Have you ever been so engrossed in the one hour trial demo of a game that you are surprised by the sudden and abrupt ending to the demo? (and have you noticed it always ends when you are almost finished with your puzzle) Well, that's how I felt when this game ended and I scrambled to hit the "buy now" button so I could get back to the solid entertainment this game provides. I will also admit that I rarely purchase Griddler games outside of my favorite series with Mr. Penguin, so mums the word on this one, lol! This is the third installment of Rainbow Mosaics, and they are quickly becoming my favorite griddler go to game.

There's somewhat of a story as you join Cate who is helping her grandmother restore her garden for the upcoming garden event. In a Mosaic griddler game I don't really care much about the storyline, I just want to be challenged somewhat, and I want bright colors that form a picture a can actually recognize. Rainbow Mosaics delivered all that and more, and even gives me the option to choose from several different types of filled cells, my favorite was the lego style,but there are 7 different styles of cells to choose from.

There are 3 types of bonuses available, the Hammer allows you to open a cell of your choice, the Eye Power opens a random right square of cells and the Grid opens a chosen area without negative outcomes. You can earn up to 3 gold stars for the usual goals of finishing the grid without hints or more than one mistake. Each filled in cell will earn you coins or bonuses that can be used to purchase upgrades of each power-up, or you can decorate Grandma's garden gazebos, flowers and various plants. There are Trophies to earn as well, but I just enjoy the relaxation I receive when playing a good mosaic griddler game where each puzzle is just a tad bit more challenging than the previous one. Now that my game has finished downloading I'm ready to finish the grid I almost accomplished before the trial ended, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

Wow, finally we have an excellent new game in the field of griddler type puzzles. I am a huge fan of the penguin family and had almost given up hope that any other developer could do these games as well.

Wow, finally we have an excellent new game in the field of griddler type puzzles. I am a huge fan of the penguin family and had almost given up hope that any other developer could do these games as well. This morning when I tried Rainbow Mosaics Blooming Garden, I knew it was a game I had to add to my gaming library. Griddler type games are the ones I always turn to when I feel like I need a break from my daily routine. I had given up hope that I would ever find a griddler game that I love as much as I do that “other one.”

The graphics are excellent and although the grids are a bit smaller in size they are clear. Not only do we have grids with several different color options, there are several tile sets to select when setting up the game. The background music is good but, the dialogue really, really, needs some grammatical help. I have a feeling the days of “polishing” up a game are long gone here in the pond. That minor complaint out of the way, there is so much to love about this game that makes it terrific. Rainbow Mosaics offers the ease of use that my other favorite griddler provides. I like the auto-fill feature that completes the empty cells once we mark the ones in a row or column that have been marked with all available cells. I also like the little dots that we place in unused cells which are so much better than having to use some huge and annoying push pin to fill a cell.

Rainbow Mosaics Blooming Garden is an instant buy for me but, as always, please try the demo to see if this is a game you will enjoy. Show less

I recommend this game!

When the very first line of the story states "Grandma was on the make" how could this not be a fun game? Seriously, I love everything about the Rainbow Mosaics series even if the English translation is off.

I love that I can change the tiles to different textures, which is something none of the other griddler games have.

When the very first line of the story states "Grandma was on the make" how could this not be a fun game? Seriously, I love everything about the Rainbow Mosaics series even if the English translation is off.

I love that I can change the tiles to different textures, which is something none of the other griddler games have.

I appreciate the two modes of game play ~ normal and expert. If you play the normal mode, the tiles you don't use are automatically crossed off for you, which some of these nonogram games don't do for you.

I especially like that there are several colors involved in the solving process and that using the powerups do not count against you when it comes to scoring.

Buying items to improve your grandma's garden also adds to the enjoyment of the game and it's a fun little break from the constant grid solving.

Although the background graphics are hand drawn and cartoon-style, they do not take anything away from the game. Also, the music is better than most and not aggravating.

All in all, if you love math and logic, I highly recommend the Rainbow Mosaics series ~ it gives you the most bang for your buck, as they say. Show less

I recommend this game!

I love nonograms, buy them all, and the "Rainbow Mosaics" gang are right up there with the Penguin group. It's great to have another one!

This one builds on the other two, and goes beyond them in story and artwork. I find decorating a garden to be enjoyable!

I also like their mechanics. Their 3 powerups are more helpful than most, as you can use them wherever you want. (No crossing your fingers, hoping the hint will land where you need it.) Plus you earn them back as you play.

They also use that lovely bit of tech that fills in the empty spaces after you have solved the row/column. I wish they all would do that. It is a pain in the middle finger to "cross out" the empty spaces of a row of twenty, solved with a 2 and a 3!

Bravo, Rainbow Mosaics! Keep them coming! Show less

I enjoyed playing the last Rainbow Mosaic game so much and I'm glad another one has been brought out. I enjoy Mosaic games - these are the best in my opinion! I bought this one within 2 minutes of trying it out. Fun to play with a storyline running through it to. It ticks all the boxes for me!

These were really hard for THIS newbie to this kind of puzzle. I was always reading the excited reviewers tell of the Fantasy Mosaic games, so I just finally had to jump in head-on. Glutton for punishment that I am, I bought most of those AND this game!

I am quite good at logic and strategy, but when I make too many errors and have to start over my memory goes haywire. It is difficult at this point, but really so much fun creating the pictures. And oh so satisfying when a picture is finally finished. As I struggled with frustration I sometimes resorted to marking my boxes on a grid sheet when I only had one error left ( basically a form of cheating I guess), to refer to when restarting, but it saved my memory cells from exploding.

Now that it is no longer so frustrating, I love the challenge and find these puzzles surprisingly relaxing and they provide MANY hours, days of fun. Blooming Garden is a favorite, as the pictures are colorful and easy to recognize (like Fantasy Mosaics). After my great learning experience, I can happily recommend this game (and with no cheating!) HURRAY!! If you feel like giving up, just hang in there and you'll discover a new kind of fun!

The game starts easy and becomes more challenging as you progress. Go from color to color until each puzzle is solved. I liked it so well that I set up another profile so I can play again. And I purchased others in the Rainbow Mosaics series. RELAX AND ENJOY!!
