Classic Jigsaw Puzzles Reviews

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.

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

Easy puzzles. They can be completed in 30 minuets to an hour with 280 peaces. It's good for wasting time while waiting on something to download. It needs more puzzles though.

The puzzles are great except sometimes they don't fit together on the edges pieces until you drag them off the board. Otherwise it very calming.

It's a bunch of jigsaw puzzles, they are cool, nothing fancy. I found one annoying bug and one annoying feature that I wish the dev would fix/alter. Annoying bug - matching pieces won't click, they will snap apart like opposite sides of a magnet. Workaround - drag the piece slightly to the right of the other piece, and it should snap together. Annoying feature - snapping to grid. I hate that thing, pops pieces all over the place. No workaround, just do the best you can. I wish the dev would remove it. Overall I do enjoy the game, and will probably buy more dlc. But I'd be more enthusiastic about it if the snapping issues were resolved.

Not a bad Jigsaw Puzzle Game. The photos are what really makes this a pleasure to play. It leaves many other puzzle games for dead with it hi def photos. It's only let down is a rather clunky way of selecting tiles, it's a little hit and miss. When clicking on a tile it doesn't always work. This tends to become somewhat frustrating. After much messing around trying to find a way of making sure it selects I discovered by placing the cursor on the tile, letting it rest for a little and then making a small movement to the right it worked, but again, not every time but better than simply clicking on it. It also falls down on rotating the tiles, again, hit and miss. Trying to find that magic spot works, sometimes not. It's simply move the cursor and try again. Taking your time will increase your success rate. One last hiccup was discovered when I'd made a string of edge tiles and tried to position them, the darned string insisted on sliding to the left. To combat this I moved the string a couple of Centimetres to the right and let go. It still slid to the left, but connected, Weird but once you know the trick it seems to work every time. So a few things to watch out for, but once your know what to expect it becomes second nature. I'll be honest, I was ready to delete the whole game but after playing 6 or 7 puzzles I started to enjoy the game. Darn, I forgot one other minor error, if you purchase the whole library you'll find a few of the generous collections are duplicated and some photos aren't what's depicted on the preview. The game appears as if it's still in Beta phase although I think the owner may have given up on it If it's been out fora while I'm surprised he or she hasn't bothered to fix the problems. If you're wondering why I still like the game, Number 1 would have to be the excellent photos, Number 2 would be the price. I've paid $10.95 for one game's DLC, this one is only .59 cents per DLC. Definitely a bargain once you get past those problems mentioned earlier. Grab this game for free, it gives plenty of puzzles. If you like it, pick up those DLC 's. In the meantime I'll keep my fingers crossed for more collections.

PROS * Huge selection of puzzles - base game has 8 collections with 10 different puzzles each, with 5 difficulty levels. * Pictures are vibrant and aesthetically pleasing * Great replayability value * Great value for money - base game is inexpensive, as are DLCs, AND they do go on sale as well. CONS * Interface is not intuitive - no tool tips to tell you what things are * Controls can be randomly finicky where sometimes even repeated clicking a puzzle piece won't pick it up BUT, when attempting to scroll the sidebar of pieces up or down every mouse click will pick up a piece (le sigh). * There does not appear to be a slider for to control volume of music and sounds, it's either On/Muted. Nifty little game, great value for money. As someone a jigsaw puzzlephile, this is a great alternative when physical jigsaw puzzles are no longer viable.

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 groups to select from. within each of those groups there are several actual images to pick from. [i]when/if you purchase any of the dlc packets, you may discover a "dupe". that's because the main puzzle game has one or two puzzles from each of the dlc in it. (hence why i referred to it as being a "sampler".)[/i] all in all, it's not the most intellectual game. if you want to be challenged in more than poking at something when the scrolling won't stop on the side because you spun it too fast, this likely isn't the game for you. but if you want something relatively mindless with pretty/cute scenes to work on during a headache, i definitely recommend this... [i]welll, once you turn the sound/music off, anyway. they aren't horrendous. but if you have your main computer volume up at all, it will blast you. and you can't adjust it from inside the game... all you get is on or off.[/i] hope this review helps you decide and isn't Too hard to follow or repetitive. have a good one! ~kstormgemini

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.

[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 in progress, or that you have completed a certain piece count, which I found very handy! The pieces are lined up on the side of the puzzle board, so you just drag the piece that you want onto the board to place it. The side can be moved up or down to search for a piece, or to just see different pieces. There is also a shuffle button if you don't want to scroll up and down to find pieces, or group the outline pieces together, which can be helpful for younger puzzlers!! I find this to be a nice change since the puzzle board area is larger so you don't have to magnify everything. The pieces do not snap to the board, rather snap to each other so you can put together groups of pieces and then connect them where they belong later. There are 12 background color choices for the board, and you can choose to play with sounds and music on or off, which I find to be nice features. I will be buying ALL of the DLC also since it is VERY cheap, especially when on sale! If you like casual puzzling, or have children that like jigsaw puzzles, this is a MUST buy in my opinion! I rate this game 10/10!!
