I was pleasantly impressed by this game. First of all, the graphics and interface are clean and user friendly and the designs are pleasant to look at without being distracting. The gameplay involves using clues in grey triangles to determine whether unknown triangles are grey or green, and maps are gradually filled out to completion. The early puzzles are simple and intuitive, with difficulty rising over time. Later levels are much more challenging; I completed most of them in more than one sitting, since taking a break seemed to help when I got stuck. Fortunately, the game automatically saves progress, although players can choose to reset a level if they wish. Puzzle progress is not automatically reset on mistakes, unless the player specifically chooses that option in challenge mode, so mistakes are not overly punished. For this reason I would recommend this game for casual players and non-gamers as well. Basically, it's up to the player to decide how challenging they want their experience to be. I'm a bit of a completionist in my gaming style, and I find this game caters well to my playstyle and also has some replay value. To earn maximum gems in regular mode each puzzle needs to be completed without mistakes or miss-clicks, and in challenge mode gems are earned by completing puzzles with additional restrictions. Thus, I have been motivated to go back to earlier levels to complete them perfectly and with challange mode restrictions in place. What's interesting is that I completed the puzzles faster and more efficiently the second and third time around, suggesting that my brain has been training for the specific patterns this game presents. Overall, I've enjoyed playing this game and I hope the developers continue to update it and add additional challenges.
