Official Description (Ad Blurb)

Solitaire or bowling? Two in one!

Complete 120 levels in Strike Solitaire!

The game utilizes a unique setting for solitaire games where the action takes place in bowling hotels offering a wide range of recreation services and outdoor sporting activities. All levels are split into 12 packs, 10 levels each. Each level symbolizes one frame of a bowling match.

All levels look like a solitaire set of cards. Players should remove matching pairs of cards from the game board in order to complete all the level goals. The goal of each level is to remove 10 special skittle cards from the game board.

By doing that, players earn money. The amount of money players receive on each level depends on the type of the matching cards and the multiplier.

Upon the completion of each level, players also earn scores (just like they would earn scores for each frame in a bowling match). The number of points earned within the whole frame is calculated according to the attained scores.

Fiendish in places

The Good
There are some solitaire games that give you loads of different games to play - this is not one of those. This is a simple game made progressively more difficult by the clever arrangement of the cards - see a king; see another king; click on both; poof they disappear and any cards they were hiding are revealed. Repeat until all the special cards have been cleared - you don't even have to clear all the cards.

The Bad
There's not much to dislike about this game because it is simple and easy to play. The only thing that irritated me occurred during the first game when I'd accumulated some points and the game appeared to lock up. It was not locked at all, it was forcing me to go to the shop to buy a bonus I did not want as part of the tutorial and I missed the first message.

The Bottom Line
This is a simple game with a novel scoring system, OK artwork, OK music and OK sound. What makes it challenging and lifts it above some of the other games of this type is the clever level design.
