I completed the hour demo and found this game as good or better than the previous 3 games in this series. I played only the colored scenes, so I cannot offer an opinion on the monochrome scenes.

I completed the hour demo and found this game as good or better than the previous 3 games in this series. I played only the colored scenes, so I cannot offer an opinion on the monochrome scenes.
The scenes start out fairly simple but quickly increase in complexity, making the game more challenging. There are several options available that can be combined in many variations, making the game good for beginners all the way to expert players. The colors are more vibrant with greater contrast that solves the issue with previous games where it was hard to fill the squares without making mistakes because the colors were so similar.
This is a definite buy for me. Show less

I recommend this game!

Review based on 50 minutes of the trial period.

Perhaps I'm biased as I own the previous 3 installments. I agree with another reviewer that said the colours are better; I still wish we had a few options to choose the tile pattern.

One feature I LOVE is the fact that you can toggle between seeing all the layers or only the layer you're working on: this eliminates confusion between colors that are similar because you can work on 1 color without seeing the resolved tiles of other colors (any unveiled tile of another color shows "blocked" instead of its color). FANTASTIC.

This will be another buy for me! Show less

I recommend this game!

It has been too long since there has been a puzzle game offered, so I was so excited. It's a good quality game, but a bit too easy. The flash around the squares is a bit distracting, but fun to play.

I love a good Mosaic Griddler game, but I wasn't thrilled by this one. Forest Riddles 4 was just an okay mosaic for me personally, others may love it, but the tiles are flat, the colors aren't very pretty (the color black is used quite frequently) and they use a lot of very similar colors side-by-side.

Demo only:
I love a good Mosaic Griddler game, but I wasn't thrilled by this one. Forest Riddles 4 was just an okay mosaic for me personally, others may love it, but the tiles are flat, the colors aren't very pretty (the color black is used quite frequently) and they use a lot of very similar colors side-by-side. I'm usually scrambling to hit the Buy Now button when a new Mosaic Griddler is offered, but I finished the entire demo and didn't feel the need to purchase this one, even though I wasn't able to complete the last mosaic.

The good news is that this one offers 100 Multi-colored Griddlers and 100 levels of the Monochrome Griddlers, and you can choose to play all of either style, or you can choose the Randomized option which throws in a mixture of both styles. In the Monochrome style, you can also choose the grid sizes of 5x5~5x10~10x5~10x10.

You can earn up to 3-Stars per level, the First Star is achieved by completing the Griddler, the Second Star if you make no Mistakes, and the Third Star if you don't use the Faries to help you solve the griddler. The Faries will Fill-in Two Random Cells each time they are used, and the Lantern Dims each time you make a Mistake. The completed images are easily recognized, and they are Labeled once the image has been completed. The Music is pleasant (Music Atelier Amacha) but tends to become quite repetitive because there aren't enough tracks in my opinion.

I liked the first forest riddles a lot so am playing this version in monochrome. My issue is there are far too many levels where you have no hope of solving it without a hint. However you are penalized a star if you use a hint. Would be a great game if the puzzles were solvable by logic. And you should not get penalized for using a hint.

I recommend this game!

I love griddlers / mosaic games and since there has only been one since Christmas ( Fantasy Mosaics 33) i was really hoping for a new one, but was disappointed in this. The developers of Forest Riddlers have not taken on board what has been the critical comments from the previous ones. The Wallpaper is too strong, the darker colours merge, and together with black spaces it is difficult to enjoy being very tedious and so easy to make mistakes. I like my puzzles to be challenging, but must be able to see the grid and the tiles clearly. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

I was so excited to see this new release from Forest Riddles. This developer provided some much needed challenge to these types of puzzles. They used colors very similar to each other so that when the picture was complete, it looked like a shaded painting instead of a cartoon drawing. What a nice change.

I was so excited to see this new release from Forest Riddles. This developer provided some much needed challenge to these types of puzzles. They used colors very similar to each other so that when the picture was complete, it looked like a shaded painting instead of a cartoon drawing. What a nice change. The puzzles took time and a lot of thought. SO FUN! Not every gamer wants the games to be so easy, it takes 60 seconds to finish the puzzle. But, they listened to the complaints about the difficulty, and churned out another sleepy nonagram game. What a shame! Show less

I don't recommend this game.

As a mosaic gridder, this game is not bad. Nice colors, moderately challenging. But the sound track is awful. It is two songs--yeah TWO songs--over and over and over. This is a good game to play with the sound off while you listen to the Rachael Maddow Show.

I recommend this game!

I was excited to see a new Forest Riddles game. I think I have bought all of the games in the series… except for this one. After playing the demo I decided not to buy it. It seems they have dropped the challenge level and …. if it's too easy it's just not fun for me. Perhaps I will get it with a BOGO offer on another game.

I don't recommend this game.
