My Jigsaw Adventures - Roads of Life

Schönes Puzzle mit all seinen Features! Gute Bilder! Die Musik dazu ist soweit nett. Die Geschichte zu den Bildern ist allerdings eher langweilig erzählt oder recht schlecht ins Deutsche übersetzt worden. Wunsch: Bessere Erzählform oder deutsche Übersetzung davon. Tolle Geschichten! Animationen einbauen. Mehr mit Musik, Sound- und Optikeffekten arbeiten. Weitere Puzzleteilchen-Formate? Sprachausgabe? P.S. Den Entwicklern mal einen heißen Kaffee hinstell ;)

Relaxing and enjoyable puzzle game. The story doesn't add a lot of depth, it's more of a framework for the series of puzzles. Nothing wrong with the overarching concept, just don't expect a story-rich game. There are a limited, but very reasonable number of puzzles. The puzzle (image) difficulty goes up a bit as you progress. Puzzles come in five different sizes and three different puzzle piece shapes (traditional, square - everything is an edge piece! - and jagged). My only complaint was that I had to click and drag puzzle pieces (not just click). Worth buying if you enjoy doing jigsaw puzzles on your computer. Relaxing entertainment that provides a break from busy days or busy games :)

A classique Jigsaw puzzle game with a few options such as the size (up to 220 pieces, which isn't a lot) and the type of pieces (classic, mosaic and arrows). There is a small story to follow, the illustrations are related to the story but so little is touched regarding everything that it's easily forgettable as every places and people are limited to one or two of the 18 pictures and that's it. I was gifted the second title of the series so we'll see if that meh point will get better in the future, who knows ?

[quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/quote] My Jigsaw Adventures - Roads of Life is a Unity Asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", CCS, took the [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/jigsaw-puzzle-creator-kit-49279]Jigsaw Puzzle Creator Kit[/url] Unity Store tutorial/demo/game asset pack from the real developers, Allebi, changed the name, put some art from some guy on it (they credited him but it's unclear how much, if anything, they paid the guy to use his art for their asset flip) and dumped the result onto Steam. They're attempting to scam people into buying this, so they can get your money for someone else's work. It gets worse... "Jigsaw Puzzle Creator Kit" has also been shamelessly dumped on Steam by other asset flippers apart from CCS: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1399660]My Little Prince - a jigsaw puzzle tale[/url]", asset flipped by Mens Sana Interactive [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1446280]Alice in Wonderland[/url]", asset flipped by Mens Sana Interactive [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1233540]How Buddy’s parents met - a jigsaw puzzle tale[/url]", asset flipped by Mens Sana Interactive [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1309130]Lucky and a Life Worth Living[/url]", asset flipped by Mens Sana Interactive [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1330550]Magic Lessons in Wand Valley[/url]", asset flipped by Mens Sana Interactive [/list] Take a look for yourself... these are all reskins of [i]exactly the same game![/i] Now... in this case it's pretty obvious the Jigsaw Puzzle Creator Kit is intended to be used this way, so calling it an asset flip is a bit harsh! Well, yes and no. See, CCS never credited Allebi for basically writing their entire game for them. Taking someone else's work and not crediting them, pretending you made it instead of the actual creator, this is unethical, it's plagiarism. Even worse when you [i]try to take gamers money for someone else's work, trying to mislead gamers into thinking it's yours![/i]. We also have to question what value value there is in this. Reskinning someone else's "game" doesn't create a product of value for gamers. The products that result from asset flips aren't "real" games. They lack depth and content, because they're just simplistic copies of demos or tutorials. In this case, "Jigsaw Puzzle Creator Kit" is just an asset pack for doing a simple jigsaw game, combined with art assets ripped off from some artist on the internet, and doesn't have any merit as a proper, fully fledged PC game. The "developer" here probably spent about half an hour dropping images onto the game template, dumped it on Steam and called it a day. How is this real game development? How is this good for gamers? Asset flips like this are harmful to the gaming industry and to Steam because they reduce the visibility that sincerely made indie games should have, and make it harder for gamers to find real games from genuine developers. Don't reward this morally bankrupt, unethical behaviour from CCS.

I don't often write reviews but felt I needed to for this. I have played LOTS of Jigsaw games, in fact went on a very frustrating search for them not too long back and kept getting offered hentai jigsaw games. Really? How is anyone that patient for porn? Anyway... I found this game completely unique in the genre as it is really a storybook cleverly disguised in jigsaw format. I have yet to encounter a jigsaw game w/ a story component. Match-3, yes, nonogram, mosaic, even solitaire, but they were minimal threads at best. This has a compelling story that is supported by beautiful paintings that make up the puzzles. And that word, compelling, is the key. When I get a new, good, game I am compelled to keep playing it. This has never been the case in jigsaw before this. After the first night playing I woke the next day and my first thought was to get back to it. I want to know how the story turns out! Each puzzle moves the narrative along and rewards with another snippet of the tale. Now to the nuts and bolts of the actual game - it needs work. I have already purchased the second in the series and hope some things have been addressed. It does have options concerning display of pieces and size on the screen of the puzzle, nicely accomplished by the scroll wheel. However I am having to do this at the start of each puzzle. Once you set these things they should become the default. There is also a feature where getting close to a piece's position will click it into place. This should be optional. I don't really want that cheaty feeling help. I was thinking they needed to add a sound when a piece is properly placed and then realized there was one but it was so quiet in comparison to the music (which for the most part is also quite beautiful, if a little repetitive) that I hadn't heard it. So that could use a bump. The hint button is this big RED box in the bottom center of the screen. Considering the clean elegance of the rest of the design with it's cool toned blue color pallet this is odd and jarring. Also for whatever reason mine does not say hint. It's just a blank, red, rectangle. I found out by clicking it and later saw it on screen shots for the game. So yes, I do recommend it if you enjoy jigsaws, and beautiful artwork and story in gaming is important to you. If you are just interested in a jigsaw game with lots of tools and modification and lots of puzzles this maybe isn't it. Oh, also, nice bonus - the paintings can be saved to your system once completed. One is currently my wallpaper.

The 100% positive rating so far speaks for itself. I quite enjoyed this little puzzle game. The images look kind of like water colored images. They don't lend themselves too well to huge puzzle sizes sometimes, but you can choose any of a variety of puzzle sizes for each image. Overall well worth the price. Give it a try! The only downside was some achievements were triggered when they should not be. They all did trigger, so for a hunter it won't be a problem, but the ones for gold medals popped up way too early.

Thumbs up! I didn’t like the framing story, but the jigsaw puzzles themselves are okay. I liked the artwork and the music. There are only 18 different pictures, but it’s possible to select the number of pieces and their shapes. There is no option to add extra pictures, but this is the first game in a series, so you can look at the other games if you like this one. There are some timed achievements, but it doesn’t mention exactly how fast you need to solve a puzzle to get them. I’m not a big fan of timed achievements, but the timeframes were reasonable. I didn’t have any problems getting those achievements.

My Jigsaw Adventures - Roads of Life is a jigsaw puzzle game with a storyline twist. Go through the story on normal mode in 1.5ish hours, 100%'d achievements in 3 hours. Played using a mouse. Difficulty is between easy and medium. Let's face it, you're getting this game because you either 1. Really like jigsaw puzzles, or 2. Need to chill out. This game does its job in both categories really well. The story alongside the puzzles is one of fantasy and imagination, laid out in a children's book style with fun art by Bogdan Antoci. - The puzzle pieces are fixed in place, meaning you don't have to turn them. - There are multiple sizes and three styles of puzzle piece (standard puzzle, sharp edgy bits, and square), alongside 18 different puzzles. On top of THAT there's a normal chill mode and a challenge beat-the-clock mode. So yeah, the game is easily replayable. - The story jumps from place to place and I'm a little confused about the ending, but there are more My Jigsaw Adventures games in the future so who knows where the story might go next, or if there's a new story altogether?! - There's a dragon! A DRAGON!!! - Music is as awesome as the art. Each puzzle has its own song. - The art, once you beat the puzzles, can be downloaded off the gallery. In summary, if you really dig puzzles, you're stressed to tatters by the world, or you're bored and want something to do, there is absolutely no harm in getting Roads of Life. It's completely worth the 5 buck price-tag and offers art, story, music, and flavor to the world.
