Magic Towers Solitaire – Tri Peaks - Interview with the developer of a fantastic app

Did you have any prior development or coding experience?

Yes, I studied Artificial Intelligence at Manchester University a long time ago!

What was the most challenging aspect of developing mobile app?

We originally developed this as an online game. When we re-made it, we needed to take all the best elements and modernize the graphics and adapt it for mobile play.

Glowing Eye Games is a games development company founded in 2008, specializing in online and mobile games.

Name a few of your favorite apps and reason you love them.

Personally I’m a big fan of strategy games. Recently I’ve been playing Through the Ages and Civilization VI on the iPad.

How long have you been working on this app?

Every so often we do updates to the app to make it better so, we’ve been working on and off the app for years!

What need of the user did you have in mind when developing this app?

For any solitaire game, the goal is to entertain and relax the player. We made the menu intuitive, the animations slick and smooth, and created a theme with a peaceful atmosphere. Additionally, many mobile games are played in small sessions, so this game fits that kind of player.

In what way do you think your app is better than similar apps on the market? Please describe in detail what innovation you think you bring and what you are proud of in your app.

Many solitaire games use a simple green background and bland theme. We wanted to create the feeling of being taken worlds away from where you are, something fantastical and charming. We’ve also spent a great deal of time making and animating the game, so it’s smooth and there are little effects that spark a lot of joy. No doubt we will continue to add elements in the future too.

What are your future plans and expected features of the coming new versions of this app?

We’re working on a mini-update now to make the game a little more accessible. In the future, we’d aim to add new levels.

Assuming new users of your app are reading this page. What do you want to ask them to do (contact you about X, Share the app, etc.)?

Enjoy playing the game!
