The Spider Solitaire by Quadrimind has a simple and intuitive interface with a smart gameplay that provides a dynamic game experience even in portable devices. Main characteristics: - Larger and optimized cards easier to be seen and clicked; - Ability to restart the same game; - Card moving sounds; - Game tips that show potentially useful moves; - Stunning animations. Some features: - 3 difficulty levels; - Single tap to move a card (or sequence); - Drag and Drop; - Landscape or portrait; - Auto move; - Infinite undo steps; - Multiple card backs; - Timer, moves and statistics; - Autosave; - Shortcuts: --- Double click over the screen to undo. The main objective of the Spider Solitaire is to remove all the cards from the table by creating descending sequence of the same suit, from King (K) to Ace (A). When a sequence is completely formed it is automatically removed from the game. Besides the possibility to drag the cards there is two movement modes, the classic and the automatic mode. On the automatic mode simply click on the card (or sequence) that must be moved and the game will find the best spot. On the traditional mode it is possible to move a card or runs of cards by simply clicking over the desired cards (or group) and then on the destination.
