Touch Arcade: Every logic puzzle lover should know about nonograms. You might know them as picross puzzles, or griddlers, or maybe just the younger sibling of Sudoku, but you should know them. If you don't, no foul: Fugazo's World Mosaics [$1.99] is a good place to start.
Casual Review writes: "It's another chance to travel the world through a puzzle game. In World Mosaics, you'll be assisting Dr Remington in his quest to reveal the mystery of the elusive Pelasgians. This is done by solving mosaics, which is a matter of dusting the tiles of the piece being examined to uncover an image held within. It's an innovative new puzzle game that structurally takes after minesweeper and sudoku - you have to carefully reveal pieces of the puzzle without touching the fragile empty tiles, based on the information you're provided from the numbers at the sides of each row and column. It employs a strategy that involves revealing tiles you have the most knowledge of before expanding to further pieces until you've eventually uncovered the entire board. World Mosaics is purely logical, and can be solved without any random guessing. The puzzles are challenging enough without being too heavy on the brain."
