I had forgotten about the newer format of the game. Not sure why they changed it in the first place. This series used to be an instant buy for me, but I have eye problems from an injury and corneal surgery... and this game is unplayable for me. Wasted a credit on this one.
Adventure Match follows up their first match-3 hit with a colorful ocean-side puzzler filled to the brim with perplexing levels with various challenges.
It's like a less-polished '4 Elements' style Match 3 game... with some bonus games thrown in. You make matches instead of connecting chains. Light casual fun with lots of powerups to blow up but not much more than that. Demo it and see what you think.
Not my usual style of puzzle game but I'm really enjoying it. Very relaxing. Beautiful pictures and the options let you choose whether you want to construct a quick, fun picture or something much more challenging. I feel like there could be more options like jigsaw shapes for the pieces. It would also be nice to fit higher resolution pictures into the game without cropping them and to have better control when you have to crop the images. There's room for growth, but what they do give you is top notch and there are lots of nice pictures to choose from. Recommended.

Enjoying it. Bought it. To get the powerups originally you have to go buy them from the Tools tab in the upgrades screen/section. The powerups charge as you make large matches.
Fun chaining-style M3 game in the style of the 4 Elements games. Not nearly as polished as the 4 Elements games but fun. I'm playing in expert mode (off the main menu). A buy for me.
Twin Time Mosaics has promise but there are some problems. White on white colors don't work in general but especially not when you get larger grids and smaller blocks. Usually I play expert ("hard") mode but the empty block filler doesn't work at all past the first few levels and so you can find yourself with a solved color/puzzle filling in blank spaces to keep moving forward in the game. If folks really want that option then let them turn it on, but it's not fun or innovative for me. I do appreciate that you can mark a line of blocks without losing it all if your hand is not as steady as it once was. Even so, It is harder than usual to cancel out of a block you are marking and that led to "mistakes". I do like a lot of things about the game but after buying it and playing for a few hours I can't recommend it. Fix them for next time and I'll be a fan.
I love nonograms and Travel Mosaics are probably my favorites (along with Rainbow Mosaics). I bought the game and I'm enjoying playing it. Having said... there are several levels so far where you have 2 or 3 shades of the same color that are very close to each other. It's frustrating in expert mode to say the least. It just feels like the pictures are getting worse. Even so I'm probably just splitting hairs and would still recommend the game. Enjoy.
I turned the music off and the sound fx down half way and had no sound issues at all. The game has some potential but there are too many problems for me. The game tiles are on the smallish side and when there are bombs or other combos on the screen I had a hard time telling what color they should be matched with. The game is timed (no relaxed etc. options) and that's just not my cup of tea. The tutorials on the screen are super annoying and can't be turned off. Also, there is a pop-up message on the screen every time a powerup is charged. Performance on a board doesn't seem to have a lot to do with the number of stars earned. It's a pass this time.
