As well as the gameplay, Astraware Solitaire allows you to customize the way the game looks with a choice of decorative wallpapers, or select one of your own photos for the background. The game also offers changeable color themes, and a beautiful selection of cardbacks to enhance the look of your game. Extra backgrounds and card backs can be unlocked with special achievements as you play.

Most important of all, there is a choice of card front including a familiar traditional set with beautiful face cards, and a clear card face which is better for those with visual impairments, or for playing in bright daylight.

If you like to track your progress, the game statistics will tell you how long you've played and how often you win, and Astraware Solitaire includes a fun trophy system which unlocks the highly sought-after Golden Trophy Pack of cards. Once you've collected them all, you can even use them to play with!

Astraware Solitaire allows you to play your own music in the background, with sound effects on or off, and auto-saves your game on exit.

Plantastic!

Plantastic! is a fun combination of puzzle and strategy game where you create bouquets from groups of brightly coloured flowers to clear them from the play board and reach each level's bloom target! Each game mode has a different planting pattern and blooms can only be placed near the player's last bloom within the pattern shown. Blooms drop into the queue and you must plant them in the garden before the queue fills up.

Plantastic! begins as a simple fun game, but add the challenge of more complex flower arrangements, and a range of different bloom colours as you progress, and the challenge increases. Avoid the mushrooms that block your path, and stop Mr Mole from stealing your blooms by tapping him on the head, but make sure you don't run out of time or flowers! Flower powerups like the super trowel and joker flowers will offer assistance to boost your points total.
