I recommend this game!

I tried the demo on this game and pretty much decided within 10 minutes that I'd like to buy it. There's plenty of images you can break into jigsaw and both the pieces number and style can be customised, so the challenge is as easy or hard as you like.

The puzzle game engine seems to work well enough, and peices seem to fit together very well, and will actually look like they should go there ...Show more

I tried the demo on this game and pretty much decided within 10 minutes that I'd like to buy it. There's plenty of images you can break into jigsaw and both the pieces number and style can be customised, so the challenge is as easy or hard as you like.

The puzzle game engine seems to work well enough, and peices seem to fit together very well, and will actually look like they should go there when you hover them over the image. Some other jigsaw games they are using lower resolution sprites until they can paste the image in, once you release the piece, and it can make a lot of trial and error choices - totally not helpful.

A couple of things you prospective buyers should be aware of, however, and the reasons I didn't give it 5 stars.

Firstly there is a tab for custom images and a nice inviting load image button for you to click on and then select any picture you like of your own to create a jigsaw from. It clicks but absolutely nothing else happens, whereas it should be giving you a folder selection so you can select the image to use from your own stash. This is not good and shouldn't have gone out of testing like that. I wanted this game mainly for that option, so I'm pretty unhappy that it's not working, yet we're teased with it. If anyone does get it working, and it's just something to do with my setup, then please let me know.

Secondly, and probably just as useful to know, for you Mac players out there, just like me. The game is claiming intel only on its game page but you can ignore that little over-cautious comment. This is running fine on my M2 Mac mini pro, and that's a silicon machine, rather than Intel. So, if you have a newer Mac then you can still play this fine. Show less

I recommend this game!

Jigsaw and Swap modes. It's nice to have a choice but the jigsaw is always my preference. There are only 125 images. The generous amount of piece shapes make assembly so much fun because they create more challenge than the standard type. I like trying them all and found some that are really too frustrating for me.

Food is always boring. The assortment of food groups and staged table settings ...Show more

Jigsaw and Swap modes. It's nice to have a choice but the jigsaw is always my preference. There are only 125 images. The generous amount of piece shapes make assembly so much fun because they create more challenge than the standard type. I like trying them all and found some that are really too frustrating for me.

Food is always boring. The assortment of food groups and staged table settings are unappealing to me. I don't enjoy images of a bunch of olives or tomatoes or wheat shafts.. Things and Nature seemed the most colorful. Overall the categories didn't offer much variety. I love the old buildings, ruins, landmarks and such but there's more to this beautiful country than just that.

I think this is a nice collection of puzzles but could've been better if images of animals, people, festivities, marketplaces and such were included. The demo was fun with the image and piece style that I chose. If there were fewer architectural images and no food, I would purchase.

Tiny Little Lion always presents us with quality graphics. The abundance of features/options to customize the puzzles provide more than just the usual fun challenge. Puzzle sizes and rotation options are also a plus. Others may find these puzzles to be right up their alley and won't get bored with all the architect and food. I'm hoping the next Puzzle Vacations will be my cup of tea. Show less

Based on playing the demo on a WIndows 11 PC.

Number 9 in this series was a big disappointment to me. Once again the engine has supposedly been updated; this time so that a downloadable soundtrack is available. However, I could not find this feature anywhere in the demo (maybe I just missed something) nor I could I find any instructions relating to how to access this feature.

As far as content goes: while the pix were very good and representative of Italy, the captions supplied for the wallpapers did not match the wallpapers. I found this out after playing several levels of the game.

Until changes are made to this release, I cannot recommend that anyone buy it. Please play the demo in the future to ensure that upgrades are made resulting in functional features before investing in this edition of a previously wonderful series. Show less

I don't recommend this game.
