Gizmos: Spooky Adventures

starts easy, finishes fiendish

Comme pour les autres jeux Gizmos, tout est très bien : joli, marrant, belles images, difficulté correcte, challenges réalisables et pas trop faciles, aucune grille à solution multiple ni au hasard, beaucoup de grilles : 6 niveaux de 20 grilles. Seul bémol : il n'y a rien permettant d'annuler l'action en cours. La traduction française du texte de la petite histoire est très mauvaise.

Some points about this game, from most positive to most negative (#1 rates the recommend on its own, while #10 almost ruins that recommendation.) +++1. A LOT of picross/nonogram/griddlers in one package. If you're into them, this supplies many hours' worth of enjoyment. ++2. The price for the package is very reasonable. +3. Most of the nonograms (with one exception, to my experience) can be solved logically, without guesswork. +4. There's even a simple puzzle game from time to time. Skippable and not achievement based if you're not into it. 5. While it does give a lot of hours, mine might be inflated, as I have a bad habit of wandering away from the computer. 6. With a few exceptions, most of the nonograms only vaguely look like the image they're trying to replicate. Most nonograms have that issue, though. -7. Not that I'm very good at these, but the time achievements seem like something that while not impossible, would be accomplished by someone who is so reflexive to the game that I wouldn't see how they would enjoy it. -8. "Gizmos: Spooky Adventures" has such terrifying subjects as Pinocchio and Hansel & Gretel. Maybe the title was slapped on? --9. "ALL HAIL THE GIZMOS", and all that. ---10. (And all the others are quibbles compared to this): The cursor (whether in standard or system mode) tends to slide and not pick up the square you're intending. I don't know how many times I've clicked on a square to drag a line I've figured out only to have it start late and create an error. I make enough mistakes on my own without the game's help! Despite #10, I still have to say I got more than my money's worth on this one. But if the developer could fine tune the pointer, that would help a LOT. Thanks!
