While we’ve seen different styles of mobile games combined in the hopes of creating the next big thing, many attempts have fallen very short of the goal. In this case, however, WildTangent has created an unstoppable combination that is sure to win over the hearts of both puzzle and casino enthusiasts alike. The latest iOS game from the developer who brought us Swipe 3 and Word Science sees players swiping across the screen to connect cards, with the objective of creating the best poker hand possible.
In a recent interview, Matt Shea, head of WildTangent Studios, said “If you love puzzle games and poker, you’re ready for Poker Play. Even If you don’t play poker, after a few minutes you’ll easily begin to spot the best hands. My personal best score is 28,115, and I look forward to people posting their top scores or using Poker Play to prep for their next poker night.”
It’s not just industry professionals who appreciate the beauty of this new creation, however, as Poker Play! receives rave reviews in the app store.
“Fantastic. And free! No lives to refill, no special upgrades that cost real $$. It’s just a great little game. Yeah, there are ads but they’re not popups and not too intrusive. If you like both poker & match-3 type games you’ll probably enjoy this.” – by Kitty Bacon
Personally, I’m not a huge fan of casino style apps, but I do love puzzle games, and the combination of the two has proven to be a huge success. Poker Play! is now available to download for free from the iTunes App Store, so be sure to check out what all the fuss is about.
