As the name implies it is a jigsaw game with animated images. There is 5 different jigsaws to do in 5 different difficulty levels. The smaller ones are nice but the bigger ones can get annoying when you have half of the image being just a blue sky. Also has an option to only show edge pieces which in my opinion every jigsaw game should have. Works without any issues on Linux with Proton (6.3-4).
I do not recommend this game because you cannot zoom in on the puzzle and pieces, which is the first jigsaw puzzle I have played that does not have this feature. I am on the 4th puzzle with the most (little) pieces and it is such a drag to finish because I can't tell the really close shades of blue apart or even if there is white on some the pieces. It's not like I can take out my magnifying glass and look. This jigsaw puzzle is simply not a fun way to pass some time.

The puzzles have nice images with moving parts that make it more fun. The music is nice too. My only gripe is that when pieces are piled on each other and you click on the top piece because you want what you can see, it take pieces from the bottom first and you have to move several pieces before you actually get the one you wanted. I also don't think I'll play past fun mode because the pieces are too small to see well. I would need a much larger screen to do them. I got it in a bundle, so was less than 99 cents so is good for the price.

It's a fun and mellow game to relax to. Each puzzle is animated in a 8-bit style. There are a few down-sides however that aren't very important to keep in mind unless you're trying to get 100% of achievements on games and/or playing on a laptop's touch-pad. I use a laptop for puzzle games for the most part, and it's a little aggravating to play this game for me since I'd occasionally accidentally left click, and that would bring up what the puzzle looks like, but it isn't too bad now. The last down-side that isn't a huge issue is that the "PRO" option of the puzzle. There's so many pieces that are super tiny. I'm usually a busy guy, so it takes me a few days or so to complete that one puzzle. Either way, I'd HIGHLY suggest this game to those that like jigsaw puzzles.
WARNING - To prevent being locked out if you connect pieces together and this block is not snapped to the board, the block can get hidden under other blocks. When you clear of the board the block will not be moved and you can lock your puzzle and you will not be able to complete it. Wrote up a guide on how to fix this problem. Fun and chill jigsaw puzzle. Mechanics: you can attach pieces on the board; you can attach pieces to each other; you cannot rotate pieces. Also, non-attached pieces will stay on the board between sessions. Each puzzle has 5 different levels from trivial to difficult.. However, there is a serious bug where loose puzzle pieces can get stuck under the puzzle - and the "shuffle" function does not free the piece. Playing on a potato laptop PC/windows 10.
5 Bilder, 5 Schwierigkeitsgrade bzw. Größen der Puzzles, Pixelgrafik, als Thema Japan. Spiel läuft ohne Abstürze, Menü ist übersichtlich. Wer kurz vor dem Sterben ist, weil das Wetter mal wieder unerträglich ist, greift zu diesem Puzzle und lenkt sich damit ab. Klappt ausgezeichnet.
Beautiful, relaxing, and tons of replay.
[u]Recommendation[/u]: A fun jigsaw puzzle game in which the pictures are animated. [u]Critique[/u]: One of the best jigsaw puzzle games I've played, [u]Daylife in Japan[/u] has a number of little features that make the experience so much better. First of all, you can select whether to see all the pieces, or highlight just the edge pieces: very helpful if you, like most people, start by completing the border of the puzzle. There are a bunch of different difficulty settings - basically how many pieces there are in each puzzle - so that you can get a lot of gameplay out of the six or so puzzle images in the game. Five or six levels of difficulty mean that there are effectively more than 30 levels in the game, and the highest difficulty is pretty challenging. The fact that each image is lightly animated, with flashing lights, blowing wind, bopping characters and various other subtle details of movement, means that the levels, for me, had three stages: first, complete the border; second, complete all the animated parts of the puzzle; third, fill in all the remaining blanks. It's very satisfying having that extra goal/stage within each puzzle.
It's pretty nice for a jigsaw puzzle game. Not a whole lot to say except if you like jigsaw puzzles you will like it. Although it's only got 5 levels with 6 difficulties. And for most difficulties i could complete at least 1 image in 1 sitting except for the hardest difficulty.
