A neat twist on solitaire in a striking and memorable visual style. Seeking to remedy the problem of unwinnable games in solitaire, Radical Solitaire gives you the option to "get rad," trading one of your draw cards for one of the face-down cards on the field by playing a Breakout minigame where you repeatedly knock the ball into the card to shuffle through the deck until you get what you want. This minigame is also surprisingly juiced up with lots of cool explosive effects and the ability to completely fill the screen with balls. While this change is nothing if not inspired, it still leaves a little to be desired as, while the game cannot be truly unbeatable, it can become very tedious as you try repeatedly to get that one card you need to make progress. Worth a look, but even more so worth another stab with a little more development.
