Puzzle Mania: Unicorn Chronicles presents a series of jigsaw puzzles with a nice storyline and many levels to play. Your mission will be to find the last surviving unicorn, which has escaped to the woods, by making your way through about 70 levels. You need to complete the puzzles, and collect the eight totems that will bring the unicorn back.
Puzzles are quite easy to solve, however the point is to complete them as fast as you can, as each level has a target time you will be challenged to beat. Although the pieces’ shape, and background images are different from level to level, the gameplay is the same along the game, and after a while you may lost the interest. In between stages, you will find mini-games, most of them sliding puzzles, that won’t actually add much variety to the game mechanics. Besides, puzzles have a fixed set of pieces, and on average, it won't take you more than one minute to solve them, at least the ones from the first levels. So, it’s a game that features a very relaxing gameplay, with very little difficulty at the first stages.
Graphics are absolutely beautiful, very detailed and delicate, with light beams, sparks, and the type of animation effects that make scenes lively and realistic. Music is very relaxing as well, and the sound effects suit perfectly.
The free trial offers a fully featured version that you can play during 60 minutes.
