Sail Ho! I spy some pirate treasure - a nonogram treasure. What a nice surprise for a Grumpy Cat Monday! Ahoy mates! The Grumpster is all decked out today with an eyepatch and ready to weigh anchor and play this nonogram.

Sail Ho! I spy some pirate treasure - a nonogram treasure. What a nice surprise for a Grumpy Cat Monday! Ahoy mates! The Grumpster is all decked out today with an eyepatch and ready to weigh anchor and play this nonogram. My two favorite things are paired together - Pirates (I have always wanted to be a pirate) and O'Ekaki (AKA - pictograms, nonograms, paint by number - or add a name of your own).

As a cabin girl, I used to play these by hand in puzzle magazines. I LOVE these games. However, that being said, I have become spoiled and wish this dev would update their gaming technology. Another dev providing these games provides "auto fill" for the blank spaces in this puzzle. Also, the other dev provides finished pictures with multiple colors. Having to "click" in crossed swords in the empty spaces is rather time consuming. I will still purchase via a coupon, but would like to see this dev update this game. Show less

I recommend this game!

I love Pirate Riddles, but the colors are just to blah and unimpressive. If you haven't played a Fill & Cross, Griddler, Mosaic or Pic & Cross game before (all the same they just go by different names) here's how they work. The good news is that you don't have to be good at math, just deduction. Images are encrypted with numbers located to the left of the lines and above the columns. The numbers ...Show more

I love Pirate Riddles, but the colors are just to blah and unimpressive. If you haven't played a Fill & Cross, Griddler, Mosaic or Pic & Cross game before (all the same they just go by different names) here's how they work. The good news is that you don't have to be good at math, just deduction. Images are encrypted with numbers located to the left of the lines and above the columns. The numbers show how many groups are filled in the cells. All groups must have at least one empty cell between them. An example would be the numbers 1 1 1, on a 5x5 grid the first cell would be filled, followed by an empty cell, followed by a filled cell and another empty cell and the last cell would also be filled. Naturally the grids become larger and the numbers usually smaller, which means that you have to figure out which cells would be logically empty. To fill a cell you simply left click the cell, an empty cell would be an X by right clicking, or you can use the available icons and switch back and forth. You can click and drag large numbered cells both empty and filled as well.

Some of the cells contain coins that can be used to purchase bonuses such as getting two starting hints, the right to make three mistakes (you will have to replay that grid if you make a third mistake normally) or a bonus that will refill the hints on that level only. There are 17 different achievements or trophies to earn, and the grids are played on 6 different Pirate themed Islands which have 20 levels each for a total of 120 swashbuckling games. Aaarr, there's no time to walk the plank mates, tis time to solve a griddler, enjoy! Show less

There is very little change in this game from the previous instalment. I hardly see the point of issuing it, when virtually nothing is changed. Compared to what else is available in this genre, this really leaves more to be desired.
