Publisher: No Gravity Games
What I Paid: $1.50
Verdict: Not Shovelware. 100%ed it. Game Breaking Bug.
What I Say:
I like nonogram games. For anyone that doesn’t know, they are puzzles involving a square playing area where you have to deduce the picture from numeric clues as to which spaces are full and which spaces are empty.
Nonogram Prophecy expands on the base nonogram premise by incorporating colour puzzles (which have slightly different rules to the monochrome puzzles) and Big Picture puzzles which see you solving 9 related nonograms to create an overall image.
Nominally themed to the Gods of Olympus, the puzzles themselves are mostly run-of-the-mill and are not themed in any way. Unfortunately, the game appears to have been rushed out, as 2 Big Picture puzzles are not unlockable, instead showing as “In Progress” even after every other single puzzle has been solved. Testing was also clearly rushed, as the number counters are buggy and numerous colour puzzles have multiple identical colours which are in fact different colours. Combined with the required guesswork, few will have the perseverance to complete nearly impossible puzzles like Skeleton. Through sheer bloody-mindedness and lots of trial-and-error, I managed to complete every puzzle.
tl;dr: There are better nonogram games out there.
ps I still have no idea what the title screen announcer is saying even after hundreds of listens. I think they are saying “The Gods of Olympus challenge you….[unintelligible].
