Daylife in Japan - Pixel Art Jigsaw Puzzle

[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.

A fun puzzle game that starts off easy but goes on to tiny pieces in "Pro" mode. These are simplified pallette, pixelated drawings, so the more difficult levels have large numbers of pieces of the same colour - that's where the difficulty comes. A couple of helpful things; it being a digital puzzle, parts of the images are animated, which helps you place things, and all the pieces are automatically oriented. The only negative I found was that if you accidently click the right mouse button when placing a piece the game "assumes" you cheated, and looked at the full picture, and it greys out that piece. You don't get marked down or anything, it just looks messy. You can also "lose" a piece under the puzzle if you drop it, and then you click the arrows icon at the top to flush it out. BUT don't click that icon until you're nearly finished or it will reshuffle all the pieces that you had carefully sorted - and then you have to do it all again.

Very cool game, charming and relaxing. Helps me to stay focus!

One of the best jigsaw games I've played in A WHILE. this actually made me feel comfortable at those lonely nights when you only want to chill while watching a series or movie

puzzle pieces is same shape. so bad.

Beautiful, charming, relaxing ^_^

the BEST jigsaw puzzle game on steam, though i would kill for a zoom function

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.
