It's Not Just About the Nonograms
While figuring out the griddlers is fun, what I enjoy most are the decorations you get after every 5 puzzles. And this newest release has taken it to the next level in my opinion. The scenes, inside and outside the little house get more enchanting with each game. Many have a mini-game attached that you can play over and over.
It might not be your thing, but many of us still love Fantasy Mosaics just the way they are.

FANTASY MOSAICS 44: WINTER HOLIDAY IS AN UNPRECIDENTED 44TH OFFERING OF A GAME SERIES!
This game is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I love the pond picture with the snow all around it. There is Christmas music playing as you work away at filling in the empty spaces and the atmosphere is wonderful! This one has some really beautiful, easy to recognize pictures and playing the demo made me feel very light-hearted, peaceful and content. Thank you, I needed that! This isn't just another Fantasy Mosaics game!! This one will lift you up!

Best one yet!
The new mini puzzles are the greatest. They are so different from most mini games where you have to find the differences or play a card game to move on. These are new and super fun.

BEST ONE YET
I usually play the Fantasy Mosaics twice after I buy it, and then go on to the next one. This one is different. It maintains the storyline better than any have in the past; this time it is winter & holiday celebrations. The music fits perfectly. The pictures still make me smile, even after playing four times. Great Job!

44 GAMES AND IT STILL DOESN'T SAVE YOUR PROGRESS MID-GAME?
The colors are pretty and of course, the puzzles are Christmas-themed with a nice selection of Holiday music. The puzzles during the demo portion seem to be geared more towards the Zen scale than the Brain-alert scale, which is perfectly fine, I believe there's a need for both types depending on what type of day you are having. Once again, I guess I should say for the 44th time in six years, the Penguin family has a dilemma on their hands, er, flippers? Mrs. Pemrose is coming to town and the Penguins need to tidy up their Winter Cottage before her arrival...sounds so Christmassy???
I know I'm beginning to sound like a broken record here, but there's not a lot of change going on within this record-breaking series number (how many games have 44 games in the same series?) For a while, they were surprising us with an occasional new feature but now we are getting a Fantasy Mosaic game every 2 months but they are all the same now. Even I was beginning to wonder if it was possible to offer new features in a Mosaic game, but Daydream Mosaic and Detective Agency Mosaics proves that it can be done! Heck, at this point, I could simply go back to the beginning of the series and replay the games I've already purchased and it would be like playing a brand new series
The only new features that have been added over the past 42 games, besides upgrading the color graphics, is a multi-color feature (added in game # 4) a Sun power-up (added on game #6) the addition of earning/deducting stars for using hints (on game # 15) two additional color bubbles offering 6 colors vs 4 (on game # 16) an Eye feature to view the background w/out the grid (on game # 18) an interactive garden feature (on game # 21) locked colors (on game # 27) different tile choices (on game # 28) an interactive workshop w/ mini-games (on game # 33) and Zen mode (on game # 34) 10 games later and not a single new feature OR story has been added, they still haven't figured out how to save your progress once you start a game, if you decide to exit before you complete the puzzle, you'll have to start all over, even new developers or developers new to this genre offer this feature so it can't be that diffucult to program?
The Zen Mode has returned for those who prefer to solve the griddlers without all the hand/flipper holding. In Zen Mode, the numbers aren't crossed off but Mistakes aren't counted against you either, because chances are, you'll have to edit some of the cells as you switch between colors. You can delete filled-in or crossed-off cells by right-clicking the cell in Zen Mode, and you'll know you have completed a particular color correctly because a checkmark will appear on the color bubble.
You can play in a Casual Mode which crosses off the cells one by one, or the Advanced Mode, which only crosses off the remaining cells once the entire row and column have been filled in. You will earn a Gold trophy if you make no mistakes, a Silver trophy if you make one mistake, and a Bronze trophy if you make two mistakes. You will also earn up to three gold Stars if you don't use any hints, one star is deducted each time you use a hint. Therefore, it is possible to make a mistake or two but still earn 3 stars as long as you don't use any available hints.
There are 20 locations, and each location has 5 Griddlers and an additional mini-game. You can choose from 7 different tile sets, ranging in color vibrancy, and styles. Locked Colors can be disabled in the Settings menu, otherwise, some of the colors are locked and unavailable until you uncover color-specific keys that are hidden beneath some of the filled-in cells The Eye feature allows you to hide the grid to get a look at the puzzle without all the grid lines, and there is a reset icon that makes it much easier to restart the level if you make a mistake.
There are groups of numbers located on each column and row of the grid, each group of numbers must be separated by at least one blank or crossed off cell. Sometimes it's easier to cross-off cells that can't possibly contain a filled-in cell, which will reduce the number of cells and narrow the playing field down a bit, when you get stuck, you can switch colors and work back and forth until it's solved.
Some of the cells contain bonuses such as extra hints, extra mistakes allowed, or an extra pickax which allows you to choose which cell you want a hint on, and some cells contain keys to unlock colors (unless you disable this feature in settings) There is a Sun icon as well that when fully charged, will give you a mega-hint, filling in or crossing off a 3x3 area of your choice. FYI: I have opened my own forum! All game series lists can be found at thewoodsforum.boards.net

here's hoping that Match Gems changes its tune in 2021
There are lots of reasons why 2020 cannot end soon enough. Some are major, some are minor. One of the minor is the constant barrage of Match Gems mosaic games featuring the penguin family. # 44 offers nothing that players have not seen for a long time. I'm at the point where I do the hour trial and never consider a purchase. Now if only this developer made a drastic alteration...............one can only hope.
