[h1]In-Depth Review[/h1]
[h3]Visuals[/h3]
[i]DayDream Mosaics Juliette's Collection[/i]'s visuals look like the other [i]DayDream Mosaics[/i] game at a glance. It has a beautiful-looking menu with realistic-looking images. The resulting Nonogram images look like mosaics, meaning that they look square-shaped with colors that look too bold for the actual object and might look distorted due to their square shape. The only difference from the other [i]DayDream Mosaics[/i] games is the background images when you are playing Nonogram; [i]DayDream Mosaics Juliette's Collection[/i] uses images with different patterns in every level instead of images with scenery.
[h3]The Game[/h3]
As I said before, [i]DayDream Mosaics Juliette's Collection[/i] is a layered Nonogram game. Each level has 6 colors, and you can switch to any color that you want. Each color has the same rule as a black-and-white Nonogram game, where you need to paint a single color based on the given clue. Since not all rows and columns will have that particular color, some colors might become a smaller Nonogram, with the rest of the rows and columns being blocked out. This way, you can leave the harder colors for the last and focus on the easier ones first.
The game has 112 levels in total. It was separated into 4 chapters, each having 28 levels in total. However, you are free to play in any order that you want. Each level has various sizes, but they are never bigger than 25x15.

As for features, the game only has the basic ones: it will mark the clues in a different color if you finish that row or column, and an option to count rows if you choose it in the Controls button. There is no undo button, and although the game will tell you when you have finished a color, it will do nothing if you color some tiles wrong and have finished that particular color. The game has unique solutions in each level, but there are cases where you need to decide between two options if you haven't finished coloring with the other colors first.
[b]Length and Difficulty[/b]
The game also has 4 difficulty modes. The first four will have a mistake counter, hint, and powerups, although the last one eliminates all that. Since I didn't like playing Nonograms with all those additional features, I played it in the Freestyle mode, the last mode that has no mistake counter and other features. I finished all levels in 13.1h—each level took around 4 minutes to finish.
[h1]Conclusion[/h1]
[i]DayDream Mosaics Juliette's Collection[/i] is a nice Nonogram game to get familiar with how other [i]DayDream Mosaics[/i] games work. If you have played those games before, it will be an extra free game with some levels for you. If you don't, you can get a taste of how these games work and decide whether to buy their other paid games or not. I think this is a great deal for everyone, especially if you enjoy playing Nonogram games. There are just a lot of levels to play that will take a while to finish.
