Animated Jigsaws is a jigsaw puzzle game with video instead of pictures. “Beautiful Japanese Scenery” contains moving images from Japanese famous places including Mt. Fuji, Kyoto, Tokyo, the Snow Monkeys in a natural hot spring and more!
The developers have crafted a unique twist on the traditional jigsaw puzzle by incorporating animated elements into the scenes. Players piece together puzzles of famous Japanese locations, such as Mount Fuji and the bustling streets of Tokyo, and watch as clouds drift, water ripples, and even city lights shift from day to night. This animation adds an extra layer of challenge and immersion, as players must consider the movement of elements when determining where puzzle pieces belong.
The puzzle pieces themselves are designed with larger connectors and varied shapes, including curved and angled edges. This intuitive piece construction allows players to solve the puzzles by identifying the correct position of each piece based on its physical attributes, rather than solely relying on the visual cues of the image. Additionally, the ability to connect pieces together before placing them in the puzzle helps minimize mistakes and frustration.
Each of the 10 available puzzles can be played at three different levels of complexity, ranging from 60 to 350 pieces. This flexible difficulty scaling enables players to start with more manageable puzzles and gradually work their way up to the more challenging 350-piece versions. Reviewers note that the higher piece counts, combined with the animated elements, can create a significant increase in difficulty, providing a satisfying sense of progression.
Despite the added complexity of the animated puzzles, many players describe the overall experience as calming and enjoyable. The beautiful Japanese-inspired scenery and soothing background music contribute to the relaxing atmosphere, while the unique puzzle mechanics and unlockable content maintain an engaging gameplay loop. The ability to save progress and return to a puzzle at a later time is also widely praised.
One common critique expressed by reviewers is the relatively limited number of available puzzles. While the multiple difficulty levels for each scene add some replayability, some players wish the game offered a greater variety of locations and themes to piece together.
