Classic Jigsaw Puzzles

a very bare-bones thinger. nothing fancy. let's get this out up front... there's no rotation. it's a plain-n-simple, drag-n-drop a piece in as-is. moving on... anything you want to do has to be done within the game itself. you can't toggle the sound or whatever from outside the game. you pick new game, what group of puzzles you want to work with and go from there. it has a basic set up of: turning the music &/or sound off. changing the background. toggling the pieces shown along the side to be either edge pieces or interior pieces. there's also an option to have the picture muted in the background so you can see what goes where or just a small glimpse or just nothing at all. each group has several subsections you can choose from once you pick the main group. even if you just bought just the main body of the game, it has a varied "sampler" of sorts to it. so you're Still getting a large catalog of scenes/images to choose from even if you never bought any dlc. the main one has around ten groups to select from. within each of those groups there are several actual images to pick from. [i]when/if you purchase any of the dlc packets, you may discover a "dupe". that's because the main puzzle game has one or two puzzles from each of the dlc in it. (hence why i referred to it as being a "sampler".)[/i] all in all, it's not the most intellectual game. if you want to be challenged in more than poking at something when the scrolling won't stop on the side because you spun it too fast, this likely isn't the game for you. but if you want something relatively mindless with pretty/cute scenes to work on during a headache, i definitely recommend this... [i]welll, once you turn the sound/music off, anyway. they aren't horrendous. but if you have your main computer volume up at all, it will blast you. and you can't adjust it from inside the game... all you get is on or off.[/i] hope this review helps you decide and isn't Too hard to follow or repetitive. have a good one! ~kstormgemini

Does not work

relaxing, enjoyable past time. Only complaint is I wish I could scroll the pieces easier as a lot times game just makes me pick up pieces when I'm trying to scroll

The puzzles are great except sometimes they don't fit together on the edges pieces until you drag them off the board. Otherwise it very calming.

LOS PAISAJES SON REALMENTE HERMOSOS. SE NOTA QUE SON FOTOGRAFIAS REALIZADAS POR UN PROFESIONAL. TIENE DIFERENTES NIVELES DE DIFICULTAD, LO QUE LO HACE (CREO YO) APTO PARA CUALQUIER EDAD.

This game is super basic and the interface isn't very good either. There are free puzzle games out there much better than this one.

Easy puzzles. They can be completed in 30 minuets to an hour with 280 peaces. It's good for wasting time while waiting on something to download. It needs more puzzles though.

日本語はサポートされていませんが、言語関係なしに楽しめるジグゾーパズルゲームです。 表示されているボタンも少なく、試しに押してみてすぐにどういった意味のボタンなのか分かりました。 ピースの角や辺のみの表示、音楽のON/OFFや大小、バックグランド時の音楽のオフ、ピースの数の選択(12ピース～280ピース)など欲しい機能は全部ありました。 枠内にピースを掴んで置いていきますが、枠外へまた戻したり、枠内の任意の場所に一時置きすることもできます。 無心に楽しめるのが良いです。DLCで色んな図柄をやってみたいと思いました！ 140ピースだと30分くらいでクリアできるので私には丁度良い難易度で気に入っています。

PROS * Huge selection of puzzles - base game has 8 collections with 10 different puzzles each, with 5 difficulty levels. * Pictures are vibrant and aesthetically pleasing * Great replayability value * Great value for money - base game is inexpensive, as are DLCs, AND they do go on sale as well. CONS * Interface is not intuitive - no tool tips to tell you what things are * Controls can be randomly finicky where sometimes even repeated clicking a puzzle piece won't pick it up BUT, when attempting to scroll the sidebar of pieces up or down every mouse click will pick up a piece (le sigh). * There does not appear to be a slider for to control volume of music and sounds, it's either On/Muted. Nifty little game, great value for money. As someone a jigsaw puzzlephile, this is a great alternative when physical jigsaw puzzles are no longer viable.

Not a bad Jigsaw Puzzle Game. The photos are what really makes this a pleasure to play. It leaves many other puzzle games for dead with it hi def photos. It's only let down is a rather clunky way of selecting tiles, it's a little hit and miss. When clicking on a tile it doesn't always work. This tends to become somewhat frustrating. After much messing around trying to find a way of making sure it selects I discovered by placing the cursor on the tile, letting it rest for a little and then making a small movement to the right it worked, but again, not every time but better than simply clicking on it. It also falls down on rotating the tiles, again, hit and miss. Trying to find that magic spot works, sometimes not. It's simply move the cursor and try again. Taking your time will increase your success rate. One last hiccup was discovered when I'd made a string of edge tiles and tried to position them, the darned string insisted on sliding to the left. To combat this I moved the string a couple of Centimetres to the right and let go. It still slid to the left, but connected, Weird but once you know the trick it seems to work every time. So a few things to watch out for, but once your know what to expect it becomes second nature. I'll be honest, I was ready to delete the whole game but after playing 6 or 7 puzzles I started to enjoy the game. Darn, I forgot one other minor error, if you purchase the whole library you'll find a few of the generous collections are duplicated and some photos aren't what's depicted on the preview. The game appears as if it's still in Beta phase although I think the owner may have given up on it If it's been out fora while I'm surprised he or she hasn't bothered to fix the problems. If you're wondering why I still like the game, Number 1 would have to be the excellent photos, Number 2 would be the price. I've paid $10.95 for one game's DLC, this one is only .59 cents per DLC. Definitely a bargain once you get past those problems mentioned earlier. Grab this game for free, it gives plenty of puzzles. If you like it, pick up those DLC 's. In the meantime I'll keep my fingers crossed for more collections.
