Fantasy Mosaics 17: New Palette

Puzzles are a great way to keep yourself distracted and work your brain at the same time, because not all video games are very good when it comes to making you smarter. Granted, shooters are excellent if you want to improve your reaction time and your reflexes, but they also require your full attention at all times, which can be tiring.

Fantasy Mosaics 17: New Palette is a puzzle game that’s part of the popular series featuring penguins in the main roles, as well as all sorts of cute mosaic puzzles that can be solved using nothing but your mouse. Although they are not very complex, the puzzles in question are challenging enough to keep your brain working at all times, which is great if you need a quick distraction from your routine.

There’s even a silly story that unfolds over the course of the game, one that involves aliens and newly discovered colors. As such, the penguin must explore this new palette of colors and decide how to decorate an entire landscape with them. On the other hand, you do not get to participate in this decoration effort all that much, since your main task is to complete the mosaics.

The gameplay mechanics are pretty much the same as in all the other games released in the series, which means that you have to click on empty cells in order to fill them. It’s also important to pay attention to the numbers displayed near each row and column, because they tell you how many of the cell need to be filled with that particular color.

Most of the time you just focus on the mosaics, but every once in awhile you might notice the backgrounds and the landscapes created for the game. As such, the graphics are not bad at all, but then again there are no 3D models either, and the artwork is usually covered by the mosaic itself. The music is nothing out of the ordinary either, but you can always replace it with your own in the background.

In the end, Fantasy Mosaics 17: New Palette is just as fun as the rest of the games in the series, at least if you are a fan of the genre. On the other hand, it can get pretty repetitive after a while, especially since the mechanics remain the same from start to finish. NOTE: This is a downloader for the game.
