Well, I made it through the first chapter and find it to be a pretty good game. It is pretty tough, but I am stubborn and have a strategy that works pretty well....guess because I've done so many 'Griddlers'. I first do the obvious moves with each color and then my strategy comes into play.

Well, I made it through the first chapter and find it to be a pretty good game. It is pretty tough, but I am stubborn and have a strategy that works pretty well....guess because I've done so many 'Griddlers'. I first do the obvious moves with each color and then my strategy comes into play. I enjoy figuring things out, so, even though I get frustrated, finishing a puzzle without pulling out any hair is a good thing! I don't like the music as well as Hercules, which I also bought, but the challenge is great for this 76 year old! Show less

I recommend this game!

I like this game..I am a big fan of the Gridders Puzzles and I do not feel it is a guessing game only. I think it is more a matter of the process of elimination. Same with 12 labors of Hercules.

I recommend this game!

If you like a real challenge with your griddlers, this is it. I've spent countless hours on this game, so I feel like I've gotten my money's worth. At times it's frustrating, and I've had to play many levels several times to get even 1 star. The one thing I really don't like is the tiny puzzles with numbers almost impossible to read. I don't think that's necessary and it hurts my eyes.

I recommend this game!

I am a fan of some mosaics but this one didn't quite make the mark. Fairly easy to figure out where you should chose and logic and good guessing does come into play. Good thing is you can replay the level and, hopefully, remember where NOT to choose.
Graphics are nice and colorful which I like and some commented on the music which I wasn't even aware of.

I am not going to recommend this one only because I didn't find it that interesting.
But, play the demo and find out for yourself. This might be THE game you have been looking for.
Above all, Have fun! Show less

I don't recommend this game.

These games are normally based on logic but this one seems to be pure guesswork. The graphics, i.e. the numbers on the grid are not clear.

Altogether, this game appears to have been put together hurriedly.

I don't recommend this game.

I tried it for 5 minutes. Couldn't handle the total look of the game. I do not use sound so can't rate that portion. Didn't like the game at all. It does complete the row or column once you fill in the correct space. This may be an ok game for beginners to this type of challenge but not a buy for me.

I don't recommend this game.

I tried the game regardless of the other interviews. Unfortunately they were correct. Too dim in the numbers and when you get to where there are several places for the ones to fit it you must guess where. I am sorry I was hoping it would be better. I will not purchase. I did not listen to the story or the music which I find distracting when trying to solve puzzles.

This game is a big disappointment. I liked the art work, Old school Hawaii. The puzzles start off fine but by the middle of the game the squares are so small and the numbers so tiny you can not see them. I also felt as the game got harder you had to do some guessing to finish. That ceased to matter because by the time i got to level 60 I could not tell the difference between a six and an eight and ...Show more

This game is a big disappointment. I liked the art work, Old school Hawaii. The puzzles start off fine but by the middle of the game the squares are so small and the numbers so tiny you can not see them. I also felt as the game got harder you had to do some guessing to finish. That ceased to matter because by the time i got to level 60 I could not tell the difference between a six and an eight and was struggling to make out the rest of the letters so I quit. Play for free until your time runs out if you must but don't waste your money buying it. Show less

The best Griddlers require us to think, to strategize, to use our ability to solve them with logic and experience, and that require only one tool: our brains. This game doesn't play fair. Within the first 10 games, we encounter levels that we cannot win except by making lucky guesses or using a hint, which of course takes away the third star.

The best Griddlers require us to think, to strategize, to use our ability to solve them with logic and experience, and that require only one tool: our brains. This game doesn't play fair. Within the first 10 games, we encounter levels that we cannot win except by making lucky guesses or using a hint, which of course takes away the third star. I don't throw dice and I don't play Griddlers for guessing games. I play them for the challenge and for the satisfaction of solving even the most difficult games with strategy. Even though this game has a nice appeal, with enjoyable music, it's nothing I would buy. It's not worth playing if I can win only by luck. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

Tropical Delight isn't delightful at all! This griddler is made by the same devs that released the Hercules griddler a few days back, only worse, much worse! Before starting the first of 120 griddler puzzle, a written tutorial pops up to explain the rules of engagement so to speak.

Tropical Delight isn't delightful at all! This griddler is made by the same devs that released the Hercules griddler a few days back, only worse, much worse! Before starting the first of 120 griddler puzzle, a written tutorial pops up to explain the rules of engagement so to speak. The tutorial starts out by saying, " To solve a griddler you need to GUESS and fill up colored squares." Say What!!!! They are right, however, because with this griddler, you will have to guess or use hints in order to solve these puzzles, even on the very first puzzle, in fact, with just about all of them.

The number one rule of thumb for a Griddler game is, never guess. These types of puzzles should be solved using logic, not hints, and certainly not by guessing. This game is designed for you to use the available hints, so much so, that you'll have to use coins earned to fill them back up, especially when the game progresses to larger, more difficult puzzles. You can earn 11 Souvenir's which are simply achievements earned for making it to specific levels.

With the coins earned, you can purchase upgrades in the shop to help you as far as the hint feature goes. the Full Bloom hint will open 1 random square, the next upgrade opens 2 random squares. the Tide feature opens 1 square of your choice the next upgrade opens 2 squares of your choice, and the Volcano feature opens 5 squares of your choice, the next upgrade opens 9 squares.

This game gives you no choice but to use their hint system, or guess. Either choice is not a good option, and are features I simply don't want in a Griddler Mosaic game. This is a resounding NO from me across the board, a no for entertainment, a no for graphics and features, and an even bigger no for recommendation! Show less

I don't recommend this game.
