Classic Jigsaw Puzzles

[h1]Great Jigsaw Puzzle Game for Casual Puzzlers!![/h1] [b]I had to write a review for this game, because contrary to the 2 negative reviews, IT WORKS FINE![/b] This game is even great for children or adults as each puzzle can be played with 5 piece counts, 12, 35, 70, 140, or 280. The only reason I say this game is for casual puzzlers is that the piece count only goes up to 280, and most hard-core puzzlers yearn for higher, and more difficult piece counts. The pictures are beautiful and varied, and there are a number of DLC that can be purchased for even more variety. When you start the game, you can choose to play in windowed mode, and also select different resolutions, graphic quality, and monitor (if you have more than one). Also, when you start the game, you need to choose whether to play the main game, or select a DLC as they are not all combined into the main game. When you select a puzzle, it asks you to choose the piece count you wish, and also lets you know that a puzzle is ...

Not sure why there are negative reviews for this. But I haven't had any problems with pieces connecting on any of the difficulty piece counts. Also have tried several DLC's and they work fine also. I have a very basic graphics Win 10 i3 computer...no issues. Puzzle pieces don't rotate which may or may not be to your liking. Tho for someone with hands that hurt easily...this is a better alternative to some other jigsaw games. I turn off their background music and play my own playlist. Price is great when bought on the super sales. Never spent more than 49 cents on any DLC...wait for the sales.

Positives+++ +I like that there is different setting for the reference image (no reference, small reference, full board size reference). +I like that at the end of a puzzle you can see the time it took to complete it. +I like that the corner piece have a white border making it even easier to see which one is a border piece! +I like that there is a button to show only corner pieces. +I very much like that there is a progress bar on each puzzle size of each puzzle :D +I like the "complete" text under the puzzle size of each image. +I like that pieces don't snap to the board but snap to each other. +UI is nice +There really is a lot of puzzle to do! 8 categories with each 10 puzzles, making it a total of 80 puzzles with 5 difficulty (12, 35, 70, 140, 280)! Observations and suggestions~~~ ~Some of the background choice just doesn't make sense. Why would I want a rainbow background? It doesn't enable me to see any of the pieces correctly. More background option with neutral color whould be...

Good selection of puzzles. I like that you can select to view edge pieces only and there are options to show the reference picture or not. The pieces snap to each other but sometimes don't want to snap together even when its the correct piece, especially the edge pieces. I like the different size selection. The piece selection and scrolling does not work well at all. I often click on a piece and the mouse doesn't pick it up or try to scroll up but it selects a piece instead, and the scroll speed is slow to the point of being almost unusable. The mouse wheel should scroll through the pieces and it should be a lot faster. I'd also like to be able to access the DLC through the menu instead of the play button on Steam.

Bugged, pieces won't connect

Pieces are squeezed into the sidebars, image squeezed into center, unused space between piece columns and the image. Can't rest pieces there temporarily. Worst: Pieces let go are 'tossed' by the game in undesired places, overlapping often with others which makes this puzzle unusable. I saw better puzzles. Music is just on/off, no volume control. Pity as I liked the images. But those controls are much worse then from other puzzle games.

This is a no brainer. If you like a relaxing pick me up game, then this is well worth the very low price. Excellent game. Controls are easy, intuitive and well designed. Very enjoyable. Recommended.

I love doing these puzzles..... there is nothing that relaxes me more in these crazy times.

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...

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
