Another good griddler game. I will admit it is a little hard to see as there is little contrast in some scenes. However, I like the concentration. I went back and bought some of the older ones recently. Thanks!

I recommend this game!

I had cancelled my game account because I just wasn't enjoying games anymore. They all seemed to be the same game. However, I just reinstated my account so I could buy this particular griddler. I know the ratings are low on this, but I really liked this griddler. The 8 Floor griddlers are among the most challenging, and that is because they don't have multiple colors. They have made some changes though, such as showing completed puzzle images so you know what you solved. It's not so easy to tell what some images are since there are no additional colors, but at least the guesswork has been eliminated now. They still don't bother with a storyline, which is why I gave the game a 4 instead of a 5. I know some players would like additional colors. The puzzles would certainly be easier. When there are different colors, it makes the puzzle more visually appealing, but unless you have trouble distinguishing colors - which I sometimes do - having additional colors generally makes the puzzle easier. So, it's good that these griddlers are available for people who really want a challenge. If I don't want a challenge, I'll play a griddler with multiple colors or solitaire, but if I want a challenging griddler, 8 Floor is one of the best for that. Show less

I recommend this game!

It Isn't A Picnic If You Have To Use A Hint Or Guess On Some Puzzles Instead Of Using Logic

fromAt least some of the pictures are recognizable, but what a bland color choice!

This game is no different than the ton's of other games offered by this developer. The features are all the same, the music is the same, even the grid sizes are the same.

This game is no different than the ton's of other games offered by this developer. The features are all the same, the music is the same, even the grid sizes are the same. All they change from one game to the next, is the scenery and the images the grids make. My biggest complaint is that just during the demo alone, there were two different puzzles that couldn't be solved using logic alone, which is what these games are supposed to be about. In order to finish these two puzzles, I had to use the Hint Feature, or I could have chosen to "guess" which is a super big No-No in the griddler world!

The idea behind this type of puzzle is to either fill in or cross off square tiles in a grid of a specific size. There are numbers or sometimes groups of numbers located on all columns and rows, which indicate how many cells must be filled in, each group of numbers must be separated by at least one crossed off cell. Each filled in cell contains a coin, and some of them contain bonus coins which can be used to buy extra hints, refill hints on the current level, or rights to make three mistakes instead of 2. You will earn three gold stars, and a star is deducted for each mistake made.

There are 7 Beginner tutorial levels, and one Expert level available to learn or brush up on your Griddler Mosaic skills, and there are 6 Rooms in the Adventure mode which offer 20 griddler puzzles in each room. There are Trophies to earn as well, and any puzzle can be replayed as often as you want, to try to earn a better score. Personally, I have to replay the puzzle if I make a mistake, which always seems to happen right at the very end of the puzzle.. There just isn't any incentives in this game that make me want to purchase it, or even use a coupon. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

I love griddlers/nonograms/whatever you want to call them. This particular game, though, is very hard to see as the numbers are a faint white against a very light background. There is no "story" content or any educational commentary. And after playing only a few levels, I've already been forced to "guess" (which shouldn't happen in this type game) or buy hints.

Since this is one of my favorite types of game, I enjoyed playing the demo. But. The very neutral palette (soft grays, taupes) made it a little annoying to play. I don't prefer peering at my screen in order to read the numbers and play the puzzle. A little contrast would make it much more enjoyable!

Otherwise, a good game!

I recommend this game!

Like other reviewers have mentioned, there is guessing involved in some of the puzzles, which is really frustrating. The 2nd puzzle had one spot that had to be guessed. Not a big deal. And then I completed a whole bunch of puzzles with no guessing and thought maybe the other reviewers got it wrong. But then I got to the 17th puzzle, and probably 90% of the board would have been guesses. I also ...Show more

But then I got to the 17th puzzle, and probably 90% of the board would have been guesses. I also will not be finishing the demo. Completely pointless to play a logic game that you can't solve with logic.
And like others have said, the white numbers against the gray background is hard to see, especially once they've been crossed off. But my biggest problem with the numbers is that the font they used makes the number 1 look an awful lot like the number 7. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

I usually like the nonogram, mosaic, griddler puzzle games. They are great to do while the tv is playing in the background. However, I didn't care for this one. The numbers on the top/sides were very difficult to read and see if they had been scratched out. There was no sound which made it, to me, a bit creepy. I checked my computer, my sound works great.

I LOVE these types of games. I have had some problems with games from this developer in the past, namely that you can't solve some of their puzzles without guessing or using a hint.

The problem with this one is that I have a Mac and the game can't seem to tell if I am left-clicking or right-clicking. With many repeats I got to Level 6 of the first Adventure ...Show more

The problem with this one is that I have a Mac and the game can't seem to tell if I am left-clicking or right-clicking. With many repeats I got to Level 6 of the first Adventure and then gave up and deleted the game.

If you have a computer that has a 3 button mouse, go for it. The game should be fun. Show less

Another backward step in griddler/mosaic games. I absolutely hate (did I say HATE) that swishing sound. I know I can turn it off but I want to hear something. One color? Let's get to at least four. Now the background crossed off squares are darker than the picture. Would like to have some of the more unrecognizable pictures named, especially when the Xs predominate.

I played the demo and thought fun but after purchasing the game I wish I had read all of the reviews. I am so sorry I went ahead a bought the game. It is just to difficult to proceed in levels with the dull lighting of the numbers and only allowed two mistakes. I will not recommend it to anyone. In fact I just lost my money and will not purchase any more games from this line.

I don't recommend this game.
