we have just updated Forbidden Solitaire with a New Game+ difficulty mode, which is balanced for players who own all gems+jokers and features harder puzzle and combat levels.
Enjoy!

I’m pleased to report that after 1 week Forbidden Solitaire has beaten my medium target with a Birkett ratio of 0.23

Huge thanks to everyone who bought, reviewed, streamed, and told their friends about it!

Hopefully year 1 sales will also be good so we can keep making games.

You can select any level to start on and various standing conditions including your jokers/gems/gold/bloodstones, and filter to puzzle or combat levels, disable the story, and choose limited lives if you dare! More settings coming soon.

@podopriguez Many congratulations Andrei! It’s great to see a success story at what seems like a difficult time for many in the industry 🤩

@IndieGameJoe Is this a reference to a write up of your strategy by a certain marketing expert? Great job & it’s good for devs to realise the effort behind the scenes.

[Jake Birkett - Veteran Indie @GreyAlien]

Median playtime for Forbidden Solitaire = 4hrs 23mins. The game is about 4-6hrs long and quite a lot of people play it multiple times. Plus we have an update coming to extend playtime for those who want it.
