Art Puzzle - Jigsaw Games 12+

Games have to be pretty bad for me to leave a review. I never leave positive reviews because let’s be real, most games are mid at best. But this game is literally one of my favorites and here’s why. 1. There’s A MILLION levels to this game! I’ve played regularly for about two years and I still have hundreds of levels to play. 2. I don’t have to buy coins or diamonds or keys or tickets to mate it through a game. In fact, this game has zero purchases unless you want to remove ads, and they don’t limit gameplay if you get stuck.. just watch an ad and get a hint (it’s extremely rare that I need a hint). 3. The less mistakes you make putting the pieces together, the fewer ads you need to watch! That’s Huge! Ads are very minimal if you’re a decent game player. 4. The game isn’t TIMED. You can literally take your time putting puzzles together and not have any penalties. 5. The game is suuuuper relaxing. I play every night to calm my mind. I suffer from extreme anxiety and I’ve downloaded games that are supposedly made specifically for relaxation, but none of them even come close to this one. This game requires you to think but not overthink. It’s literally perfect.

Thank you developers. There are games similar to this one on the App Store but this one was the first I tried and I’m unapologetically loyal to it.

Original Comments:
This game is supposed to be relaxing, but all the ads defeat that purpose and just make it tedious and frustrating. You start with a background “canvas” and all the various elements that you’ll be adding to it are at the bottom of the screen. The elements are added one batch at a time, but the process is interrupted by ads you have to endure between every couple batches. This translates to having to watch maybe 3-5 ads for every picture you complete. Then when the picture is finished, there will be yet another ad before you can move on to another picture. Additionally, sometimes the last element in a batch is so obscure and hard to find, you’re pretty much forced to watch an ad in order to obtain a hint, just so you can move on. I’ve come to really really hate this sort of ad-based “free” game. I only play 2-4 casual games at a time, but when they’re all like this, that ends up being a ton of ads I’m watching (or rather, trying to ignore) every single day, and I’m heartily sick of it! When a game offers an ad-free upgrade for $3-5, I’m HAPPY to pay that, once I’ve played long enough to know I’ll enjoy the game for at least a few months. So take my money and leave me alone with all the frickin’ ads!

Let me preface this review by saying that I love, and am hopelessly addicted to this app, so much so that I have just totally finished all 1000+ puzzles in the game and am waiting for new puzzles to be added. With that being said, I’m going to have to say that there are a few issues that need to be addressed and the first one is this: The puzzles must be solved in sequence with no option to skip ahead or go back, erase and recolor. If that were not the case, I wouldn’t be waiting on more additions. I do feel that not all the puzzles are appealing and sometimes would like to skip over one, but this is not allowed. Secondly, I feel like the developers need to decide exactly what audience they want to attract. Some of the puzzles are very juvenile in feel with lots of cats, mushrooms and almost cartoon-like characters. These do not appeal to me as much as the more mature landscapes, home decor and other more mature scenes. So, if solving in sequence is mandatory, there is no way to get around the more juvenile themes and you just have to bite the bullet and plow through them. I have had no problems with crashes and there is a very nominal price to get rid of the ads. So, c’mon guys! Let me give you a five-star review.
