The first Puzzle Pieces game in the series didn't thrill too many puzzle geeks with it's less than desirable features, but this developer didn't give up, he used all our feedback to create a better puzzle game, a puzzle with the features WE asked for! So the next time you think your opinions don't matter, think again. I've had people ask me why I have to submit reviews when I don't like a game or when I talk about features I don't like, why I can't just move on. I've spoken with hundreds of developers and they all say that they love to hear positive feedback, but they aren't mind readers and they can't improve features if they aren't given constructive criticism. Yes, your opinions matter to the developers! Yes, they read our reviews, so be specific, tell them what it is that you liked and didn't like, tell them what features you'd like to see in the next game, you might be surprised to see that your idea has been implemented!

There are 8 Chapters, the eighth chapter is a Locked Mystery Chapter that requires Coins which you'll earn by playing some of the most beautiful HD puzzles you've ever seen. Each chapter has 45 Customizable images (we'll get to those in a bit), all of which are interesting and visually appealing, you'll literally have a hard time choosing which puzzle to do first! There are 42 Achievements to earn, and you'll earn a Daily Coin Reward as well. The Puzzles can be played in a timed or untimed mode and you'll earn more coins the faster you place puzzle pieces in the timed mode, but the timer is easily turned off with a simple on/off switch at the top.

CUSTOMIZATIONS:
Enable/Disable: Piece Rotation
Enable/Disable: Timer
Enable/Disable: Puzzle Preview
Enable/Disable: Random Pieces
Puzzle Piece Amount: Drag Slider Bar 30-961
Choose Puzzle Shape: Standard Tab-Squares-Loop Tabs (7 total)
Zoom Feature: Scroll to Zoom (and drag entire board)
Shuffle: Shuffle Puzzle Pieces
Brightness: Adjust Color-Warmth-Brightness
Background: 10 Background Options
Show/Hide: Edges
Show/Hide: Ghosted Image
Buy Additional Time: On Tined Mode
Hint: Hint For Any Puzzle Piece Placement
Puzzle Preview: Can Be Placed Anywhere

This is a fantastic puzzle game with some of the most beautiful HD images. Please give this game a try, it is by the same developer who created the HO game I put in my "current favorites" on the left, and he's one of the good guys, a Pondie who always asks for our opinions to make better games :)

I like to do my edges first, you can do that. You can change the shapes to even just squares if you want a real challenge.

The pictures are colorful and many different scenes.
A lot of thought has gone in to this to make the game to suit most tastes.
I love to take my time so turned the timer off. Others like a timer. You can choose the best to suit your style.
They listened and I thank them for that. Enjoy, I know I will Show less

What a delightful game! A jigsaw puzzle that includes many of the things I most like: a great (and really large) supply of images, the ability to join pieces anywhere (and they connect with a satisfying thunk so you know the match is correct), a "shuffle" feature that allows you to spread out the puzzle pieces so you can see all of them (around a frame of the picture or in a nice grid), and tons & ...Show more

What a delightful game! A jigsaw puzzle that includes many of the things I most like: a great (and really large) supply of images, the ability to join pieces anywhere (and they connect with a satisfying thunk so you know the match is correct), a "shuffle" feature that allows you to spread out the puzzle pieces so you can see all of them (around a frame of the picture or in a nice grid), and tons & tons of customization features. You can move the playing board to easily accommodate working on different groups of pieces one at a time AND you can zoom in or out to give you better visibility to a set of pieces. There is a timed mode, a number of selections for connector type (check out the neat triangle one!), and a huge range for # of pieces. There are also achievements for those of you who may be interested in those. As pennmom said, the developer has actually LISTENED to our comments on the 1st game in this series and provided us with a number of fixes and improvements. All in all, a great addition to any jigsaw lover's library and promising many hours of fun playing. Show less

But after the demo, that quickly turned into a big "Oh Yes!" I remember how horrible the first Puzzle Pieces earlier this year was. It was so user UN-friendly with features that were odd and useless. Today's new release is a vast improvement and offers a huge amount of puzzles that should please even the fussiest puzzle lover.

The crystal clear pictures are over-the-top beautiful with scrumptious colors and pleasing images. I am really impressed at the turn-around in quality after Puzzle Pieces 1. I love the option of relaxed and timed modes and the challenge of earning extra coins for speed in the timed mode. You can even buy extra time. Keeps your eyes and mind more focused. Also there are 42 achievements to strive for if you enjoy that extra personal feeling of accomplishment.

There are lots of great features to enhance the fun of this puzzle package and customize each puzzle as you wish. With the 8 chapters full of bright, colorful images which includes a Mystery Chapter to dive into, there is plenty of entertainment. I am having a great time assembling gorgeous puzzles in Puzzle Pieces 2. My only complaint is the difficulty in choosing which one I want to fo next..

I appreciate so much that a developer has taken notice of the things that went wrong the first time. Lots of puzzle lovers want more quality puzzles, they are extremely rare at Big Fish. I have complained of another developer numerous times, who absolutely pays no attention to the opinions and complaints of reviewers and no changes are ever made. I just will not support a developer who doesn't care nor sees need for change. So thank you, Graphium Studio, for bringing me some joy today. Jigsaw puzzles are a tremendous diversion (for me) from the stresses of the restrictions and lifestyle changes the virus has created. Show less

Oh what fun!!!! You have GOT to see the unusual shapes you can put your pieces in!!!! The game allows you to have only your border pieces showing first, which is my preference. I have NEVER seen such beautiful pictures. They are beautiful enough to hang on your wall. AND, the best part, there are NO SEAMS in the completed picture!

This is a game that I'll keep coming back to when I'm in the mood to do a jigsaw puzzle. Liking that I can invent my own way of playing by choosing a lot of pieces when I want a challenge or just keep it light and easy by choosing less. And the different shapes are good for a change too. The variety of different puzzles is great!

The variety of different puzzles is great!

I found the trophy page and even though an achievement is reached - when clicking on each trophy there's no way of knowing what each trophy is for. This doesn't detract from the game play - I'm just curious what each achievement is.

Apart from that, I'm loving this game. Show less

I've tried a few other jigsaw games and been disappointed each time. The good reviews made me decide to get this one. So glad I got it. It's by far the best. There are dozens and dozens of puzzles and the pictures are beautiful and varied. You can look at a preview of the puzzle at any time if you feel like you're losing sight of the "big picture." You can also have a ghost picture which can help if you're stuck while searching for the next piece of set of pieces. There's also a hint function, but I haven't used that. You can choose the number of puzzle pieces, although if you do anywhere near the max, the pieces are very tiny which forces you to use the zoom function constantly. That is the only negative I found to this game. A few other reviewers mentioned that there is no save function, but there is one. When you click the X at the top right corner, your progress is saved. When you come back, you hover over the small photo of your puzzle in the bottom left corner of the front page and click on "continue." I

This game gives you hours and hours of jigsaw puzzle fun. I can't think of a better jigsaw puzzle game to own. It's as close as anything I've seen to a physical jigsaw puzzle. Show less

You can choose number and shape of pieces, and whether or not to play timed or rotate pieces. There is also an option for a random puzzle. You can zoom in and out of the puzzle board. Coins are earned by solving, which will be used to unlock the final chapter. The images are mostly good, with the advantage of very few people. Overall, it's quite a good puzzle game!

I really love this game! You can really crank up the difficulty level or you can take it really easy. The colors and subject matter are wonderful. Very relaxing. The only reason I gave the game 4 stars instead of 5 is the lack of a save function. If you start a puzzle and need to leave it, you'll have to start all over again! If you like puzzles grab this one!
