If you are a fan of nanograms, pic cross, mosaic puzzles, you're in for a treat with this game. There are setting to allow for full or widescreen, and you can disable the voice encouragements, background and images, mute and you can choose to have the game automatically fill in blank cells for you. There are achievements to earn such as no misclicks, no hints used, perfect time, playing for 5 and even 10 hours as well as earning bronze, silver or gold trophies. Each game allows for 6 mistakes and each cell you correctly fill will also fill up 4 energy vessels that can be used as hints to fill in several random cells. There is an available tutorial, the basics of the game are fairly easy to figure out. Nonogram grids consist of cells that can be filled in or left blank to solve the puzzle. The numbers along the sides of the grid indicate the number of filled-in cells in the rows and columns. You fill in cells with the left mouse button and cross out cells using the right mouse buttons, every filled cell will be divided with an empty cell. This game has 5 puzzles to each level with groups of pictures such as DNA, cells, and atoms followed by a jigsaw mini game and then the next level has pictures pertaining to weather such as tornados, rain and lightning. If you are a beginner or hardcore nonogramer this game is going to thrill you, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

I am the analytical type and this type of game is right up my alley. The Gizmo developers have outdone themselves really getting into the heart of what makes a Nonogram rock.

I am the analytical type and this type of game is right up my alley. The Gizmo developers have outdone themselves really getting into the heart of what makes a Nonogram rock.

The first thing any gamer should do with any game, in my humble opinion, is to check out the "options". If the folk that gave Gizmos a bad rating would have done that they would have realized that all of what they were moaning about is actually under their control and that's exactly what makes Gizmos and the 2 further ones in the series so special.

1. Autofill - what a marvelous idea and now I don't even ever want to look at a Nonogram that doesn't offer that. This means that once you have filled all the given spots in a row/column it autofills the rest with blanks, so no more mindless clicking to get that done.
2. System cursor - a must in a game were precision clicking is important. On some displays the custom game cursor is fine, on most it isn't good enough (I wished this lesson was learned by the HO developers).
3. Turn off background images - again, to be able to work a Nonogram properly background pictures are distracting and make it harder to see the rows/columns
4. Sizing of the game field, which in turn will size the individual intersecting fields. For me it didn't look right when the squares were not true squares but stretched in one dimension, so I just sized it to fit my visual taste.
5. Great fun music that didn't get boring or tedious after sitting over various pictures for hours while at the same time being calm enough to not give one half a heart attack, so very fitting the type of mood a Nonogram creates.
6. Fun story line - not that that really matters in a Nonogram, but what a nice surprise.
7. Lots of lekker, increasingly harder levels with super well drawn images, that were real fun to look at.
8. Good challenge without overdoing it with a board up to 30x30
9. A neat, challenging but achievable scoring system with being able to get standard, silver or gold. Loved it and did so many of the images over to better my score. It was also displayed in a neat way were one from each page could immediately see which image one didn't get a good score.
10. Hints available ... for a price. Again, well executed, achievable and neatly fitting into the overall experience.

In Summary, if you are looking for a great Nonogram look no further than the 3 available Gizmo games, they really nailed it on the head - just don't forget to tailor the options to your liking. Show less

I absolutely love nanograms.
The only problem is that they never are challenging enough at the higher levels. Not so with this game. You have to be completely on the ball to avoid any miss clicks in the end games.

I recommend this game!

This is the first time I played these sort of games so it was a bit difficult at first but after a couple of puzzles I got the hang of it. So I simply like to say "I love it".

I recommend this game!
