This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Pyramid is my favorite solitaire game and I'm glad there's now a simple program to help me "kill time" at lunch.
It is easy to play and I haven't even bothered to go to the menus much. Just enough to turn off the sounds.
Regarding Paradise Pete's earlier comment about not being able to choose a different card: if you click and drag the card, you can choose from the available allowed cards (i.e. drag a 5 card to one of multiple 8 cards it could pair with). Then it's not mindless clicking.
I plan on buying the full version in the near future. I LOVE it!
P.S. I didn't rate documentation or support because I haven't looked over the documentation or asked for support.
Flawed implementation

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />A very simple game, but despite that it's been poorly implemented. Clicking on on part of a combination automatically chooses the other part, and there's no apparent* way to choose a different card. It also seems* impossible to make combinations containing more than two cards. This reduces the game to mindless clicking, as there are almost no real decisions to be made.<P>
*"apparent" and "seems" because there is no actual instruction on how to physically make the plays. So maybe there's a way to do it, but I couldn't figure it out.
