Christmas Spot differences

Christmas Spot differences is a holiday-season take on the spot-the-difference format: each level gives you two Christmas pictures that look alike, and you have to work out where they do not.

The feature worth knowing about is the hint allowance. Every level comes with its own three hints, so the allowance is the same whichever level you are on. That makes them a tool to use when needed rather than something to ration across the whole game. There is also a time element, since levels have to be completed in time.

The developer describes the images as festive and the puzzles as holiday-themed, so the pairs are full of seasonal scenes. Input is minimal: a mouse click on a computer or a tap on a touch screen. The frame is tall and portrait.

Compare the two Christmas images in the level. When you find a spot where they differ, click on it with the mouse, or tap it on a touch screen. Keep going until you have found them all, and finish before your time is up. If you are stuck, use one of the three hints that every level gives you.

Each level gives you its own three hints. Try the pair with your own eyes first, then turn to the hints for whatever remains as the clock runs down, rather than running out of time with hints still unused. Three is enough to cover several stubborn differences.

A Christmas-themed spot-the-difference game with a time limit and three hints per level. It plays in a portrait frame (720 by 1280). The developer lists mouse clicks and taps as the controls.

Scroll and Spot keeps the Christmas theme with pictures that scroll in step and five differences per level, and Spot 6 Differences offers 20 levels with exactly six changes to find in each.
