Gizmos: Spirit Of The Christmas

I've been looking forward to the release of this title, and purchased it on its release date! As of writing this I've almost 2 hours of gameplay in.. and I'm super ecstatic that the series is being continued! The Gizmo games offer an auto-fill feature, once a line is completed, which is one of my favourite features of this game (it's also something that I've rarely run across in other nonogram games). The jigsaw puzzle mini-games offer a nice "break" inbetween puzzles! There is also a "perfect time" timer.. for those who like an extra challenge (which you can turn that off by setting the game to relaxed/casual mode).. as well as leaderboards and Steam Achievements. The snowy/holiday theme was done beautifully, and is even integrated as snowy blocks (within the look of the puzzle itself before completion). It also happens to be a super lightweight game specs-wise; which is great for those of us that play on low-end laptops! If you enjoy nonograms; I HIGHLY recommend adding this, as well as all of the other Gizmo titles, to your library! I hope there are MANY more titles yet to come in the Gizmos series! Well done Oleg Sereda! Keep up the great work! <3

Fantastic gridders game! Lots of options if you prefer a more casual version e.g. to play in black and white and/or without being timed or having to start again due to mis-clicks. Great theme and graphics. Kept me busy for hours and I will play again as there is lots of replay value. I bought this game as part of a 4 game bundle but will now seek out more by this developer.

A very enjoyable and somewhat challenging nonograms/picross game. Plenty of playtime for your money. It took me 38 hours to finish all levels, earning all achievements (in relaxed mode). Despite the goblins in the picture, and the Christmas title, it actually isn't very Christmas themed at all. Every now and then you have a small jigsaw puzzle to put together instead of a picross puzzle. This provides a nice break, though I wish the screen was a little bit bigger. Unfortunately I was unable to resize the screen, and the game doesn't have a zoom function. This could make some of the larger (30X30) puzzles difficult for people with vision issues. There is a relaxed mode which removes the time limit and also removes penalties for mistakes. I found this extremely helpful as I frequently misclicked.

Great puzzle game. Even after you solved all the puzzles, you'll never remember the exact solutions and will want to go back to see if you can best your own times. A homerun game.

I 100% recommend this game. These nonograms play well, but sadly there are none bigger than 30x30. The software works very well and has a nice, simplistic layout and all the standard functions you're looking for in a game like this. It is very much possible to solve all the nonograms within the given time frame, but some puzzles will be challenging time wise even for experienced puzzlers.

One of the better nonogram games on Steam. It has the features you need to properly play this game. Left click for a regular block, right click to put a negative block. You can drag accross the titles and it wont delete the previous blocks. It has a counter when you select multiple cells. And the biggest feature you can activate is that once the correct number of blocks are filled for a row or column the rest of the blocks are automatically put to negative blocks.
