Mosaics Galore

⠀

Love the Music, calming untill you reach a puzzle thats difficult.7/10

Worst version of the game. Shapes didnt match and timers made sure you dont have enough coins to finish the last level.

Mosaics Galore is like watching paint dry on an especially boring wall. There is better relaxation games out there... play Osmos!

This is a novel take on jigsaw puzzles. As such, it is well worth playing. However, the later games in the series have better mechanics and may be less frustrating, so you can skip this one and go straight to those. You are given a few pieces at a time to play. You have to pick up a piece, that may fit the puzzle, and put it where it belongs. If you are wrong, you lose one of the 3 possible stars for that game. In this first of the series, you have to keep the button pressed that picks up the piece, and release the button to drop it in its place. What happens is that, if your hold relaxes even slightly, the piece falls on the board, and registers a mistake, causing you to lose. This is very frustrating, especially when you know exactly where the piece is going. It's a problem they fixed in their later games. There are a few other problems as well. 1) The time they allot is unrealistically short for most of the games that come after the first set. You can buy more time with the points you may have accumulated, if you have enough. Alternatively, you can play the same game several times, remembering where some of the more difficult pieces go. 2) The start puts a random …

I will recommend this - with a caveat. The last rank will NOT unlock normally, you will need to purchase with the in-game coins. The last level that unlocks will be grind-able for the coins. That being said, this is an excellent set of puzzles and an excellent addition to the genre.
