This is NOT a new spin on Solitaire. This is nothing but a copy of Puzzle Solitaire (also known as Shape Solitaire) and Charm Solitaire. Puzzle Labs themselves did Charm Solitaire. One thing I am finding with Gamezebo reviews is they don't know the older games very well. like not knowing that Rise of Atlantis is a sequel to Atlantis Quest...

We'll look into this and change the review and rating accordingly.
Not to be defensive, but I think we know casual games very well. We've reviewed a couple hundred games in the past year and personally I have worked in casual games the past 4 years. I knew of Charm Solitaire, but do not remember playing it.
The problem is that there appears to be a recent trend in casual games to take the same game you've done, re-dress it with a new story, re-release, and for marketing reasons, not mention its a sequel. If we do not know or or remember the first game it looks new to us.
Nevertheless, we caught this once (Mysteryville and Magic Academy), missed the mark before (Atlantis Quest and Rise of Atlantis) and now again.
There will not be a third time...

Just like solitaire, a heart without love plays a lonely game.
