Is this their first mosaic game? Seems amateurish.

This review refers to the demo version.
I love mosaics and space, so this game seemed like a perfect match. Ultimately it was disappointing.

First of all, it doesn't follow the typical pattern of puzzles that gradually increase in difficulty.
First puzzle: typical simplistic starter puzzle.
Second puzzle: big jump in both size and complexity but still okay.
Third puzzle: lovely space scene, BUT there were no grid lines to help you count spaces.
Fourth puzzle: Bzzzt!! This one-color puzzle had a section where you had to GUESS every single (because they were all singles) mark because logic had nothing to do with it.

It was at this point that I bailed out. This is supposed to be a logic game, not a guessing game.
Other positives: I liked the "space-y" music and the lovely backgrounds. I even liked the puzzle that created a space scene—except for the lack of grid lines, which is why this got a 4 instead of a 5 on visual/sound. The customization options were more detailed than you usually get with a mosaic game, including a variable timer on the hint.
Other negatives: the controls for setting the challenge level were very clunky. There was a "time bonus" that stayed in play even with the game timer turned off. You could turn it off, but it was a separate item, and no explanation of what this bonus actually accomplished. Menu boxes looked very basic/plain but had long lists. Also there didn't seem to be an option to set the game for less than full screen, nor to select the appearance of the "gems" in the squares.
I don't recommend this game.
