Maybe I'm just having a bad day but I found this game to be somewhat difficult after just a few levels! This griddler game has a Greek theme centered around the Gods of Mount Olympus. There are 6 different rooms with approximately 20 levels in each room, with the goal of three gold stars in each level, but you can replay any level to try for a better score. I will say however that when I exited this game, it said that my progress wouldn't be saved! Some of the tiles have coins that are collected and can be used in the shop to purchase bonuses, Two mistakes allowed, Two starting hints instead of one and you can purchase a refill of hints for that level. There are 17 available trophies or achievements to earn, and you will lose a star for each mistake that you make. Enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

Finally a nanogram where logic can be used to solve the puzzles!!!

This game allows you to buy more "mistakes" and "hints" but you won't need them if you like using logic to figure out the puzzles.

The game is stingy by only allowing one true mistake before having to restart a puzzle, but this is easily remedied by using earned coins to purchase "mistakes".

The music is fine and I always keep it on low as a type of soft background sound.

I bought the game after playing the whole demo and I don't regret it. I can't stop playing.

This is a no-frills nanogram that uses logic and if you are like I am and never use hints....this is the game for you. Show less

I have found these to be my favorite games right now. You don't have to start out as a beginner, you start out with good grids. I don't think the pictures are the greatest but I like that it gets a bit harder as you level up.

I recommend this game!

I've not played another nanogram game except as mini games in adventure and hidden object game. I enjoyed the mini game when I played them and was curious when this one came out. 1st because of the theme and then when I saw the type of game. It is a pity there really isn't a story line but we can't have everything. Sometimes that's fun but sometimes if it's not a great story it ends up being annoying. To get used to this type of game no story is probably best.
I'll be sure to get this one when I get a game credit. Show less

Another welcome addition to the "griddlers" collection. It is a mosaic puzzle, you really don't need much of a storyline. In this game you earn coins to buy extra hints, mistake forgiveness, etc. These are wonderful games and this is no exception. A great game for the whole family.

I recommend this game!

There are 6 rooms/locations with 20 levels/grids within each room. Points are earned when specific tiles are clicked correctly. Each grid starts out with 3 stars; with each mistaken click, one star is lost. In order to unlock the next grid, you must earn enough points, or make no mistakes and maintain the 3 stars.

There are 6 rooms/locations with 20 levels/grids within each room. Points are earned when specific tiles are clicked correctly. Each grid starts out with 3 stars; with each mistaken click, one star is lost. In order to unlock the next grid, you must earn enough points, or make no mistakes and maintain the 3 stars. With this many grids available for play, this is a game that I will keep going back to; it isn't something that can be finished quickly.

There are no time limits on the grids, which is a big plus in my book.

Each grid starts with one available hint. Hints are added randomly as play continues. If you run out of hints, you can purchase more hints or have mistakes forgiven using the points you have earned. Even if you run out of hints once, with continued play on the same grid, you will earn more hints.

There are also 17 trophies to earn, 6 for completing each room, several for earning stars and various amounts of points. There is also one for using 15 hints. There is one that I believe is unattainable; finishing a grid in 30 seconds. And since this one is unattainable, it makes another one also unattainable, winning all the trophies. This is a little frustrating, but I guess if you had the time and patience and copied a completed grid you could possibly make the 30 second trophy. Winning all 17 trophies isn't that important to me, particularly if you have to cheat to do it.

The grids are not too big, which means the tiles are good sized and don't lead to misclicks. But don't let the size of the grid fool you; they are not easy. I used a lot of hints, including ones I purchased.

The only other thing that bothered me was that it was hard to see when I made a mistake. Often I would finish a grid, thinking I had made no mistakes, only to see that I had lost a star and had to replay it to keep the 3 stars, I know an "X" appears to the left of the grid to indicate a mistake, but when I am concentrating on the grid, I don't see the "X's" until I'm through. Maybe a red circle or some other visual (not audio) clue to indicate a mistake had been made would be a good addition.

The graphics are excellent with colors that are easy on the eyes. This is a very enjoyable game, not too easy but also not so hard to be frustrating. Show less

I can play for hours and hours. It is addictive and challenging. Trying to figure out the puzzle and not to earn any stars to lower the score or have to repeat a level takes logic and brain power. I wish there were more of this type of game as it exercises my brain and my patience.

I recommend this game!

This is a nice little nonogram game which does not penalize you time wise. In other games, in order to get 3 stars, one has to get a specific "expert" time. Here we are timed, but it is more to see how long it took you and to challenge your best time. In order to get three stars one has to not make any mistakes.

This is a nice little nonogram game which does not penalize you time wise. In other games, in order to get 3 stars, one has to get a specific "expert" time. Here we are timed, but it is more to see how long it took you and to challenge your best time. In order to get three stars one has to not make any mistakes. If one makes 3 mistakes, one must start over to complete the level. We are given hints, that when clicked on will show a correct tile. We gather coins that we can buy more hints with in the store, or can buy 2 starting hints. The system for choosing tiles is right or left mouse clicks (left correct, right incorrect). The problem came a couple times when I was sure I clicked one side of the mouse but it registered incorrectly, so be careful with your mouse. I don't know if there is a different option for choosing such as using a key on a key board. One nice feature is that one can drag and click to select several tiles at once. The level of the nonograms quickly became not so easy unlike other games where they went from 5 to 10 squares these went nearly straight to 15 squares. There does seem to be a shape with some symmetry to the nonogram so that one can make some inferences. If you like nonograms I think you will like this one. The music is ok, but I tend to be able to tune it out. The English grammar leaves something to be desired, though. Happy solving! Show less

I really cannot tell you what the story is here because there is no intro, no text and no voice-overs, just a good game of solving grids. If you are a fan of these grid puzzles, which incedently I am, then you may enjoy this game.

I really cannot tell you what the story is here because there is no intro, no text and no voice-overs, just a good game of solving grids. If you are a fan of these grid puzzles, which incedently I am, then you may enjoy this game. No frills or anmations to distract you, just one grid after another, and trust me, they get challenging from the get go.

THe graphics were sharp, colorful but like I said, no animations and no text to read but I ldid love the greek music playing in the back ground. There is a very short tutorial in the begiinig and each board begins with your basic grid game. You have your hints and gradually, as you collect your coins, you an visit the shop and buy extra hints or the right to make mistakes.

The grids start off easy, but by the forth level, they got more difficult and by the sixth, I found myself pressing the replay button in order to earn the three gold stars at the end of each level. There are trophies to earn which is always a good incentive.

I have played better grid puzzles but oddly enough, I enjoyed the simplicity of this game. Very straight forward and not complicated. I admit, I am an addict and will be adding this game to my collection of games to play when no one is looking. An ideal way to zone out and just solve one puzzle after another and earn those gold stars. Show less

I recommend this game!
