From 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. ------WHATS IN THE “BOX”? - Play Flipflop Solitaire+ from 1-5 suits! - Track your best times, least moves, least undos, total wins, total plays, and more - Over 10,000 numbered deals for 1-5 suits - Over a hundred achievements - Change up your backgrounds, 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. -zach

Why make card colors hard to distinguish?
Sat Nov 18 2023 JavaAddict

This was the perfect game. My favorite game. I found it relaxing, even meditative. That is, until the first update in two years ruined the card colors. Now I can’t find a single color option that doesn’t have at least two suits that look nearly identical. Why? Seriously, why? Not all change is improvement. By all means, if you love monochromatic color schemes, keep ‘em. Keep ‘em all. But why take away color schemes that were easy to distinguish and… well, colorful? (I’m holding that 5th star hostage until the colors come back.) Now that my neurotic rant is over, kudos for excellent design, both in this game & Knotwords.

Fun, with a few minor caveats
Sun Dec 10 2023 Flambedude

Great game! There are two bugs I’ve run into that have annoyed me but nothing severe enough to make me stop playing: 1. If you do too much tapping on random stacks of cards or use too many fingers at once, the game will suddenly stop registering a movable stack as movable, so no amount of tapping or dragging or anything except a force quit and reopening the game will fix. 2. Tapping on cards moves them to stacks that can take them, or the top row. There are some weird king/ace bugs as far as what will stack upon a single tap, and what won’t therefore forcing manual placement. Overall, nothing that is so annoying as to make me uninstall the game (unlike a word game that wouldn’t recognise “raccoon” as an English word).

Fun game even in landscape mode
Mon Jul 10 2023 cheeriegirl

Great adaptation on the original Solitaire. What the developer doesn’t show in the screenshots is the game can be played in either portrait or landscape mode on an iPad. As others have stated, there is a server glitch. The number of wins differs based on the device I use — iPhone or iPad. I only have 1 iCloud account and I am signed in to that single iCloud account when I play. So, the levels, the game wins, and other achievements should be exactly the same regardless of the device.

Love this game!

Less is more. I have made it my goal to get every achievement and I’m still working on those win 1000 games and time goals. Any tips on how to improve speed? Every game is winnable, hit undo and try different moves, it works. The hint feature is great when your mind is numb after 50 games of trying to get the least moves possible or zero undos. Lots of simple challenges has made it worthwhile. Looked up Zach on the internet and he seems like a quiet genius, thanks for your imagination!

Good game, needs better iCloud sync
Wed Oct 13 2021 sprinklekitty77

I really enjoy this game for a quick break. The variations are all fun and I liked going through the different modes (one suite, two suites,…). I play on my iPad and my iPhone but the achievements don’t sync and neither does the progress through the numbered decks. I’d love to be able to pick up a different device and continue where I left off, no matter which device it was. After that change it’s an easy 5-star recommendation.

iCloud Sync broken
Sat Jul 02 2022 jewettg

I love playing this game, it challenging and well done. I like to play on my phone when I am out and about.. but I love playing on my iPad when I am at home (bigger screen). I was okay with the manual sync, until it stopped working. I can sync to the iCloud, but I can not get it to sync back into the game. I have beaten a bunch of levels and I want those games to sync to my iPad.. alas, it freezes as it attempt to load. (Yes, I know .. I have read the warning .. but the freeze lasts forever, I let it go, even not allowing my iPad to go to sleep and plugged in overnight.. still frozen in the AM) So please at minimum.. fix the manual sync, and if really want happy users.. please implement an auto-sync. THANKS!

Numerous small bugs that will never get fixed
Tue Aug 06 2024 NeilaDot

Like every other game from this developer / these developers (looks like this was predominantly by one of a pair), the game is riddled with small bugs that will never get fixed as the devs move on to their new hyperfixation/project. It’s incredibly annoying to have your “total plays” count arbitrarily go up when you’ve never abandoned a game. When you see your total wins number not budge with it, feels like every time you open it and play a level it’s telling you you’re a failure because you “gave up” — except you didn’t. And there isn’t even a way to reset your progress. Happens on numbered decks too. Also an annoying animation bug (with haptic response) after using the hint and then playing a hand from the deck where a card will fly up and make it seem like you did an additional move. Just like their sudoku and word games — I have zero faith these bugs will be addressed or the game ever updated.

THIS GAME IS FUN
Sun Sep 18 2022 Raptor136

I like it most because it is easy to learn and very hard to master all the variables. If I could suggest a change in a future upgrade I’d add a stat to the finish that shows your percentage of wins without using an undo. You get total games / total wins to show a win percentage. I’d also like to see total wins / total wins without an undo percentage. But, it is still a great game. Thank you.

Fun game. Two suggestions
Wed Jun 29 2022 Ray Writes

As someone who has played a ton of solitaire games on Solborne, I love this game. I have a couple of suggestions on stats. 1. Record streaks instead of winning percentage. I accidentally started a new game and now I’m uninterested in my not-100% winning percentage. Who cares about 99%? 2. Implement a streak saver that warns you when you are about to accidentally break a streak.

Great game, needs old color options.
Tue Nov 21 2023 Introcourse

Like many have said, this latest update changed the color scheme making it very difficult to distinguish cards in the 5 suit deals. This game is a perfect time killer and fun take on classic solitaire, but it is less enjoyable to play with these color changes.
