Islanders and wildlife need your help to repair the damage caused by violent storms.
When recently reviewing the Mixo Games' title of Twistinfo Turtle Bay, I noticed a reference to the company's earlier offering of Twistinfo - Bird Paradise.  Following up this lead I was able to download and check out this puzzle solving offering which arrives in Collector's Edition format.  This product bundled various bonus items to supplement the main game action and forms the focus of this review.
Judging by the number of cat images available on the Internet, you might suppose that this popular pet is in total control.
The Ailurophiles (that's cat lovers for those who have not swallowed a dictionary) at 8 Floor Games have produced their version 4 of the company's Cute Cats series of jigsaws.  As usual this title presents its collection of 500 images spread over five books, each holding 100 images displayed on 26 pages.
Now the tourist season is over, can you spare the time to help the fairies tidy up their home from rubbish left behind.
Developed by Seven Sails, this next game, entitled Enchantment - Secret Hideaway Collector's Edition, sets you the task of tidying up the location known as Thicket Wood from the after-effects caused by the tourist season.  As Thicket Wood is home to fairies, and they much prefer a spick and span environment to the current clutter state, your work will involve a number of tasks as you return the woods to a fairly friendly state.
When the land erupts, you need to come to the rescue of an island's animals and human residents.
Like the mythical island of Saint Marie, home to the BBC Television's "Death in Paradise" series, which has far more than its fair share of murders, the Mixo Games created location of Turtle Bay is similarly affected.  However, in this case, the affliction concerns natural disasters rather than the murder of individual residents of the island.  You can visit this location and discover more about it with a visit to Twistinfo - Turtle Bay Collector's Edition game.
Gems earned playing Solitaire can be used to enhance buildings.

Crime does not pay especially when you try to make amends and get sent threatening letters for your trouble.

The Crossroad of World is a situation that brings together the components of the Universe so they can interact with each other.  Unfortunately this arrangement can sometimes cause problems.
Offering to keep your fingers warm through the cold of Winter is a collection of appropriate jigsaws.
Usually when a Jigsaw puzzle type game arrives for review, it is the work of 8 Floor Games but, in this case, Denda Games is the company responsible for Puzzle Pieces 4.  Subtitled Farewell Dear Winter, the product takes you on a  pictorial journey that is meant to inspire you as the season moves on from the icy cold of Winter to the more friendly embrace of Spring and the rebirth it offers.
Like history, popular bygone past-times can re-appear for a second outing of gaming activity.
Several years ago, maybe as much as a decade or so, a popular past-time product was a Painting by Numbers kit.  Using the supplied paints, you could colour in a template for a particular scene which consisted of numbered areas by applying the appropriate numbered colours in the outline sketch.  This concept of art-made-easy was an ideal candidate to make the transition from a physical kit to a digital environment.
When the police can not solve an outbreak of criminal activity, you are expected to come to their aid.
Unsolved Case- The Scarlet Hyacinth is a Hidden Object Adventure game from the Domini Games' catalogue of titles.  This review is based on the Collector's Edition version of the product which casts you in the role of a private detective called in by the police to help solve what turns out to be a wave of crimes which threatened to plunge the city into chaos unless you can help.
Adding colour to a sketch can increase the drawing's visual aspect.
Although arriving classified as a relaxing puzzle game, Paint by Pixel seems better suited to the role of a colouring tool with abstract capabilities.  Developed by Tiny Little Lion, this offering provides you with a range of sketch-like drawings.  These pictures can be coloured in using a set palette whose content can be adjusted to suit your artistic tastes and preferences. As the product's title indicates, this offering provides the means to add colour to various pre-drawn sketches.
