I loved the first "Arizona" puzzler and I like this one too. This has become my favorite type of all the puzzle games. However, I did deduct one star because the squares are difficult to "see" when I've uncovered or blocked. #This might be because I'm a senior and maybe my eyesight isn't what it used to be# For me, the colors all tended to blend together. The challenge was good, but I took way more time than usual because of my difficulty in differentiating the "done and undone" squares. I will still most likely buy it because this is my favorite type of game.
I recommend this game!

This is one of my favorite types of games. I have bought almost every single one of this type and constantly replay. I like the fact that it is untimed and, for the most part, a good logic workout for the brain. Even my elementary age grandchildren like playing. The only negative is that some of the levels end up with the player having to "guess" or use a hint in order to finish. I consider myself an expert at this type of game and I usually am able to complete without using a hint. There are a couple of levels so far that could have "either or" placements of the "checks", but if you guess incorrectly, then you get a mistake and may need to replay the level. I will most likely go ahead and buy this game.
I recommend this game!

I love the World Mosaics and usually automatically purchase without even doing the demo. I was disappointed with this one that you could only have the FTP. I absolutely love the twist on the addition of different colors as the levels progress. I made it all the way to level 58 before I ran out of lives and am now waiting for another life to be able to continue. I don't know how many levels this has, but it looks to have plenty more even after the level 58 where I got to.
I recommend this game!

I have all the World Mosaic games and a few others that are very similar. This one is sadly lacking in several areas: the gray/red constant color is monotonous and boring, there are no opportunities to gain extra hints and/or mistake do-overs, and most importantly,...there are several levels that you are reduced to "guessing" This type of game, in my experience, is a logic game and I do very well, but that is because it is logical and uses deductive reasoning. This particular game definitely is a disappointment to me.
I don't recommend this game.

I've only recently come to enjoy this type of strategy/management game, so my review may reflect this. I enjoy a challenge, but not a race against time. After all, it's just a game that is supposed to be enjoyable. I have played other games that give you extra points, etc. for completing a level in a certain time limit, but you're not restricted to a time limit. With this game, you are unable to continue until you complete the level within a time limit. I don't purchase any games that restrict me to this. Also, this particular game is almost identical to at least three others I have done.
I don't recommend this game.

I was looking for a word game for my grandchildren and this one looked so cute. Unfortunately, even as an adult, I couldn't figure out how to place the letters. It was a major frustration. I'm not a dummy, but I sure felt like it when I spent over 15 minutes just trying to place the first word. With some re-working it could be a good game.
I don't recommend this game.

This solitaire had a "wannabe" feel to it, trying to incorporate hidden object game with solitaire. It played "very" slow and having to stop and "dust off the cards" or "spray off the mold" on each card just plain annoyed me. I guess it might have been an ok game for a young child, but for someone who likes both solitaire and hidden object games, I'll play elsewhere.
I don't recommend this game.

I was looking for a card game for my young grandchildren and this might have made the grade had the colors been brighter. One of the big disadvantages was that at the end of each "game", you had to save and exit and then start anew. This is just a waste of time and virtually no challenge. If I had to recommend a similar game, I'd recommend "pirate solitaire"
I don't recommend this game.
