New York, NY – 1/26/2011– Glow Artisan Free, the free version of the the award winning puzzle game, Glow Artisan, is now available for iOS devices.

It also lets players create a puzzle with the Picture-Puzzle creation tools, or the built-in puzzle editor.  Those looking for more gameplay can unlock all the features of the full version through one in-app purchase, currently at the low introductory price of $0.99.
