Solitaire Blitz hits Facebook
PopCap Games, the brains behind the hugely popular Bejeweled series and the fiendishly addictive Peggle, has today announced the official launch of Solitaire Blitz, their latest game, on Facebook.
The aquatically themed card game allows friends to compete in a 60-second card matching frenzy. Collecting treasures will earn silver (the in-game currency) to spend on power-ups. We've had a quick blast and can confirm that, like all PopCap games, it's clearly going to prove very addictive.
Scott Willoughby, marketing manager for PopCap Games, said in a statement: "We've taken the world's most well-known card game and created an exciting new social version using PopCap's incredibly popular time-based Blitz mechanic made famous by Bejeweled Blitz and Zuma Blitz. We've evolved a traditionally solitary pastime into a friendly, shared experience that's fun for all ages."
Here's the latest screens for the game. Once you've had a look, if you like what you see, why not head over to Facebook and try it out for yourselves.
