sure the first ones in every category are easy..although there is a challenge trying to figure out which dots are supposed to line up but I tried one of the later ones in another category and there were 4 levels to align-made King Tut's mask...took me longer than I would like to admit...LOL
this starts out similar to other games but I'm on level 48 and it's starting to get a bit challenging. You really have to think to get some of the matches and there aren't always power ups to help out...I waited for a long time on one level and nothing ever showed up.
I'm not a fan of jigsaws that are timed, show the photo that you are trying to make or small amounts of pieces. This is NOT that kind of game...you can play relaxed, you can chose if you want to see the photo and you can adjust the amount of pieces however I think 200+ was the highest it went. My only problem in the demo was trying to save it..alas I clicked on the icons on the top and managed to scroll through all sorts of background images, remove my work, go back to the main screen and lost all my work...this did not deter me-I will be buying this and seeing if I can figure out how to save it BEFORE putting half of it together. Now if only Puzz 3D would show up on this site- I would be a really happy camper
I love this series and figured I would just go ahead with expert mode since it didn't say what was different between that and "play" I found it much easier than the first in this series-when you click on one color it shows all the options available to you which wasn't an option in the previous ones. For that reason I marked the challenge level lower.
I'm new to the paint by numbers genre-have tried some of the Pixel Art ones and I like a challenge. This game shows the areas for each color-where's the fun in that? I tried options to see if you could turn it off but you can't. Such a shame that they finally get pictures and colors I LOVE but way to easy unless they are gearing this toward children who can't tell numbers yet.
now, I admit I'm not a time management fan but when I saw this was a mystery with a different format-you don't just go back and forth doing the same tasks to advance...I thought I would give it a chance. I made it through the second chapter but stopped when I had to do some challenge of bringing things to people. I like games with puzzles (usually skipping the dialogues/storylines) but was willing to sit through them because that's what this game is about but the tasks seem so simplistic that there wasn't any challenge for me. Then I found it extremely difficult to figure out how to leave the game-tried escape & finally after clicking around found the menu-I don't like to work that hard.

I've done the first 2 in this series and it's been a while but I think you removed all the items that weren't in the original painting. With this one I noticed that weird things were still left behind so I checked one online-Conversation Piece by Spencer-the game left in a peacock feather, butterfly, spider, shuttlecock and other items...none of these are in the original painting...the reason I play these is to see paintings I normally wouldn't come across with the bonus of a game but it bothers me that it doesn't remove all the items - a bit distracting

I have been disappointed in the puzzles for these types of games hoping that they would have something to do with the theme/title...finally here's one that actually has puzzles (based on the still photos) that are theme related!! A definite buy.
I have looked at all these travel ones and would love to see puzzles that have something to do with the country-I download according to the still pictures that are displayed on the site and only the Christmas one seems to have anything remotely Christmasy about it. I have the same problem with jigsaw puzzles that are supposed to be themed but are generic pictures. I'm not a person who reads storylines-I skip all that but it would be so much more desirable if they had puzzles with some distinctive designs-maybe I'm not going far enough into them-if someone else can advise if the puzzles get better the further in you go I would appreciate it.
I was trying to download Zengems and in the search came this title...wow, I don't know how I missed this...finally an interesting Mahjongg. I hate the ones that you win without clearing the boards. The Ishidoku is also great fun-for some reason since it is colors and not numbers it appeals to me more.
