I love this series. My favorite mini-game is the pushy beetle. The tiles are wonderful. Cursed House has the best tiles and #14 is no exception. These are the best tiles yet.
I recommend this game!

I enjoy HO games that highlight cultural aspects of places.
Two issues that make this a No-Buy for me:
1. Timer. I don't enjoy timers, so I usually choose the untimed mode - this game does not give the option to play untimed. That is a deal breaker for me.
2. Magnifier. When the scenes are this busy, I need a magnifier.

I am so hooked on the Modern Art series. I am already hooked on the Pixel games.
Relaxing and still engaging.
Excellent for decompressing.

I have all of the Pixel Art games. Each time I finished the latest one, my thought was, "I wish there were more edge to edge pictures."
PA13 has given me the most enjoyment! Edge to edge pics predominate. The stand alone items, while not E-to-E, are large and very satisfying.
I love the landscapes, Renaissance portraits and still lifes.
I hope the developers keep going to the impressionist art world for their product. LOVE IT!!!

I see that beautiful, eggy sun and those icy, jelly letters and I'm hooked. I love the penguins and their travels. As long as they have adventures and the nonograms keep this quality, I'm buying!
I recommend this game!

But it did!
The pictures are wonderfully colorful and gestural. Having a choice of hue and texture in the tiles is fun but having the choice of color locked based on play is brilliant!
Just finished the first set of pics. Loved every one of them.
I love this series. I have every one. As long as the developers come up with adventures for the penguin family, I'm going along on the ride.

Goofy, sticky ghosts that make goofy noises!? How can you miss?
Loved this game. I thought (as did another reviewer) this would be a great kid game, goofy graphics and all but then the playing field started moving around and the play became harder. Not for young kiddies! Unless you want to train them for Cal Tech and MIT!
This was a buy for me when the fluffy, toothy pillow blocks showed up; a game that makes me laugh and shudder? Gotta have it!!
ps developers: I really would like a relaxed level...

Well, that was a disappointment.
I was looking forward to Version 2. The first H&H was a hoot! While it was difficult to find the last couple of tiles to clear, I was charmed by the art work; loved it!!
Unfortunately, H&H2 did away with what made H&H a win. The artwork and graphics are not interesting. The music and sounds are also not interesting. The backgrounds and tile colors make it even more difficult to see what needs to be done.
All in all, not fun, not intertaining, not charming, not a buy.

Travel with the penguins to a famous movie studio for new pixel art mosaic challenges!

No. 21!! Kudos for keeping the Penguin Family in new adventures!
The colors are great.
The landscapes are lovely.
The pictograms are subtly more challenging.
And, the MUSIC!! I find myself opening the game just to hear the lovely music. The music has always been wonderful but this time, again subtly better.

Parallel universes to dinosaurs to movie studios! Where to next!?? Don't stop!
I recommend this game!
Join the penguin family as they travel to the edge of the world to extend the mosaics color palette!

I love the Fantasy Series and I have all of them. I love the penguins, love the music, the backgrounds, the themes; but... Yeah, there's a 'but' coming. The picure puzzles in FM 19 are a bit simplistic. I go back and replay all of the games - I enjoy them so much. I've been replaying FM 17. The puzzles are beautiful and complex, showing Imagination. I am missing that touch of imagination in 19 - sadly. I still purchased it because of the other elements of the game. But if you are expecting this to be a step up from 18, you may be disappointed.
So I recommend this game with reservations.
