Jigsaw Pieces - Romance

‎

☀️

Competition is always good, so I'm very glad to see probably the first publisher having a chance to directly compete with Pixel Puzzle Ultimate. The engine is developed quite well, offering even more important options, than PPU (choosing # of pieces being its main advantage). Unfortunately, it also has a few presumably "young age" issues, which should be quite easy to fix, but currently make the game much less enjoyable for me, than PPU and make me refrain from playing it any more, so I must cast a "Not Recommended" vote here. However, I sincerely hope, that the devs will continue to improve their engine and that they will publish more games using it. There is a dead zone close to the top border of the playing area. Usually you can grab pieces there targeting their very bottom, but it's also possible to move a piece so close to the top, that it's totally impossible to move it with mouse, unless you are able to attach the fitting piece to its bottom. I guess, with time one can get used to this, but it annoys me enough, that after solving 2 puzzles I'm going back to PPU. A few other questionable choices include: - unmovable jigsaw assembly area, with initial pieces spawning partially on it's edges; - limited zoom out and screen dragging movement, among others making it impossible to directly move to tray pieces at the bottom of the screen; - at least for me the enjoyment of solving a jigsaw puzzle depends a lot on a picture being its base, and out of ~50 puzzles included I find only like 10, that would really interest me, when it's like 80-90% for PPU; - a very weird scoring mechanism, multiplying your score, if you assemble more than 1 piece before placing those pieces at their final destination (assembling the whole puzzle outside destination box and then moving it there probably can giving you more than 100 times the score, that would receive, if individual pieces were placed); - quite a few other (mostly minor) issues mentioned in [url=https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198039150619/recommended/1529410/]pikarie's review[/url].
