As a senior citizen, I enjoy playing games that exercise my brain. Success in nonograms depends almost completely on logical thinking, as opposed to luck. The difference between puzzle groups is largely cosmetic plus a few extra options which facilitate gameplay. Gizmos: Interstellar Voyage has a save feature that I have not seen before. If you are in the middle of a puzzle, and have to quit and close out the program, the game allows you to save your progress. You do not lose everything, and have to start that puzzle from scratch. Perhaps this welcomed option is in other nonogram programs, but this is the first time I have come across it.
I recommend this game!

I really love this game. My one tiny reservation is that number of moves limitation. I'm sure that I am in the minority on this, but I would have preferred that there be an unlimited moves option for those times that you just occasionally wanted to play in a very relaxing mood with a nice bottle of wine, etc, etc.
My only criticism of the great Runefall (developers' impressive preceding effort) was that you could not save the game and come back later. That is not the case with Silver Tale.
I highly recommend this game.

If you enjoy TM games, you must try this out. So far, I have found that each level offers a unique challenge, requiring varied strategic thinking, and thus maintains it's interest. For those who want it, it has a no time limit mode. The graphics are terrific and the characters are humorous. The story line is not much, but it doesn't seem to matter. This game is simply great fun!

I enjoyed the demo. The graphics were good. The strategic challenges stretched your imagination, preventing boredom. The storyline was a fun. Everything was a step up from the simplistic repetitious nature of too many in this genre. Unfortunately, lacking an untimed mode, necessary for the younger members of my family, prevents me from buying it. Much of the competion has recognized that an untimed mode increases market. Pity that the developers of RE do not. To be fair, I recommend this game highly for those who do not have this requirement.

Overall this was a good change of pace from HOG. As an M3 game, the added physics factor makes it interesting. I'm not sure, but I think that being able to add a Zen factor by optionally eliminating/reducing the time factor might broaden its appeal.
I recommend this game!
