Smallware has released Solavant, a solitaire game for Mac OS X which they bill as “the hardest game of solitaire ever.” A free trial is available for download, and Solavant costs $27 for a single-user license.

Made especially for Mac OS X, Solavant features 153 different solitaire games — everything from familiar variants like Free Cell and Klondike to Capuchin, Spider, Forty Thieves and much more.

“Tired of playing solitaire that basically solves itself? Did your last game of solitaire come with training wheels? Solavant players will fight tooth and nail through each game,” said Smallware.

I was inspired by a ROM hack (nightmare moon and reaper sun i suggest checking it out, i'm part of the dev. Team) and Ttars Randomizers, so i decided that i wanted to make my own, it involves a dark story, lots of mythology and alchemy to make a beautiful story Randomized: Tms Wild encounters Crazy strong trainers The texture edits will be similar to Nightmare Moon's And Ttars sun/AS Randomizer Crystal onix, ruby steelix AZ Florges Kanga.

The game maintains statistics on your play, a timer and scoring, and features limited auto-play, undo and in-game rules.

System requirements call for a G3 or faster, Mac OS X v10.3 or later and 20MB hard disk space.
