I'm a puzzle geek so this game is right up my alley, but it could use a Christmas Miracle or two to make it more user-friendly. This is a Timed Puzzle game that requires you to drag square picture tiles to their correct cells on a grid with a colorless image to guide you. There are several issues going on here, all of which are simple fixes, and I'd love to see more puzzles offered by this developer. Here's a list of issues and my suggestions to make the game more user-friendly just in case Cold Coffee is listening :)
TIMED MODE:
You can earn Gold, Silver, or Bronze Awards depending on how long it takes you to complete the image, and you can replay the puzzle, you can even save your progress. The scoring was confusing to me. If I completed the puzzle within 5 minutes I earned a Gold Medal, but if I completed the puzzle within 3 Minutes I earned a Silver Medal? (I only earned Gold or Silver Medals during the demo) Most people don't like Timed Modes, especially on a Puzzle which most puzzle-lovers play for relaxation. Why not offer a Casual Mode as well?

(I only earned Gold or Silver Medals during the demo) Most people don't like Timed Modes, especially on a Puzzle which most puzzle-lovers play for relaxation. Why not offer a Casual Mode as well?
UNAPPEALING OR SIMILAR IMAGES:
First of all, there are only 30 Puzzles in total and I was able to complete about half of those puzzles within the demo. If the goal is to complete each puzzle in 3-5 minutes you could potentially complete the entire game from start to finish within 90 to 2.5 hours tops. The images are unappealing and they were too much alike, wine glasses and Christmas Tree variations were in every puzzle. There are millions of Christmas images available that are colorful, cheery and appealing, but these were ugly or boring images. Choose better images next time, use winter scenery not close-ups of some random dude pointing to a tree, close-ups of a table setting, and worse of all a picture of the tips of a fir tree on a wooden board????

DARK CELLS/NOT ABLE TO SEE EMPTY SLOTS
Several of the images had dark-colored puzzle tiles and even darker background cells that made it impossible to see where the empty slots were available. The same issue when the cells and tiles were all white. This could be avoided by simply choosing better picture images with contrast as mentioned above! Sure, there's a Hint feature, but that defeat's the point, it feels like your cheating when you use the hint so I just don't use Hint features! Why not add a feature that allows us to download our own images?

I loved the concept, this could have been a super-fun, must-have game, but it's way too short and the pictures are really dull and unappealing, and certainly made the game flawed all because of the images chosen. I will use a PCC to purchase this game, but I probably would just pass on this game if I didn't have a PCC because of the issues stated above :(

TOO MANY ANNOYING FEATURES TO MAKE IT ENJOYABLE

I could have thoroughly enjoyed this Christmas-themed Mahjong game if the music soundtrack didn't get stuck on a never-ending loop that drove me crazy. I was also really annoyed with the fact that as I made Mahjong matches, the board would zoom in closer and closer, it felt like it was invading my personal space. These two annoying features made the game impossible to enjoy the relaxation of a Mahjong game, for me personally.
If you are a Mahjong fan, and you aren't annoyed by those two issues, this is a cute Christmas-themed Mahjong game with a "Builder" feature. There are 138 Levels available which include puzzles like Spot the Difference, as well as Hidden Object Scenes. I encountered a glitch, or perhaps an oversight on the Hidden Object Scene in the demo where the Items weren't crossed off as I found them which was also rather annoying.
You can earn up to 3-Stars per level (3-stars on puzzles if you don't use the Hint feature) and when you make matches quickly it will increase the Multiplier Index. Some levels have Presents or Gold Tiles to remove which ends the game once they are Matched, the final 2 matching tiles are also removed automatically. I find this feature annoying as well because it's just like Solitaire, I want the satisfaction of removing all of the tiles, not just some of them. You can replay the Mahjong levels to earn a better Star Rating, and you re given 5 Undo's, 5 Shuffles, and 5 Hints to start with, I'm assuming you can purchase more if necessary.
Diamonds are earned as you complete the levels and are used to construct buildings like factories, houses, and Cookie shops. To be honest, all of the buildings were similar in shape and all have a blueish tint to give the scene a nighttime appearance, which consequentially made them colorless and unappealing.
As I said earlier, it's a cute Mahjong game, the tiles are large and easy to see, the graphics are HD, and the Elf has a funny and somewhat sarcastic sense of humor. Happy Holidays :)
I don't recommend this game.
Pixel Art delivers a new set of amazing color by number pictures for hours of relaxing fun.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BEAUTIFUL & BRIGHT COLORS USED IN THE FIRST FEW PIXEL ART GAMES?

I love these games still, but what happened to the bright cheerful colors of the earlier games? I was excited when the Butterfly image popped up, but I was expecting a beautiful butterfly with vivid pink, purple, and blue hues, instead, I got a butterfly with a lot of black, green and brown hues???? The scenery images were awesome too, and I get that they were winter scenes, but can't you throw in a few wild colored images too?
I'd still like to see a few options added such as an Undo button, a Cursor option of different widths, a full-color palette for the Background Colors, a full-color palette to choose the color of "shaded" current numbered pixels, and an option to save the completed images as a screensaver or wallpaper.
When I played the first Pixel Art game, I wasn't a fan because the demo portion mostly offers small puzzles with very few pixels and even fewer details. Once I purchased the original Pixel Art game and discovered that the puzzles became more intense after the demo, I was hooked and found it very relaxing and very zen. When I say intense, I just mean more intricate, because the puzzles don't actually require a lot of thought, but that's the beauty of it...it's totally Zen! The accompanying music is soothing with occasional nature sounds blended into the background to make the experience even more peaceful, with frogs and crickets chirping or the sounds of waves as they ebb and flow.
There's not a whole lot to have to figure out, it's about as uncomplicated and basic as it gets. Pixel Art is a computer version of Paint by Numbers. Each pixel has a number and you chose the corresponding color bubble from the palette (also numbered) on the right side, and you simply left click to fill in all the numbers with the correct color, you can hold the mouse button and swipe through large groupings as well.
There is a Slider Bar that allows you to zoom in & out (there's a "fit" tab as well) you can also move the entire page around by right-clicking and dragging. There is an auto-fill feature that will fill in large groups of pixels in a particular color by double-clicking, but that feature has to recharge after each use, besides, it's more satisfying to color them yourself. The last feature is a slider bar that allows you to change the color of the background, it really only allows you to change the colors in shades of grey or black. It would make more sense to have an entire color scale available on a paint by numbers game though, wouldn't it?
Keep an open mind, it isn't supposed to be a brain-burner kind of game. It's a very basic and rudimentary game that's just supposed to take you out of the hectic zone for a bit, and who knows, you may find yourself aboard the Pixel Art Zen Train too. I'll save you a seat!

This is the way a Christmas Story should be, wickedness running amuck, while still remaining light-hearted and full of Christmas Cheer...and of course, a "Happily Ever After" ending. Well done big D, and did I detect a bit of sarcasm in response to the "other" Christmas game?
Gadget/Helper (9 times in the main chapter only)
There is a Magical Mirror Gadget that allows you to communicate with your father, Wilhelm Grimm. Because they don't have an unlimited Data Plan in Fairyworld, you'll have to get your "minutes" by replacing one Blue and one Green Crystal, and naturally, the "minutes" don't roll-over and the Crystals shatter after each use.

Morphing Objects & Collectibles:
There are 15 Morphing Christmas Trees and 15 Constellations Collectibles that can be a little hard to spot in some scenes. Each scene has at least one Zoom-Zone Gingerbread Stars Collectible of varying amounts. The Gingerbread Stars are used to purchase 15 Boudoir items that are Christmas themed. The Collectibles and Morphing Objects are available throughout the Main Chapter as well as the Bonus Chapter (CE version)

Santa has abandoned his post, I repeat, The Big Guy has gone AWOL, we have a Code Blue with Big Red, SCOTUS has left the building, Ho-Ho-Ho is a No-No-Go! Operation Christmas Drop The Ball has been deployed, this is NOT a drill, hold on to your Jingle Bells, grab your Hot Cocoa's, assume crash positions, this is the time to PANIC!
This is a cute Match 3 game that can be played in a Relaxed, Unlimited Moves Mode, a Challenge Mode with Limited Moves, or a Timed Mode as well as a Casual or Expert Difficulty Mode. There are 100 Levels and 28 Christmas Decorations to purchase with the Diamonds you earn. The Decorations can be moved and placed almost anywhere you want, so I placed the snowman as close to the fireplace as possible, nothing like taking your coals off once in a while, you know what I mean?
The Level Goals require you to make matches over all Gold Tiles, Remove Presents or Keys by dropping them off the board and making matches of specified tiles which are all Christmas related, with Trees, Santas, Stockings, Stars, Candy Canes, Cookies and Cupcakes, Bells, Cinnamon Buns, etc.
There are the usual Obstacles of Wooden Crates, Chains, Snow Cubes, Stone Tiles, Metal Tiles, Ice Cubes, and even Portals that constantly spit out Snow to cover the tiles.
Large Matches earn Bonuses, a Match 4 gives you Dynamite to destroy a 1 tile radius, a Match 5 gives you a Bomb to destroy adjacent tiles, and a Match 6 gives you TNT which destroys a 2 tile radius.
You can purchase Power-ups to use on pesky tiles such as a Hammer to remove a chosen Obstacle, a Pickaxe to remove a single tile, a Snowman to Shuffle the board, and a Shooting Star to remove all of the same kind of tile. Each Power-up can be purchased with the Diamonds you earn in increments of 12/32/57.
I found the music to be a little too repetitive so it would have been nice to have a few extra soundtracks added into the mix. It's a cute game, a somewhat easy game to master but I haven't played all of the modes so perhaps another mode setting would be more challenging Merry Christmas :)
I recommend this game!

Welcome to The Little Shop of Horrors, you've come in Vain detective, this Bud is NOT for you! Mandrake has taken over the city of Oaksmor and killer plants are spreading their spores at a break-necked pace and spewing deadly poisonous pollen. Can the League spread their Light or will the Mandrake spread darkness and extinguish human life existence?
This is a Love it or Hate it kind of game, I LOVED it! I love that this developer took a risk with the format out of the norm, yet slightly Retro. This is simply a Hidden Object Game with Mini-Games and a little bit of a story. You play a mini-game to unlock an area on the map (indicated by Green Gears) once the puzzle is solved, several Green arrows appear. Each Green Arrow is a whole scene Hidden Object Scene with 1-2 puzzles within. The Puzzles are fantastic, they are original, they are challenging, they are really, really fun! The HO's are creative, challenging and just as much fun as the puzzles, maybe more so! This is a long game because of the abundance of HO scenes, it has great replay value because of them too.
Collectibles:
There are 32 Collectible Owls located in the main scenes as well as the original Hidden Object Scenes. Most of the Owls are well-blended and can be tricky to spot. This has always been my favorite collectible and one I look forward to, so don't ever abandon these wide-eyed critters :)

Gadgets/Helpers:
There is a Toxin Apparatus Gadget that is used 11 times with an associated mini-game (which I დ'd!) You complete Hidden Object Scenes to collect a specified number of Flowers in a Phial and place them in the apparatus which triggers a mini-game of connecting atoms of opposing color. The Toxin is then used to destroy the killer plant which is also collected for the final scenes.

Hidden Object Scenes:
There are a whopping 49 Hidden Object Scenes _ 20 in the CE Bonus Chapter. If you have read my reviews you will know that I am rarely challenged by the HOP's nowadays because they have become nothing more than junkpiles with objects in plain sight. These are beautiful scenes, creative scenes, entertaining scenes, and above all, they have items that are at times, crazy-hard to spot! The HOP scenes aren't located in a dark zoom zone corner of the room, they are the room, the entire room! They are mostly Interactive List Finds, but every time I thought they couldn't surprise me with something new, BAM! something new was right around the corner, items to locate on conveyor belts all over the room going in different directions, an open-doored elevator with items in the background as the elevator moved, creative HOP's following orders and recipes (not the usual stuff) Pollen-filled rooms that you click to push away pollen for brief periods only to ooze back, Massive amounts of the same objects, such as 40 tiny Fleur-de-lis, or 30 sticks of dynamite... I looked forward to the HOP's for the first time in several years folks! Every original HOP has 1-2 puzzles to solve and every original scene has a Hidden Owl (Heads-up: don't forget to look for the collectible Owl as well on the scene where you collect 12 Owls) Towards the end of the game, some scenes are repeated because of a reinfestation. Those repeated scenes don't have puzzles or Owls (unless you didn't find it the first time)

Mini-Games:
There are 32 Mini-Games +12 in the CE Bonus Chapter. These puzzles aren't for the faint of heart, they aren't impossible to solve, but most are tricky or require a little bit of thought (and sometimes several ⟳ resets lol) Nearly all Hidden Object Scenes have at least one puzzle, some have two, with the exception of the repeated scenes. There is a repetitive game associated with the Toxin Apparatus which requires connecting several atoms. I actually loved this puzzle that increased with difficulty each time! I can honestly say that I really enjoyed all of the puzzles offered, but here's a list of some of my favorite puzzles:

I no longer play Betas, so I was expecting an amazing game aboard the Enchanted Express. Okay, one can't help but associate the "other" enchanted "northern-cold" express with this Enchanted Express. This game couldn't be further from that amazing tale, in fact, I was only aboard this amazing express 3 times for 3 seconds each and nothing about those 3 seconds reminded me of a train much less an Enchanted Christmas Train! Instead of a Tom Hanks kind of conductor, I got a perverted Grinch!
This man was pure EVIL, what kind of Christmas MORAL is that? These children are not only being punished for being children, for a simple lapse in judgment, but they are also kidnapped, threatened, instilled with fear that their family will be harmed, they are forced to do whatever the evil man tells them to do, and ultimately learn that the evil adult can do dreadful things to them and their loved ones (far worse than eating or breaking a gingerbread house) and gets away with it while they live in fear for his return (which was his ultimate threat) What kind of MORAL is that? What will next years Christmas game be about, a local thug who opens up a van door and offers candy to the little boys and girls?
Helper/Gadget:
There is a Mouse Helper Sidekick (explaining more will be a spoiler) He is as quiet as a mouse but he does fidget a bit as he stands in the bottom left corner awaiting his helpful duties. He is used 8 different times, most of which were at the end of chapter 2 and chapter 3.

Morphing Objects/Collectibles: (CE version only)
There are 12 Collectible Mascots and 25 Morphing Stockings that morph at medium speed, but morph into a similar object to make it less obvious. Most of the Zoom Zones have a fairly well-hidden Puzzle Piece that allows you assemble 4 Screensaver Jigsaws (12 pcs each) This developer never lets you return to the scene to pick up missed collectibles so don't board the train if there are zoom zones still available to open.

Hidden Object Scenes:
There are 16 Hidden Object Scenes +6 in the CE Bonus Chapter. I wasn't impressed with any of the HO Scenes, they were blurry or fuzzy, and none of them were creative or interesting considering they had an amazing theme to work with! There are Interactive List Finds, Multiples of Items Finds, Silhouetted Shape Finds, Keywords in Sentence Finds, Find & Replace Items, Uncover Matching Pair Finds as well. There are no alternate games available.

Welcome to Catstown, (population 1̶0̶0̶ ̶b̶i̶l̶l̶i̶o̶n̶, 2̶0̶0̶ ̶b̶i̶l̶l̶i̶o̶n̶, 275 billion (Ain't nobody from Catstown makin' an appointment at the local Spay/Neuter Clinic voluntarily) The King of Catstown shushed away a giant cat who accidentally crushed a few of the local residents' houses, causing the fat feline to cry so loudly the stars fell from the sky. Never fear, for Mr. Catlock Catis is here, along with his sidekick Mr. Squirrel of course. This is a much better story and certainly should have been the focus of the main game. There are only 8 Scene Locations in this average-length chapter about Morals, with 8 Mini-Games and 6 Hidden Object Scenes. You will search for the remaining 3 Collectible Mascots, 8 Morphing Stockings, and 12 Puzzle Pieces which allows you to complete the final screensaver.

DID YOU GUYS SLAP THIS GAME TOGETHER DURING A CO. CHRISTMAS PARTY AFTER A BIT TOO MUCH YULETIDE CHEER?
PostedDecember 19, 2019
pennmom36
fromThe Yule Log is a tradition that goes back to medieval times, the tree's base was placed in the fire & the rest of the tree stuck out. It was slowly fed embers from the previous year's Yule log for the 12 days of Christmas by someone with clean hands ⛄

What the flying, one-eyed bats were these folks drinking at the company Christmas Party? I'd like to remind everyone that a Chimera has the body of a female Lion with a Goat's head protruding from the lion's shoulder, her tail is that of a serpent with a snake's head and she usually has wings similar to a dragon. The Chimeras' in this game are bats with a cyclops eye and vampire fangs, the most ridiculous interpretation of a Chimera you could possibly imagine. (unless, of course, they have really good Yuletide "cheer" in Ukraine) The bizarreness doesn't end with a few fake-looking bats (nor does it start there) one minute you're investigating the disappearance of the Butler and the mansion's owner, the next scene you portal into another dimension with no rhyme or reason. There's no real plot, the story jumps from one focal point to the next. Is it a paranormal game? A detective who-dun-it game? A fantasy game? A transgender game? A greek mythology Chimeras game? They were definitely testing their boundaries, which I'm okay with, it doesn't bother me, but while pushing the envelope, they lost sight of everything else, mostly the plot and fun factor which IS a BIG deal, and I'm not okay with that!
ps: why do you have us find a wrench, use that wrench one time, lose the wrench mysteriously after a single use even though there were two zoom zone scenes literally side by side that required a wrench? How could I lose the wrench if I didn't leave the room? Wouldn't it make more sense that I would search the same room for said wrench?
pss: some of us play a game to earn ALL of the ACHIEVEMENTS. Isn't that the point of offering achievements? Aren't they supposed to be goals you strive to achieve??? WHY would you have an achievement for NOT skipping any of the Mini-Games and an achievement for SKIPPING ALL Mini-Games!!! Why would you offer an achievement for listening to ALL dialogs and one for SKIPPING ALL dialogs? Does that really make sense to you? Who on earth would think it was a great idea to offer achievements which ultimately set's the player up for failure because it's IMPOSSIBLE to earn all of them????????????????
Helper/Gadgets:
I'm pleased to report that there were no Gadgets or Helpers harmed in the making of this game, however, HR is looking into the Yuletide Cheer stockpile shortage which seems to have been depleted unusually fast this year.

Collectibles/Morphs:
They actually got the Morphs and Collectibles right! Each of the 25 scene locations has a Morphing Object that morphs at a nice pace and is well-blended into the background. The objects morph into a similar object with similar colors which make them less noticeable and somewhat challenging to spot at times. There are 12 Collectible Cards about various Cursed Objects that can be found in some of the Zoom Zones, and they did an incredible job of blending the cards into the scenery as well. I was most impressed with the infamous Elephant Jigsaw Puzzle Pieces. In the past, these puzzle pieces were the size of baby Elephants and could be spotted a mile away, and they always located in just the Zoom Zones. This time they have hidden 1 jigsaw in the scene itself, and the other 2 in zoom zones, and they are more obscure than in previous games.

Let me start by saying that Mahjong is my least favorite game genre, however, if they have a lot of exciting features like Legendary Slide, for example, I like them. Unfortunately, this one doesn't have a lot to offer and the graphics are rather dull and unappealing. There is one tileset that is supposed to be Christmas-themed, but other than a blue and a red Santa tile, the rest of the tiles are just winter-themed and not very Christmassy.
You can customize the Tiles by choosing Squared or Rounded Corners, select from 5 colors for the Tiles' Border, an icy-blue or wooden style background and you can choose the graphics of the Tilesets with a Traditional Mahjong style, 2 Numbered styles, a Flower/Garden theme, a Pink Ocean-theme or a Christmas/Winter tileset.
There are two Mahjong Modes available, a Classic Mode or traditional mode where you remove identical tiles that aren't blocked by other tiles or a Matching mode where you match tiles that correspond with the tile images shown in the bottom frame.
There are 120 Levels with various Tile Layouts. The goal is to remove tiles to expose the Lock and Key tiles. Once you match the specified number of Lock and Key tiles, the game ends even if other tiles remain on the board. You can earn up to 3 Stars per level, depending on how many moves it takes to remove the Lock and Key tiles, and you can replay the levels as often as you want, to try for a better star rating.
I don't recommend this game.
