World Mosaics
Unravel the mysteries of a society that disappeared over a thousand years ago by solving the pictographic puzzles they left behind! Solve your way through 99 puzzles in seven exotic locations around the world in story mode, or tackle over 100 additional puzzles in extra puzzle mode! Each puzzle forms a unique mosiac that is only revealed once the puzzle is solved! Your quest begins in the shadow of the majestic Parthenon, but it just may take you around the world before you are through!
"World Mosaics" starts off simply enough -- perhaps too simple, as I found myself wanting to disable the tutorial hints rather quickly -- but soon becomes a fun test of reasoning skills. The music is rather repetitive, sounds are fairly basic, yet neither is particularly bad. Just not outstanding. Gameplay seems straightforward; on a grid, players must uncover a hidden image/pattern by finding the "hidden" tiles and either digging out or avoiding the blank spaces, given the number of consecutive tiles in each row/column. What starts off as a process of elimination becomes a struggle to keep track of all the numbers. In all, World Mosaics is most certainly worth playing, though you may find yourself getting confused, though not necessarily frustrated.

Hours of griddlers
I love this kind of game, and this one has many strong points. At first glance it might resemble a match 3, but you actually have to use reason to figure out which squares have tiles under them and which are nothing. Pick the wrong tile, and you get a strike on your "mistakes" and too many of those and your game is over!
It is very similar to gemsweeper. I personally prefer gemsweeper because the puzzles are more colorful on gemsweeper, but I really like how world mosaics highlights the numbers on the row you are working in (when it gets up to 20X20 it can get confusing).
The sounds is ok, the background leave a bit to be desired, but the premise is defintely a winner! Definitely worth a trial!

Not bad but to short
I really liove this type of game then i had a good time with it.
But ... There's a lot of "but"
The game is finished very fast, he's too easy no grid of more than 20x20, it's not very beautiful, etc ...
Anyway, try the demo before buying.
Sorry for the bad english, it's not my native language.
