My Jigsaw Adventures - The Source of Power Reviews

Very relaxing game and nice artwork.

Jigsaw puzzles. Do you like jigsaw puzzles? If you like jigsaw puzzles, buy this game.

Awesome jigsaw puzzle game with chill music to puzzle to. For the regular story you control size of puzzle as well as shape of the pieces (i.e. you play your way). Cons: - The "snap to" feature should have a slider to control its effectiveness. It is simply too helpful for my taste. - When starting a new puzzle after reopening the game, you have to scroll down to find the current puzzle. It would be nice if you could see current puzzles at the top. Neither of these cons are a good enough reason for you to not check out this game.

Puzzles... In... Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace!!! My Jigsaw Adventures - The Source of Power is the third in the MJA series. Each can be played out of order. Took me 13 hours to get through all the puzzles (I varied how big each 'diary' puzzle was so it could take you much longer) and 100% achievements. There are 45 puzzles total. Difficulty is Medium to easy, depending on how big the puzzle is. Used a mouse. This is by far my fav game in the series so far. This installment of MJA takes on SPACE! And the story teller has tons of character. The art is still fabulous and extremely varied, from cities to aliens they come across, to mysterious planets and space crafts. Really runs the whole gamut on various art pictures. On top of that, the space soundtrack is really good and is pretty awesome to listen to. The whole layout is upgraded to really give you that futuristic spacey feel. You really can't go wrong with this one. Are you stressed out and just want to chill? This game has... Puzzles! There are 15 story puzzles, 15 'testimonial' puzzles (which are pretty random in size and style), and 15 'Archive' puzzles (which are the easiest of the group but the art is pretty random.) Like the previous games, there are also three styles of puzzle piece, from 'standard' to 'square' to 'arrow'. Once you beat the game, the spiffy art can be downloaded on the main menu, and is organized by groups of 15 (3 groups total). The music can be purchased on the store page. The game will offer to save your progress if you need to turn it off before a puzzle is complete! All of my minor nitpicky probs with previous MJA titles have pretty much been fixed. The only two that stood out were: 1, After playing a Testimonial puzzle that required right-clicking to rotate pieces, then going back to menu and playing a Diary puzzle, said Diary puzzle suddenly had the right-click rotation feature (otherwise the pieces were normally stationary). I couldn't find a way to manually turn rotation off. 2. While the menu has filters to clean up what kind of puzzles you want to play, you continually have to go to the menu and scroll down the list if you want to play what the recently unlocked order is, which switches from Diary to Testimonial to Archive. I wish the 'current' or recently unlocked puzzles were immediately clickable from the menu when you start the game up again on first play-through without having to scroll down. This is only a problem if you are OCD about going back to the menu to select puzzles instead of hitting 'next puzzle' on the completion screen, but then that would take you to the next puzzle of the same type (Finished Testimonial would lead you to the next Testimonial instead of the next Archive or Diary.) The latter of the two problems is nitpickery at its finest, and wont ruin the game for you whatsoever. The former might bug you if you want to be super varied in how you play, especially if you want to play a 1,000 piece puzzle =P . Either or, neither is a deal breaker. In conclusion, If you like puzzles get this game. I love everything CCS makes. Not only do you get 45 awesome puzzles, you also can dl the art and buy the music. And the puzzles tell a space epic! So much coolness! So much Scifinery! So much win.

Absolutely adore the jigsaw puzzle games by this developer (also completed the first two entries of the "My Jigsaw Adventures" - series and loved them) and was super excited to play this 3rd entry of the series. The stories are not connected so each game can be played as a standalone, but if you love jigsaw puzzles I'd highly recommend playing them all :D + The artwork is beautiful and really detailed + Soundtrack is great + Story was interesting to follow along, was excited to finish each puzzle and see what happens next + Great customization options: choose the amount of puzzle pieces (28, 112, 220, 500 or 1000), background color and puzzle piece shape + Puzzle pieces are clustered in the beginning (some may say that this is a negative point, but I like it since I tend to sort my pieces by color - especially when there are 220 or more pieces - and that's a lot easier when there is space around the puzzle :>) + 100% of the achievements are attainable by playing and completing the game + 45 different puzzles + Challenge mode (where you don't know what new challenge the puzzle may throw at you [spoiler] (May involve shuffeling, rotating pieces, black-and-white or different shapes [/spoiler] ) + Great art gallery + Good replayability, just start the game, select your favorite puzzle and get going :D Some things I didn't like as much (but still let me enjoy the game): - Fitting the space theme some puzzles had a lot of grey or at least a lot of the same color, which made them quite a challenge to complete (using 220 pieces or more) - I just wished for a little bit more color differences, e.g. a spark of green or blue sometimes - Some of my favorite pictures of this game are locked behind challenge mode and therefore are locked at 60 pieces and a timer, so sadly they are not playable in "normal mode" with different amounts of pieces and no time pressure :/ 09/10, would totally recommend! :)
