The gameplay is a creative twist on solitaire, featuring enjoyable mechanics and a charming art style set in a beautiful fantasy world. As players progress through increasingly challenging stages, they must employ strategic thinking to navigate obstacles and utilize companions effectively, ensuring that the experience remains engaging and fresh. The game offers a variety of levels and an expansive map, enhancing its replayability.
“Essentially solitaire, but with different card formations and obstacles to make gameplay more interesting.”
“Despite the luck element involved, every game also requires a certain amount of thinking, like how to make the best use of your companions for instance, given limited energy, and the order in which board cards should be removed, etc. because games get progressively harder and more interesting (due to new elements being introduced), gameplay is kept fresh.”
“Someone really took a beautiful fantasy world and made solitaire the gameplay.”

The monetization strategy of the game is criticized for being heavily reliant on pay-to-win mechanics and intrusive advertisements encouraging in-app purchases, particularly for extra cards. While players can progress without spending money, it often requires significant patience due to limited resources like lives and hearts.
“For this one, I never made any in-app purchases. You don't have to in order to play; you just have to have the patience to wait for lives to build back up before moving on.”
“In-game purchases? No, thank you.”
“It's okay, but it requires a lot of pay-to-win mechanics and ads for buying this and that. You don't get enough hearts to start with in the first place.”
“The only negatives I will mention are the intrusiveness of the 'buy extra cards' ads or messages. I don't need to buy extra cards!”
