I love Jigsaw puzzles and was quite excited about the prospect of a PC version, no more loosing pieces, no more large boxes cluttering up the house and definitely no more annoying times when someone finishes all your hard work when you have popped to the loo or gone for a coffee.
Jigasawrus comes with over 50 puzzles, you can also download both free and paid expansion packs from the 4pockets.com website. Puzzles come in a range of sizes from 50 to over 500 pieces so ideal for beginners, a spare few minutes or larger jigsaw projects for expert puzzlers.
When you start a game, choose your puzzle from the categories, you can then choose if you want to enable piece rotation, scatter pieces randomly, arrange around the edges and sort edge pieces. Once you have selected the options you want click ok and off you go.
You can play either with a ghost image of the puzzle in the background or simply bring the preview image up from time to time to refresh your memory. At any point during the game you can enable the ghost image or change the background colour to help to see pieces more clearly.
To play simply drag and drop the pieces into place, when you drop them into the correct place you get a little light show and a satisfying click as they fit together. When you complete the puzzle as well as a little congratulations message the game also tells you how long it do to do the puzzle. So if you fancy a bit of competitive jigsawing pause the game each time you need to disapear then challenge your friends to do it quicker.
There is no annoying music with this game so I can do a jigsaw whilst indulging in my favourite tv show or movie.
One of the things I love about this game is the fact you can add your own photos and images to the puzzle gallery, its great to be able to make puzzles out of your fav photo's or making puzzles out of the children's favourite cartoon characters, it makes this a great family game.
I think this is a great game and excellent value at $9.99 for pretty much endless jigsaws, definately got the thumbs up from us. Ripley
