Magic Lessons in Wand Valley - a jigsaw puzzle tale Reviews

These puzzle games are just so wonderful! They are peaceful and relaxing and let you have a really good time while sticking pieces together! All the functions from "Buddy" are here. "Lucky" had a slightly different function for the "border pieces". I believe a different artist worked on these, as the artwork differs from the other two... BUT it's still great! It tells a small and a simple story! While you are doing puzzles, you can make up your own dialogue. Or just do whatcha want. What's not to like about it? It even comes in different languages... and many different puzzle sizes... and you will be playing for hours! And yes, it saves your puzzle if you don't finish it. That's a must. :D Thank YOU! Keep up the adorable and good work!!! :) =) :>

#05 Game in my Pile-of-Shame Challenge! Really liked the art in this one, was rather different from the other games from this studio. I did enjoy the game and love that you can change the background to a darker one to suit your eyes and find bright colored pieces better. YET, as an achievement hunter and i person that would have liked to play the game in all it's difficulties, it was quiet boring after a while to play the same 6 pictures all over again, so i decided against the 100% in this game. Either way, it took me around 4h to complete each picture in the midrange size, so 2€ is a really nice price value. I don't reget getting the whole bundle back then.

I love this jigsaw puzzle! It tells a nice story of a wizard apprentice. Only 6 images but so beautiful, I feel the artist really dedicated himself to create this. The different puzzle sizes make me play for hours. The music is relaxing and dynamic, keeps me in the mood for playing for a long time. The last update brought some new features, it's good to see devs improving the game! It is totally worth the price, the bundle with the other jigsaw puzzles is even better. 

6 simple puzzles, you can redo them with increasing amount of pieces. Was nice story that develops as you finish each puzzle. For less than $2 it was good.

(reviewed: 2020-11-08) [b]Positives+++[/b] +I like the font used in the game. I find it pretty. +The music is beautiful ♪♫. It is a pleasure to listen too. Really setup the magical mood to solve the puzzles. +I like the different special effects when placing a piece on the board! There is 10 differents effects. +The images are beautiful. The background have some detailed that make it easier and more interesting to solve the puzzles. +The color theme of this game is really on point. Not only for the picture but for the UI too. [b]Observations and suggestions~~~[/b] ~The division of the quadrant hint could be split in equal rows and columns. Currently, when playing "Inspiration" at difficulty 240, the upper quadrants have 6 rows and the lower quadrants only have 4 rows. What about making them 5 rows each? Same thing for the columns. Left quadrant have 10 columns and right have 8. Note: the edge pieces have already been placed on the board at this point. ~Maybe add a next puzzle button when finishing a puzzle. Currently, the only option is to navigate to the menu and than, to click on the next puzzle. It kind of break the flow a little bit. ~I really like the music, but it gets a little bit repetitive. Maybe add 1 or 2 new tracks so that when playing for a long period of time the music if more diversified. [b]Negatives---[/b] -I got a bug, after closing and restarting the game, clicking on the first solved puzzle at the first difficulty, I was not able to click the show edge pieces anymore. Going back to the menu brought me to a blank orange background. I had to quit the game manually in my task bar and reopen it. It was okay after that. [b]Conclusion[/b] I think this game is the best from the jigsaw series from the developers. The image have a range of color, background elements and saturation that makes it fun to solve even on bigger puzzle size. The price is fair for 6 puzzles that can be solve in 5 difficulties each. A nice little addition to a puzzle game collection!

I really like this jigsaw puzzle game. The illustrations are beautiful and tell a simple but nice story. The modes with different amount of pieces lets you play for many hours. The music is very comforting and keeps you in the mood. It has some nice features to help setting up the puzzles. The entire series from the studio is worth playing. Recommended!

I loved this game, very interesting, challenging and beautiful. The drawings are amazing, the programming is fine tuned, the user interface is well executed. It is so good! Congratulations to the developers!!

This game is such a gem in so many ways. It made me really miss my jigsaw puzzle days. Soothing music, gorgeous art and animations, it checks all the boxes.

I didn't remember how pleasant it was to play a jigsaw-puzzle. This game is very relaxing and each level is a continuation of a story. Beautiful illustrations like a picture book. The background music is also cool and well balanced. There's a variety of options on the menu to help you organize the pieces and compare them to the final image.

A lovely puzzle game with a simple story to go along with the wonderful colours and excellent design. This is a game for jigsaw puzzle fans. There are only six separate pictures, and the challenge comes from playing with more and more pieces. The artwork is outstanding, especially if you like the fantasy genre (wizards in particular). This game could be suitable for younger players at the 135-piece level; however, there is enough depth to entertain experienced puzzlers. Pros: - art design - puzzle design (clearly thought went into how the light effects add to challenge and interest) - control design (you can play "bare bones" for a challenge, or use a number of available sorting presets to make things faster or easier) - very nice music - Steam achievements Cons: - limited number of images - no "creative" achievements (simple completion achievements) Overall: If you enjoy doing puzzles in the virtual world, this game is worth adding to your library. It lacks complexity as a game, but is well-designed for doing jigsaw puzzles. The music is a plus.
