Why does every solitaire app bury a simple deck of cards under ads, coins, streaks, and spinning prize wheels? This is just solitaire. • Classic Klondike — draw one or draw three • Crisp 8-bit pixel art on a clean, dark table • No ads. Ever. • No account, no tracking, no notifications begging you to come back • Nothing to buy — everything's included BUILT FOR ONE HAND • The whole board sits mid-screen, right where your thumb lives — no stretching to the top corners • Left- and right-handed layouts: the deck, pause, and undo all flip to your side • Tap to move — no fiddly dragging. One tap sends a card where it should go. MAKE IT YOURS • Difficulty modifiers: draw three, kings-only empty columns, locked foundations, undo on or off — stricter rules multiply your score • Winnable-deals-only mode, or gamble on a true random shuffle • Dead-end detection calls the game the moment it can't be won — no wasting time on an unwinnable deal THE DETAILS • Undo, restart a deal, auto-finish a won game • Local top-10 scores with time and difficulty • Fireworks when you win. The cards drip off the table when you lose. No missions. No coins. No timers. Just a good-looking deck of cards.

Oversummer Survival is a card-based survival game where every day on a remote tropical island is a fight to stay alive. After your cargo plane crashes into the ocean, you somehow survive and wash ashore on an unknown island. There is no sign of civilization, no way to call for help, and no telling how long you will be stranded. With only what you can find around you, you must learn to survive. Find food, collect materials, hunt animals and catch fish. Build a shelter, craft useful tools and find a way to turn unsafe water into something you can drink. Every decision costs precious time and resources, and even a small mistake can put your survival at risk. In Oversummer Survival, your journey is shaped by the cards you’re dealt. Each day brings new opportunities and new dangers. Hunt for food, search for water, endure scorching heat, survive tropical storms and deal with whatever the island throws your way. No two attempts are quite the same. Randomly generated cards force you to adapt, take risks and make the most of what you have. The longer you survive, the more you leave behind for your next attempt. Unlock badges based on how many days you manage to stay alive and use their bonuses in future runs. Start with extra food, additional materials, increased luck and other advantages that may help you survive just a little longer. How many days can you survive before the island finally gets the better of you?
