I hate timed games of this sort as much as anybody. However, I would like to politely point out that under Options there is a choice of relaxed mode, which turns off the timer.
This game is fun, especially when I don't have time to get involved in a more intense game. Sometimes I just want to play a game without learning new rules, strategies, etc.
I did not care for the music or sounds, but I just turned them off. Also, I could have done without the screen that comes up before each puzzle telling me what keys I have to earn. C'mon, I want to get to the puzzle already!
So, Pirate Mosaics is fun and familiar, but no big deal, which is OK with me.
I recommend this game!
You receive a distress signal from a scientist who went missing a thousand years ago. Is this someone's joke or does he really need your help?

The artwork of this game was very well done. Deciphering the poor English was sort of a game in itself but really made it hard to follow the action. The navigation and controls were rather clunky and took a while to pick up on, partly due to the language barrier.
I think these developers have potential and I wish them luck but I cannot recommend game as it is.
I don't recommend this game.

If this game had let me grab and hold the pieces with the mouse until I was ready to place them I would have bought it. However, I am not up to a whole game of continuous mouse dragging.
I don't recommend this game.

Bluebeard's Castle--excellent but with a few flaws

I found Bluebeard's Castle charming and artistic. Really liked the graphics and the music. The mini-games, with some exceptions, were on my level, though a couple of them were incomprehensible to me. I admit I don't like mini-games in which moving one part moves others--no patience wiith these.
The problems for me other than some of the mini-games were that the game kept freezing up on me and generally ran rather slow. I had to re-install the game once and, several times, turn it off with Task Manager and restart. Of course, this could be a problem with my computer, which is slipping into old age.
I recommend this game!

I enjoyed playing this game. However, what gives with the Confederate flag t-shirt the boy was wearing in the ending scene? For this, I cannot recommend it.

I played the trial period of this game. I loved the puzzles--they were quite beautiful. Unfortunately, my older hands do not have the mouse control necessary to earn enough points to move through the levels. This game would be great if it had a non-timed, no-mistake penalty alternative.
I recommend this game!

I have greatly enjoyed the previous WM puzzles and own 4, 5, 6, and now 7. 7 just didn't measure up to the previous games. I didn't like that many of the puzzles had large grids but little actual playing area. I did not care for the shiny tiles.
I think these puzzles were done by a different artist--sorry, but I prefer the original artist. I noticed that the old style came back about half way through the bonus section.
Please bring back the original artist.
I don't recommend this game.
A wonderful story of the citizens of Joyville. Can you change their destiny? You will see – nothing is impossible!

I hoped that the final game of this series would be better. I have enjoyed all the Puppet Show games but was disappointed with this one. I think they pulled an older, unused version out of the closet and reworked it. The graphics quality and the story was not up to that of the last game.
I don't recommend this game.

I have been looking forward to the release of WM 6 and it does not disappoint. There are fewer super easy puzzles and more challenging ones. The puzzle graphics are very good. I like the World Mosaic games because I can play through them once, let them sit, then play them again, and again.
My only negative comment is that the text is rather poorly edited. I suggest using a spell checker and then checking behind that. If the correctly spelled word is used wrongly spell checker can't help.
I recommend this game!
Return once more to the haunted grounds of Ravenhearst Manor to uncover new details about this poignant saga. What you find could very well be the final chapter of this riveting story-if you escape.

I was disappointed with this game especially since I relied on the reputation of previous MCF games that I had enjoyed to purchase it. I did try a short trial of this game before buying it. However, I discovered that I soon lost patience with the morphing object searches. The direction of the game was hard for me to follow. Though it was touted as a psychological thriller, I thought a lot of it was just plain yucky. Cutting toenails and nasal hairs and popping pimples, ew!!
I don't recommend this game.
