The Penguin movie must have been a success, because the Penguins are going on a much deserved vacation! The whole family is heading to the South Pole, and hopefully they'll discover some vacation mementos to decorate that never-ending garden.

Fantasy Mosaics 22: Summer Vacation, still has 6 different color bubbles availlable, that are bright, cheery and very colorful. You can switch between the color bubbles to help you solve these colorful griddlers, and you can earn a Gold trophy if you make no mistakes, a Silver trophy if you make one mistake and a Bronze trophy if you make two mistakes, three mistakes require you to replay the level. You will also earn up to three gold Stars if you don't use any hints, one star is deducted each time you use a hint. Therefore, it is possible to make a mistake or two but still earn 3 stars as long as you don't use any available hints.

This is a griddler or mosaic type puzzle game where you fill in and cross of cells on various sized grids, using logic, so you'll never have to guess. (unlike some griddler games) They aren't easy puzzles to solve at times, but I love the challenge. If you are new to mosaic games, I suggest trying one of the earlier versions of Fantasy Mosaics. There are groups of numbers located on each column and row of the grid, each group of numbers must be separated by at least one blank or crossed off cell. Sometimes it's easier to figure out where numbers can't possibly fit to reduce the amount of cells and narrow the playing field down a bit. Some cells contain bonuses such as extra hints, extra mistakes allowed or an extra pickaxe which allows you to choose which cell you want a hint on. There is a Sun icon as well that when fully charged, will give you a mega hint, filling in or crossing off a 3x3 area of your choice.

The one feature that makes Fantasy Mosaics stand out from the rest of the griddler games, is the vibrant array of colors available, and now there's six different colors used to make the pictures even better. In this version, I think the pictures are really interesting, and really pop with all the new colors added. It can also help you solve the puzzle when you get stuck, because you can switch to another color which ultimately narrows down the available cells. Unlike many griddler games, these pictures actually make sense, because they have six different colors you know what image you have created.

This is my favorite Mosaic Griddler series and is one of the best available, and certainly the most colorful. This is a must have game for griddler geeks and an immediate purchase for this geek. I'll spend the entire day playing it, enjoy Show less

I recommend this game!

I love this series, but this particular one is my favorite. The decorations that you "earn" are better than ones in the other FM games. Actual buildings and fun pets!

Another beautiful and fun Fantasy Mosaics game...how could I be so lucky?! I was afraid the devs might be close to running out of pictures to create, but they just get better and better. Love the game and love the music!!! Please keep your thinking caps on devs and let the Penguins celebrate all facets of life. In other words...don't ever quit bringing the Penguins back with their adventures!!! ...Show more

OVERVIEW: What a wonderful Monday surprise! It is summer! Our Penguin family is looking for a “cool” place to spend their vacation. Why not enjoy some time away from the heat and spend it at the friendly ice-filled waters of the South Pole? Our Penguin family is off on a family vacation to this frosty retreat to catch up with some old friends.

A BIG THANK you to BFG for offering a game in one of my favorite genres. This is another excellent 5-star game from Match Gems. I have been anxiously awaiting a new game from this developer. I have played every game in the series and this game is designed exactly like the others. There are some new colors to enjoy in this game as well!

I LOVE these games and Match Gems is one of the BEST developers for this type of game. This puzzle has many different names (AKA O’Ekaki, Griddlers, Paint-by-Numbers, Pic-a-Pix, Nonograms or whatever you call them); however, no matter the name they are a fun puzzle game.

HOW TO PLAY: This is variety of a Sudoku puzzle. In this puzzle, create pictures by filling in squares in a grid. The grids in this game will vary in size. Each side of the grid will have numbers for each line of squares indicating the number of squares which are to be filled in for that row of squares. Squares are filled in where the squares intersect between the two sets of numbers on each side.

GAME FACTS:

• Levels: Casual and Advanced.
• Colors: The game has up to six colored screens which can be switched at any time while playing the puzzle.
• Autofill: There is autofill so you do not have to fill in the unused boxes. However, you can use your mouse to right click “X’s” for unused spaces.
• Hints: Hints are given as you proceed and are based on the difficulty of the puzzle and how well you perform in solving the grid
• Number of Levels and Puzzles: There are 100 puzzles – 20 levels with 5 puzzles per level in the game.
• Aids: You have a pickax as an aid in the game
• Awards: There are 3 trophies: a gold trophy for no mistakes, a silver trophy for 1 mistake, and a bronze trophy for two mistakes. If you make 3 mistakes, you must start the game over again.
• Collectibles. When you complete one level of 5 puzzles, you receive an item to place in your garden.

I highly recommend this game if you like Sudoku games or any type of mathematical puzzle. Show less

Am enjoying the game greatly. I have only had revealed 3 things in the garden so far. While lovely, you are not likely to find these at the South Pole. No fauna or trees or other such are found there--only miles deep of ice and snow. But that's okay. Would be a pretty boring garden to depict it accurately.

I recommend this game!

I love these puzzles, but the Fantasy series lacks enough levels. This is why I scored 4 stars rather than 5. We want more please!!

As much as I have enjoyed playing all the Fantasy Mosaics must say I am expecting more from them as time goes on. The colors in this one are the same as usual, some have less than six. The challenge does not increase much, the grids are all 15 x 20 or less.I think they have had a great run and formula, the puzzles have set the standard. Now it is more than time for them to take it up a few notches ...Show more
