The Adventures of Wolf and Hood - A Jigsaw Tale

(reviewed: 2020-12-19) [b]Positives+++[/b] +I like the animation when the puzzle is completed. ♥ +The shader used to create the glossy 3D effect on the pieces is soooo pretty! This is one of the main features that drew me to this game =). +The small animation on a part of the puzzle pieces is cool and small enough not to be too distracting. +The sounds effects of the puzzle piece are well made and awesome!!! +I like that there is a color code to let you know which image is done in which difficulty. +I like that the number of pieces placed are display in the information (i). +I like that the achievements have different background color for the differents categories of objectives (complete puzzle x, place x number of pieces, complete a puzzle at x difficulty). +Responsive UI button with color and animation when mouse hover :)♥ +Double snapping when 2 pieces are near one another. +There is a validation that disable pieces to go under the four corners of the board so that they don't go under the buttons. +I like that the pieces are randomly distributed around the working area instead of on top of one another. [b]Observations and suggestions~~~[/b] ~Maybe when picking and dropping a piece it would be better to change the z of it so that it stays on top of all the other pieces. For the moment, the pieces seems to have a fix z value and when dropping a piece, it sometimes can go under all the other pieces which is a bit weird and not really convenient if you want to pick it up again. ~ [strike] It would be nice to be able to remap the left click mouse to the right click mouse for dragging the canvas. Sometimes when I want to pick up a piece, I accidentally drag the canvas instead. A solution could be to enable the user to remap the controls themselves. [/strike] 2020-12-22 Update: There is now an option to choose the mouse button. ~Not a major problem, but the piece has different color when position top-right (near the light source) or left (far away from the light source). It is a bit deceiving when trying to find a piece with a certain color because the pieces near the light source are whiter. ~I feel like some of the music is more on the epic side of thing when it should be more relaxing/soothing. ~I like the background image for the menu with the map and the monsters. I'm just a bit sad to not have seen any dragon in the image of the story since there is one on the map. :P ~ [strike] One possible improvement would be to add a way to move closer pieces that are far way so you don't have to zoom in an out so much to get them one by one when doing big puzzles. [/strike] 2020-12-22 Update: There is now an attract button that brings the pieces closer by 50% each time it is clicked. I like the idea, but I think the implementation could be improved. [b]Negatives---[/b] -There is a bug where the shadow of a piece is under another piece which is under it, but the color part of the top piece is over the other piece. -Image six has a lot of green and image seven has a lot of grey making them harder to solve at the highest difficulty. -There is a bug with the achievement "Nicely done - Complete any 54 piece puzzle". It only popped after beginning another puzzle and placing a few pieces on it after having finishes a 54 piece puzzle. 2020-12-22 Update: The dev said he fixed the issue. I can't test it again myself. -The achievement for "That's the spirit Complete any 96 piece puzzle" only occurred after place 1 piece from another puzzle. 2020-12-22 Update: The dev said he fixed the issue. I can't test it again myself. [b]Conclusion[/b] This puzzle game is very unique looking and fun to play! The max number of pieces feels alright with the level detail in the images. There is some customizable options available. The controls are responsive. I haven't encountered any snapping bug which is delightful! To all jigsaw puzzle lovers, this one is a sight to be seen and played for sure =D To the devs: Awesome job on this game! I wish you all the best for futures releases on this game and others! Cheers!
