New Griddlers Deluxe 2006: PC-based Griddling Experience at Its Best!
For immediate release
May 22, 2006
From the inventive mind of puzzle designers at PuzzleHome.com
comes the freshest version of Griddlers Deluxe 2006. This is
a digitally recreated version of griddlers, popular
"paper-and-pencil" puzzles from Japan that spawned an immense
interest among puzzle lovers across the world. Today,
griddlers, also known as Japanese puzzles or nonograms, have
become an international craze. They regularly appear on
handheld electronic toys and papers of magazines. In Japan
alone there are over 10 regular magazines for griddlers and
many books. The Sunday Telegraph has been publishing them
continuously for 14 years for the joy of their readers. Now,
Griddlers Deluxe 2006 brings the authentic griddlers
experience direct to your PC.
The idea behind griddlers is a bit tricky, but once you get
used to it the game will be fun. The player is given a
griddler, which is a grid made up of solid blank squares. At
the ends of rows and columns there are numbers that serve as
clues. The numbers are the number of consecutive black
squares. Thus a clue 1.3.4 would mean that there is one solid
followed by a block of 3 solids followed by a block of 4
solids. The challenge of the game is to work out how many
blank spaces there are in between. When you have completed
all the rows and columns you will have revealed a hidden
picture. Of course, solving griddlers doesn't come easy. It's
a challenging logical exercise for you your brains but plenty
of fun too. Griddlers Deluxe 2006 comes with a free online
collection of griddlers so puzzle-solving doesn't grow stale
in a short time. Currently, there are 1000 griddlers and
their collection is being regularly updated. You can download
new griddlers from http://puzzlehome.com.
The replayability of Griddlers Deluxe 2006 is also enhanced
with two types of griddlers, black-and-white and colored
ones. Black-and-white griddlers are very simple and good to
solve for beginners. When you have learned how to play the
game, you can continue with colored griddlers, which are more
fun to solve simply because they are colored. For real
professionals, Griddlers Deluxe 2006 offers a built-in editor
for creating griddlers on their own. You will have an ability
to draw griddlers, as well as create them from photos, icons
and other images. A griddler can be printed on paper and
solved in the classic way with a pencil and an eraser. The
game will provide hours of enjoyable play time for you and
your family! Happy Griddling!
What Griddlers Deluxe Players Say
"Thank you so much for Griddlers Deluxe 2006! Compared to
several other variants including your previous releases I
have tried, this new game turned out to be the best," says
one of the customers from U.K. "Registration is simple. The
fee is absolutely affordable. I am still half way in learning
the game, several nuances are not clear to me. But I like the
Solution Error mode that shows my errors while I am attacking
the puzzle, plus an ability to cancel a wrong move. When at a
loss, I can take advantage of help tips and secrets on
successful playing. It's fine! No doubts I will continue
playing your wonderful brainchild! Keep up good work!"
