I was really enjoying this game, thus the higher stars for fun, challenge. This game is truly challenging requiring strategy and patience. Some levels will need to be replayed in order to get all the stars.
i merrily made my way through the different missions, realizing I would need to get all the upgrades to finally beat previous missions. Then, I made it to mission 20.
There must be a glitch to this level because it is impossible to move to get the pyrotechnician because even though the gate says it is activated, it not activated.
This is beyond frustrating and aggravating as I have been playing this game since it came out, had to restart a coulple times simply because it took that long to figure out the strategy to move on.
Words cannot express how angry I am about this! Such a shame, because this was one of my favorites. Not any more!! BEWARE!!
I don't recommend this game.
A mystery-filled ride to unknown cosmic shores!

I was really looking forward to this game as the reviews gave it high remarks. I don't know what game they were playing, but it couldn't have been the one I tried.
As a previous poster said, it is very dark and hard to see just what is supposed to happen. And, with no information on what is supposed to happen next, I got frustrated not even 30 minutes into the trial. I had to use the hint button so many times, I figured it wasn't worth my time or money.
Too bad, as I said, was looking forward to a fun game...NOT!
Complete beautiful works of art and let your creativity shine!

I usually love Art by Numbers, at least I did in earlier versions. I've noticed as the versions go on; the level of relaxing fun as gone down.
To be fair, Art by Numbers 14 seemed to listen to those of us who were not happy with the teeny, tiny fields that were impossible to find unless you enlarged the picture to the utmost capacity. I thought at first it was going to be another search and find, but in later pictures, the beautiful pictures were there, and it was not quite the challenge to find pin head fields.
I downloaded and bought this latest version because I figured the developer was listening to those of us who were becoming frustrated with the minute fields that required a hint even if the picture was enlarged.
I am only on the second level and am losing my patience with this version. Not only are there way too many minute fields, but the pictures are not that appealing.
Won't say this is the last version of this series I'll purchase, but if the developer releases another version as frustrating as this, that will be my last. Just sayin'...
I don't recommend this game.

When I first attempted this game (several times), I hated it. I didn't understand what I was supposed to do. It actually sat on my desktop for weeks after first attempts, totally ignored (hating it every time I saw the icon for the game).
Then, after playing several other games previously completed, I got bored and decided to give this game another chance. I am happy I did!!
I will be the first to admit that this was very confusing to understand. I actually had to go watch on that video site to get an understanding on how to proceed. So, I will concede the developers could have given more guidance to users.
After I grasped how to proceed, I found myself addicted to this game. As the saying goes, don't judge a book by its cover. If you give this game a chance, I believe you will come to enjoy as did I.
I recommend this game!

I have enjoyed this series from the beginning. It truly is one of the most challenging of time management games. This one doesn't disappoint.
I am a bit surprised at the number of lower ratings on this release. This series has always been very challenging, which in my opinion, makes it worth the money. While I enjoy easier TM games, I enjoy this series because of the level of thought that went into developing the game.
That said, this new episode has the usual gather, chop, bridges, etc. I sometimes take the time to look at the backgrounds of each level. A little fox and penguin usually appear; if you click on the fox, it makes a squeaky noise, and the penguin will flap its 'arms'.
Looking for the hidden objects is really a challenge, but again, this is one of things I enjoy about this series. Is it frustrating at times? Yep. But, once found, it is a satisfying accomplishment (I have surprised my husband when I throw my arms up in a victory celebration...lol).
I usually play TM games in expert mode, but I play Roads in normal mode. I cannot imagine how one would get gold on each level at expert mode. Once I finish this in normal mode, I will then attempt in expert.
If you like time management games with a challenge, I believe you will find this game fun.
I recommend this game!
Set off on an adventure in the name of love!

What a great surprise to open Big Fish and see another New Yankee game!! Love this series, and this one does not disappoint!
Almost from the beginning, the challenge is evident. I always play expert mode, so I expect more of a challenge. This new episode delivers, but not to the extreme point where I want to just accept a silver star. Love the challenge!
The humor found in earlier releases continues with this new release. I enjoy reading the back and forth between the characters.
I look forward to continuing my journey through this episode. I have no doubt that I will play it over and over as I have previous New Yankee games. Love this!
I recommend this game!

I have enjoyed Art by Numbers since the first release. I found them relaxing, taking me away from the stress of the day.
While I still like completing the colorful pictures, the last few releases have not been as relaxing as the earlier versions. I say this because, as a previous poster said, there are so many miniscule dots, lines, etc., that it takes away from the enjoyment of completing the picture.
I always try to finish the pictures without using a hint. Now, I find I have to use the hint more and more. I would like the developers to go back to earlier versions and see how the pictures could still be somewhat challenging without making it almost impossible to complete without using the hint.
All that said, I still enjoy Art by Numbers and look forward to the next release.
I recommend this game!

What a wonderful surprise to see one of my favorite time management games! This one does not disappoint. Starts out easy and the level of challenge becomes more difficult as one moves through the levels.
This one is a keeper!

Rescue Team series is one of my favorites, so I was excited to see it as a BFG of the day! I didn't even try it before purchasing as I have never been disappointed with Rescue Team. And, once again, I am not disappointed.
The challenge is there, especially for those who love this type of game. I had to replay a number of levels in order to get 3 stars, but the challenge is not so great as to be frustrating. Of course, the further into the game one gets, the more challenging it becomes.
I do look at the scenery while playing and noticed these little characters popping out of the ground and going back down. How clever! I just love things like this thrown in by developers. It surprises me as just developing the game play itself has to be challenging. So, kudos for the little surprises.
If time management is your type of game, I believe you will enjoy the latest escapades of the team.
I recommend this game!

I love the Art by Numbers series, so was very happy to see the new version. The colors and pictures are far superior to others in this genre. I find Art by Numbers to be very relaxing.
And, when I'm finished with this and earlier versions, I play them again and again as an escape from everyday stress.
I agree with pennmom that this is the best of the best. And, I love her in-depth analysis of this type of game and any others she see fits to write about. I don't always agree with her, but I respect her opinions. I wish I could be as descriptive as she is. So, hopefully, will see her analysis on this latest version soon.
I recommend this game!
