]]> Yes, it’s been a bit quiet around here lately, but rest assured that we’re busy working away on our next title, as well as re-arranging things so that Claymore Games becomes our primary interest.

The success of Super Solitaire (which has now sold around 20,000 copies worldwide!) has spurred us on and has given us the confidence to take the leap and attempt to go (more or less) full time with Claymore and games development in general. This will be a long transitional period, but we’ll get there in the end. There’s plans to tidy up this website a bit to make it easier to update so you can hear how we’re doing and what we’re working on.

But, for now, here’s an interview of yours truly, by Phil Harris of SquareGo fame…

Pocket Gamer – Super Solitaire

Not solitaire in the way you might expect, but a little bit super, Super Solitaire is the perfect puzzler for a spare five minutes. Its more prudent puzzles contrast nicely with its non-stop action arcade side

]]> Announcing the launch of our first in-house developed mobile game Super Solitaire. The game is a new version of the classic board game Solitaire where we have reproduced the original board game but also added a few extras! Features include an arcade mode, which requires players to remove a certain number of balls before they can move onto the next board; a scoring system including a multiplier bar – which fills up with each jump, but decreases with time; and two unique puzzle modes, one which requires players to remove all but one ball and the other which requires them to fill or empty a particular shape. Super Solitaire is available now and we are already seeking partners for distribution.
