Fantasy Mosaics 26: Fairytale Garden

Replay value is not something every game has to offer, but it’s certainly a fairly demanded feature nowadays, especially since developers have great tools at their disposal to work on their projects. Certain genres are entirely based on this idea, while others are just interactive stories meant to be experienced only once, although they must obviously excel in other ways.

Fantasy Mosaics 26: Fairytale Garden is yet another episode in the long-running Fantasy Mosaics series, and although it doesn’t change anything in terms of puzzle mechanics, it does come with a whole new collection of mosaics for you to tackle. Some of them are tougher than others, but all of them require a bit of work in order to be completed without too many mistakes.

This time around, the penguin family goes on a stroll through the woods and stumbles upon a magic book that somehow teleports them to a different realm, one that resembles a fairytale. The story is inconsequential to the gameplay, however, since you only see short glimpses of the penguins between every other level as they make their way around the magic garden.

The concept is simple: use the numbers on the side in order to fill the mosaics with the right colors. You can switch between colors at any given time, and it’s actually recommended to do so, since sometimes you can acquire valuable clues by completing a simple pattern first. It’s possible to choose from two difficulty modes, depending on whether you want more help as you complete the puzzles or not.

As for the artwork itself, don’t expect too much, but the mosaics you create can be pretty intricate in the later stages of the game. There are a few instances where you need luck instead of skill, but they are pretty rare and isolated. There’s a hint system in place if you happen to become stuck and are unable to think of a good move.

Fantasy Mosaics 26: Fairytale Garden is not in any way a deviation from the formula used by all the previous episodes in the series, but the new collection of puzzles is definitely worth a shot. Hence, if you enjoyed the previous games, you should have a good time with this one as well. NOTE: This is a downloader for the game.
