I like this new collection much better than the last one. The images depicting Spring are more colorful. Most of the puzzles are really lovely, some in the animal and urban categories are somewhat unimpressive. I especially thought the animals could have been better, a more interesting variety.

I love all the features and options, there are plenty to make puzzle assembly fun and the variety of piece shapes can change the "challenge" when not using the standard style. Colors are nice and there's a good variety of subject matter. Amount of pieces range from 9 to 1520, so there's a puzzle size to please just about everybody.

Will purchase this pretty set of puzzles from Graphium Studios, looking forward to endless hours of relaxing fun, enjoying one of my favorite hobbies. I work on puzzles every single day. This will be an excellent addition to my ever-growing collection. Show less

You know a developer cares when they keep tweaking games to include new or improved features and that's exactly what Graphium Studios does! The images cover several category genres, and the features are easy to use with plenty of custom settings available.

The categories include Landscape (33) Blossoms (36), Macro (30), Birds (27) Still Life (27), Animals (27) Parks (24), Digital Art (24), and ...Show more

You know a developer cares when they keep tweaking games to include new or improved features and that's exactly what Graphium Studios does! The images cover several category genres, and the features are easy to use with plenty of custom settings available.

The categories include Landscape (33) Blossoms (36), Macro (30), Birds (27) Still Life (27), Animals (27) Parks (24), Digital Art (24), and Urban (29) There are 4 puzzle shapes to choose from, a Traditional Jigsaw shape, a Round shape with jagged edges, a Wavy shape, and my personal favorite, a Square with no tabs whatsoever! Puzzles can be assembled in sizes from 6 pieces to over 1500 pieces and you can enable Puzzle piece Rotation, as well as an Edge Piece Sort that places all edge pieces around the puzzle board.

There are several in-game option Tabs as well, you can grab sections of puzzle pieces, there's a normalization option to snap the puzzle back to the center, a Ghosted picture option, a Magnifier Plus or Minus tab (or you can scroll the mouse wheel to enlarge) a Features Guide, and my absolute favorite...a Background Color selector that allows you to choose ANY color you want!

I just have a couple of requests:

1-After completing the border, there is a huge gap where the edge pieces were located. Currently, other than manually grabbing sections and aligning the pieces individually, there isn't a feature that will automatically re-organize the remaining puzzle pieces. One of my favorite puzzle games, Jigsaw Mania, has two amazing tabs to organize with just a click of a button- one that aligns all remaining pieces neatly around the puzzle board, and another that organizes all pieces that have been selected by dragging a box around a group of puzzle pieces, which can then be dragged & placed anywhere on the board.

2-I couldn't hear the pieces "snap" into place even when I turned the music volume down considerably. I think most would agree that this sound needs to be heard a bit better to avoid confusion about whether or not two pieces are adjoined.

3-Even though there is a wide variety of pictures, it would be wonderful if we had the option to download our own pictures! I'm picky about the pictures because I opt for the square puzzle pieces. I like a lot of detail because there are no tabs on a square piece. Having the ability to add our own images means it doesn't matter if the available images are appealing to everyone if they can choose to download their own images.

Loved putting the puzzle pieces together initially. Once I finished the first go round, I would go back and increase the number of puzzle pieces to do the puzzle(s) over. Initially, I didn't have a problem, however, I noted that some of the puzzles (i.e. some of the florals) would end up with too many corner pieces (or not enough corner pieces--need 4) OR not enough pieces or too many pieces for one of the sides. I sort all the pieces by side and upper and lower; then sort by shape before I start to put together the frame (4 sides). This type of puzzle is extremely relaxing but frustrating when there are either too many pieces or not enough.
I don't understand what happened because there was no problem when initially played. This seemed to happen to me when I would re-do/re-play a puzzle by increasing the number of pieces.
I'd be interested to know if other people have had this issue. Show less

I recommend this game!

I would love to buy it but the problem is that I can't find the frame where to place the puzzle pieces and the pieces don't attach together. But il you have a solution for me In that case I will buy it right away.

I don't recommend this game.
