Place your mouse cursor on the position where you want to place a tile. Click your left mouse button to place the tile.

To remove a tile you have already placed, position the cursor on top of the tile you wish to remove, and click the left mouse button. The tile can only be removed if it is not blocked by another tile.

If you are stuck and cannot find a solution to a specific puzzle, you can click on the Hint button. The Hint button allows you to get as many hints as you want. Sometimes all you need to know is where to place your first couple of tiles, and that is often enough to help you figure out the solution. This button is not usable in Expert Mode.

Selecting a Puzzle

The mosaic puzzles are all housed in the temples of the gods. You can select any of the open temples from the Island Map. When you first play Pixelus, only the Tutorial temple is open; once you have completed (or skipped) the tutorial, a new temple will appear on the Island Map. New temples are unlocked after a certain number of mosaics have been completed. There are a total of 9 playable temples, each one more challenging than the last, in addition to the one Tutorial temple. Once you have unlocked a temple, you can play the available puzzles in any order. Each temple also has one mystery puzzle, which can only be unlocked by completing all the other puzzles in the temple.

Medals

If you complete a puzzle within 10 moves of the World Record, you will be awarded a medal for that puzzle. The World Record for any puzzle is the least number of moves required to complete it. If you match the World Record, then you will earn a Gold medal for that puzzle. If you complete it within 5 moves of the World Record, then you will earn a Silver medal. If you complete it within 10 moves of the World Record, you will earn a Bronze medal. You can always re-select a puzzle to attempt to beat your prior score. When you earn a Gold medal on a puzzle a Timed mode for that puzzle is unlocked, and you can play to beat your best time.

Expert Mode

Expert mode is for players who want to complete the game without the aid of the Undo and Hint buttons. Those two buttons are unavailable in this mode - aside from that, the game is the same. To play in Expert mode, create a New User from the Main Menu, and check the lay in Expert mode checkbox.
