You can go to the chapters, there are 5, in any order and choose any puzzle to assemble. All can be replayed, the game works smoothly, special features aren't really a necessity, imo.

You can go to the chapters, there are 5, in any order and choose any puzzle to assemble. All can be replayed, the game works smoothly, special features aren't really a necessity, imo. The puzzles are cute and colorful, very basic artwork but stained glass is always beautiful to me, not always needing to be brightly colored.

The pieces below the work area can be brought out and placed about, making your work easier. They are really hard to see until you bring them up and then their colors appear. Put them together like the jigsaw method, the only difference is that the pieces aren't the typical style.

There's a mix of challenge and easier but not so easy that you can quickly finish a puzzle. I was able to complete 4 of them in the demo only because I picked what seemed to be the less complicated to me. It was fun. Similar to the mosaic puzzles of yesteryear but not as beautiful or challenging.

A paint option after assembly provides extra enjoyment. I really liked that feature. It allows you to repaint the puzzle over the colors already applied so you can see the difference right away and there's a good variation of colors to choose from. You can even revert back to the original colors if you want, which is cool because if you decide to keep it as a wallpaper you'd want the prettiest version.

I don't feel there are enough puzzles but having the paint feature does extend the game. Using our imaginations with color is always fun but I thought they should've been brighter but the softer colors are still very pretty.

When this is eligible for a discount price I will definitely purchase. BFG's new policy for new/recent release prices is a definite downer for obvious reasons. If a good sale comes up, I want to buy games I'm interested in without waiting for weeks. Like many others I rely on sales for my purchases because living on a tighter budget these days takes priority! Show less

I recommend this game!

I really enjoyed this glass jigsaw...although I wasn't thrilled over the subject...it reminded me of another game I purchased "Glass Masquerade"...which I play often...would love to see more like this where you actually use the glass as jigsaw rather than just clicking on a space to reveal the parts...bought it right after demo...happy with this purchase.

I recommend this game!

I can't complain about this game very much since I purchased it right away. The one area of the game that really needs to be improved is the conveyor belt underneath the puzzle. The area is so dark that it's very difficult to see many of the pieces.

I can't complain about this game very much since I purchased it right away. The one area of the game that really needs to be improved is the conveyor belt underneath the puzzle. The area is so dark that it's very difficult to see many of the pieces. But, the biggest problem is that to move the conveyor and access all of the pieces, you have to click on it and drag it with your mouse. It desperately needs to have arrows to click on to move the conveyor belt to the left and right. I mean it REALLY needs those arrows. Too much of the time when I wanted to grab it with my mouse and move it left and right, I grabbed a puzzle piece instead of a space between the pieces - partially because the area is so dark. If it had arrows to move the conveyor belt/inventory of pieces, it would be just about perfect for me. I love this type of game and it's been a very long time since one has been offered. Show less

I recommend this game!

I agree with the reviewer who discussed the clunky handling this game offers. But there is one not mentioned AND it is a BIG one. When you try to put a piece back in the scroll box it is hit or miss. If the game thinks it's a miss, the piece seems to go under the scroll box leaving just a hint showing at the top edge. You will never get that piece back; you will never finish the puzzle. So sad. ...Show more

The pictures are nice but not quite the same caliber as "Glass Masquerade".

Mechanics are simple, despite the lack of ANY instructions, but are annoying to me as you have to hold down the LMB in order to move/drag a piece; if this worked like most jigsaw puzzles, I might consider buying this. I want to click, move the piece, click again to release/place it.

The "animation" when snapping a piece into place is interesting at first, but "gets old" quickly. The ribbon at the bottom is rather clunky to scroll in either direction, just like wanting to release it back onto it is graphically confusing.

Sorry, it's not terrible, but the user interface makes it a "no buy" for me. Show less

I don't recommend this game.
