Totally based solely on logic, as these games should be. Options include autofill. Color or no color, as you choose. Pictures make no particular sense, but that's fine with me. I've bought every Gizmos game, and will continue to do so!
I recommend this game!

I love nanograms and this starts off with 10x10, and just enough challenge to get you in the groove. Jigsaws show up and are a nice break. The only "difficulty" is beating the "perfect time" - but that keeps me interested and on my toes. I wish the boxes were square rather than rectangular but that's a minor quibble. Make is a little harder to count which is what may be slowing me down.
I recommend this game!

Storyline is just not for me - I don't do paranormal. Puzzles etc were easy, no challenge at all. Boring, and didn't finish demo.
I don't recommend this game.

Lovely game. Music was nice, but some sound effects were grating, especially the moaning of the sick guy. Owl was screechy, so I wouldn't really recommend playing with much sound on.
The game play, even in hard mode, was obvious and fairly easy. Not for me, but I'm sure lots of folks will like it.

The graphics were colorful and bright. The setting was a bit different from the usual. Various levels of difficulty are available, but I still found the game to be too easy to hold my interest. Would be a buy for many.

I wanted so much to love this game - it has everything I like in games of this type, great graphics, smooth play, new scenes and more. But, even in hardest mode, there's no challenge. I am so disappointed, but otherwise a beautiful game and I would recommend it, just not for me.

I loved this game! It was unusual in that there was no missing spouse/prince/father/ etc to find, just an adventure with unusual characters of all types - except humans. I don't ordinarily like fantasy fairy-tale creatures but this captured my imagination. Most of the games seemed to be different and challenging enough to keep my attention. I did not need to use any hints though without the black-bar tips that wouldn't have been the case. Just lots of fun!
I recommend this game!

The story isn't usually that important to me but I did enjoy this one - and a good mystery.
Play was different, surprising, interesting.
The unavoidable dialogue was a bit disruptive and annoying but I could live with it to get to the games. The games themselves seem to have a different twist to them and were challenging.

The graphics in Cursery could be beautiful but I just found them messy and too busy. Overdone.
The game play was okay, but the first puzzle game just didn't work, technical issues apparently. I just don't have the patience.

Oh grumble - such a beautiful game, interesting story which I don't usually care about but this one grabbed me. But so easy even on hardest level. I'm disappointed but there are lots of folks who will love it.
