Glass Masquerade

Very beautiful. Very relaxing gameplay. I encountered no bugs and I love the soundtrack! I also like that you touch upon many national myths and legends in the pictures you put together. The only thing that annoys me is the fact you get no world overview, at least I found no way to zoom out of the closer view. And half of the screen (when you are scrolling along the world map to chose your next destination) is taken up by the last jigsaw you solved, even after re-entering the game. So later on it gets a bit tedious to find the jigsaws you have yet to solve. But that's just menu navigation - and even though I'm itching for this overview because I think it would be very satisfying to see my progress, I try to forget that during the actual gameplay. There is also a different view of your progress right at the start of the game (national flags of the countries you already visited), so I guess that will have to do...

The first thing that stood out was the feel of the game. The lag when moving a piece from the edge to where you want to place it felt disjointed. It felt gross. It felt so wrong. Like when a deranged orange baboon somehow became president of a country. Twice. Then the pieces not being exact caused me dissonance. I'm a bit of a perfectionist with my puzzling, so having pieces that didn't fit right - not the right size, extra protrusions on it, not exactly the right shape - was causing me untold grief in getting puzzles completed. I'd hover a piece over a spot, say it didn't fit, drop the piece to have it magically slot into place with the clinking of glass fragments signaling it took...and still shaking my head saying the piece didn't fit there. After a while I realized the game takes some artistic liberties with its art. It's art so...yeah. And the dev might have Piece Mismatch Syndrome so no judgement. After those epiphanies puzzle completion sped up noticeably. And after...

Good.

the thick line of edge is annoying. gotta disappear it.

coolio

Very nice, calm game with beautiful puzzle images. Loved to play it while listening to youtube in the background. Also felt a sense of improvement, as puzzles became easier and faster to solve over time even though the difficulty increased. One flaw is the puzzle piece wheel that is too sensitive and I kept spinning it when I wanted to pick up a specific piece. Totally worth the discount price and I'll probably get the DLCs

Completed this game in 4 hours. There is a HUGE annoying clock face that sits over the image. It's annoying as hell, covers up part of the image, and at the end of the puzzle (the satisfying bit we're all waiting for) it continues to be there, covering the image so you can't even appreciate and enjoy the puzzle you just finished. The puzzle are EASY so easy, my god... boring. They give you 25 easy puzzles for £5... not worth the money, absolute rip off. Everyone online raved about this game, and the only positives I can say is that the music is nice, and the finished pictures (what you can see of them) are pretty. They seriously need an option to remove the awful clock face, and they need to offer more than just 25 easy puzzles for £5. Free puzzle games offer more than that, and they're free. Either make the puzzles MUCH harder, or offer more.
