Amazing game! There is everything I always loved in Hercules and Alicia Quatermain series, and some new interesting details. You collect not just common golden coins but Golden Fleece producing by sheep or farms. If you want to use bonuses, you have to build and then visit a mana well. The main characters work themselves without using additional workers, and that makes them self-sufficient. Nevertheless the characters are children. Not common children but Zeus’ sons and daughters, very strong and clever, but still children.
The story is quite interesting and narrated in a good way with verses in Ancient Greece style and funny dialogues. Hades envies his brother Zeus and decides to punish him for boasting. For that he asks Ate to cast an awful curse so that Zeus’ children fall down to the Earth, and their father forgets about them. Kids face many difficulties of life on the Earth, but stand all of them. After the Earth they get to the underground world and even to sea monster’s stomach! And it is really interesting to play in such locations.
The gameplay is well known and understandable. You repair buildings and bridges, remove roadblocks and collect resources. On easy and normal modes you can just relax and have fun earning three stars. Hard mode (if you want to earn three stars and beat the records) is a real challenge. In the beginning the goals and the levels are easy but after them the game becomes more interesting and you have to think where to go first, what to build and which bonus to use.
Also graphics is very good and bright; music is funny and not annoying.
Kids of Hellas is a nice game I’m going to play and play to beat all the records, earn every achievement, find all the puzzle pieces and unlock all the bonus levels. I’m really excited about such a great way to spend many hours.
I recommend this game!

I adore Travel Mosaics series, and I’m really glad that developers release new and new games about different towns and countries all over the world. Now it’s time for Rio de Janeiro. That’s an amazing place, and I believe that the bright colors, pictures and animation in the game show its beauty in the best way. There are 20 locations in the game. Every location is dedicated to a definite showplace of Rio, has its description (the “Book” icon) and 8 levels (7 nonograms and 1 bonus puzzle).
The player can choose the difficulty mode – easy, normal or hard. If you want just relax you can choose easy mode, use the bonuses and hints, answer the questions to earn additional hearts (lives) and have fun. If you’re a real profi and want to tune up your brains, you can choose the hard mode and try to finish every next level with 3 stars (that’s possible if you don’t use any bonuses and hints and don’t lose hearts). This way is a real challenge, and sometimes it takes a lot of time and mental efforts.
Travel Mosaics is a series for everyone who loves nonograms, interesting tasks and travels. And “Adventures in Rio” is great continuation of the series which is worth to be played.
I recommend this game!
The latest Travel Mosaics is here! Complete colorful nonogram puzzles and learn a lot of curious facts about Tokyo!

This game is a perfect choice for everyone who loves nonograms and other puzzles, nice music, colorful pictures, travelling and just well-made games. I’m one of such persons, so I really enjoy every next part of “Travel Mosaics” series. This time we join the Walker family in their tour around Tokyo. I didn’t know a lot about this town but now I’ve seen how nice it is. Of course it’s not the most important thing about this game but still… What is the most important thing? The great gameplay! Every next level brings you a new challenge and a good opportunity to create bright, unusual picture using only numbers on the screen and your own brain. In this part of series it’s possible to choose easy, normal or hard difficulty mode so work hard or just relax and spend a nice time. The music is very beautiful, absolutely not annoying, and for me it’s even another reason to enjoy the puzzles. I recommend this game to all the puzzle fans!

Generally, I like time management games, though many games of this sort are rather boring. But this cannot be said about “12 Labours of Hercules”, because this game is something special. It is rather funny, but I decided to play this game just because my dog’s name is Hercules.
The gameplay is quite common, but the plot is very interesting. It is necessary not only to run about collecting resources but also to think over the strategy for completing tasks in the best way possible to stay within the limited time. You need to be twice smart to play in the difficult mode, since it is a real challenge.
The game’s graphic is rather funny and visually pleasant. The music and the recitation of the verses in the old manner is gorgeous, as if a real ancient poet tells us this story of Hercules.
Having passed the game once, I’ve decided to replay it to collect all gold stars for each level. It makes me really fun.
I recommend this game!
