Excellent Jigsaw Fun

  

BASED ON DEMO

This is the best to date of the many jigsaw games produced by this (prolific) developer. It is a well presented game, with good graphics and very pleasant and relaxing music.

The major difference from most jigsaw games is that this one has so many photos. We have 7 boxes to choose from, each holding roughly 100 photos, which have been taken in the city each box represents. These are well taken shots and cover an interesting variety of aspects of the cities.

One unique innovation in this game is the option to change the resolution. Excellent idea!

There are also the standard options that you’d expect from an electronic jigsaw game.

*make pieces ‘stick’ to board when they are placed in the right spot – or not.
*set the number of pieces from roughly 12 to as much as 350.
*change the cut of the pieces
*rotation or not

Within the puzzle, there are further options

*background colour
*display an image and/or ghost of the board
*option to sort and/or show only edges

You also have a hint button and a magnifier, and a box for keeping some items separate.

And there is a point scoring system, although you are not under any type of time constraints.

As I say, this is my new favourite jigsaw game, but if I had one thing I could improve, it would be that the photos had captions. I know the Eiffel Tower when I see it, but most of the images were new to me, and I would have liked to have known what I was looking at.

I Recommend This Game!
