Fun and trains your eye – Van Gogh Tiles Review

Various levels allow you you to start with the basics and move on to more difficulty. If you like the painting, you will enjoy playing the more difficult levels several times with the same painting. It's not like passing a level in a video game. At the third level of difficulty (tiles move and rotate), you learn a lot about the architecture of the painting, what colors and details are used in what places, the perspective of the artist, and how the artist conveyed the light. It is a more intimate relationship with the painting than just seeing it or even studying it on the screen. As soon as you complete a puzzle, there is immediately a screen of bright yellow stars, then the painting is shown without being divided into tiles. I wish that the tile grid would very slowly fade, or that the grid would stay in place until I asked it to go. The grid is how you have come to know the painting while you were solving the puzzle. You can see the painting without the grid any time if you ask for it, so you have already seen the painting without the grid, possibly many times. What you have not seen until you complete the puzzle is the completed grid. I would like to see that for longer. All of the artists whose paintings are currently available in the tile puzzles are excellent, and their work is well represented: Van Gogh, Monet, Cezanne and Renoir. I would like to see David Hockney and Old Masters represented, too. Color painting are the most fun. Black and white or grayscale drawings would be fun, too. I play it on an iPhone4, and it is very satisfying. I sorta crave an iPad just to play this game on it. But not enough to buy an iPad. At least not yet.
