  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />It took me several glances through the documentation before it finally clicked that the cards don't need to match in all ways or not at all, but that each attribute is considered separately for this. Besides sticking a copy of instructions alongside the app, consider putting one within it that can be accessed from the help menu instead of getting the message "Help isn't available for Zotz." Gameplay is almost soothing - good for idling time - but the graphics aren't. I was surprised when cards finally started disappearing ("Oh, this game actually ends?"). Consider adding a preference that determines the number of replacement cards there is.<br><br> This game is stable as a rock, <i>and</i> source is included so that if anyone wants something changed they're free to do so themself (though at the moment I'm using it more as a learning tool).

• Might be fun enough if you're REALLY into pattern...

  Summary

  ...matching<br />This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I found the documentation a little hard to follow, and I didn't get the jist of the game until I used the "reveal" function a couple of times. After that... I suppose people who are really into pattern matching might find it fun, but the lack of a goal, opponent, scoring system with charts (to allow you to play vs. your previous performances) or, really, any opposing force makes it a little dull. Perhaps a timed mode? It's decent enough for something whipped up quickly, but I can't imagine spending much time actually playing it. Oh, I'd can the fancy folder. I found it confusing; for a moment I thought it had launched the game.
