I've really enjoyed the other games in this series, but after reading the reviews about frustrations with colors and backgrounds, I wasn't even going to bother downloading the trial.
I finally decided to see for myself what all the fuss was about, and I'm glad I did. Yes, some of the colors are quite similar, but one way to deal with that is by switching to either a lighter or darker color to possibly get some breakup between the similar colors. Unless it gets more difficult past the 1-hour mark, I haven't had an issue with the puzzle and background melding together.
If you've enjoyed the first two Forest Riddles, you won't be disappointed by #3.
I played the full 60-minute demo and wanted to continue tackling it, as I own all 13 penguin mosaics and love them. I'm not a fan of the "shapes" level AT ALL. It makes no sense. Where other mosaic games have to have at least one space between each set of filled-in blocks, the shapes level may or may not have a space between a circle, square, or hexagon. You need to use hints over and over to complete the levels. I've managed to figure out the "swap" level, but it took quite a bit of head scratching. I agree with other reviewers on the visual quality. It's really hard to tell how many tiles you're selecting, as it's translucent white over a transparent white background. Not sure I'll be finishing this game. If you find most nonograms boring or simplistic, this might be one worth your time. I bought this over the weekend for 60% off, so at least it wasn't a waste of a game credit. Full price? No way I'd have purchased it.
