From early childhood right through to adulthood we love to play with puzzles. We like the way they challenge our thinking and exercise our minds.
Puzzles are also an important educational learning tool for toddlers and young children as they provide many skills and mental learning benefits and opportunities.
COGNITIVE SKILLS:
Puzzles come in a whole range of themes and topics such as alphabet letters, shapes, vegetables, numbers, pets, transport and colours. It increases their visual spacial awareness and develops a deeper understanding of these themes and topics. All children learn differently and puzzles may be their medium for grasping an understanding of certain themes such as alphabet letters.PROBLEM SOLVING:
Completing a puzzle, even the most simplest of puzzles sets a single goal to achieve. Toddlers and children must think and develop strategies on how to approach in achieving this goal. This process involves problem solving, reasoning skills and developing solutions which they can later be transferred into their personal/adult life.FINE MOTOR DEVELOPMENT:
Puzzles are a fun way for children to develop and refine their fine motor skills. When engaged in playing with puzzles, children are required to pick up, pinch and grasp pieces (some with small knobs, pegs or chunky pieces) and move them around, manipulating them into slots, sorting them and fitting them into the correct places.HAND AND EYE COORDINATION:
Playing with puzzles requires a trial and error process which involves a lot of hand and eye manipulation. For example, as a toddler or child places a piece of the puzzle that does not fit, they will try all over again where their actions involve doing what they actually see.SOCIAL:
Puzzles are a great educational tool to enhance and promote cooperative play. As kids work together to complete a puzzle, they will discuss where a piece should go and why, take turns and share and support each other when handling frustration, then sharing the joy of finishing the puzzle.SELF ESTEEM:
The accomplishment of achieving a goal brings so much satisfaction to a child. Overcoming the challenges involved in solving a puzzle really gives them a sense of achievement and pride within themselves. It provides a boost to their self-confidence and self-esteem as this prepares them for other challenges in life.Puzzles are a fun educational toy that challenges young minds, teaching and preparing them early in life some very important life skills.

Jigsaw Puzzles (AKA Watercolor Jigsaw Puzzles) is another asset flip from the shady "developers" at Boogeygames, who continually steal the work of others (game demos and asset packs), change the name of them, and put them on Steam as a cash grab/scam, trying to get YOUR money for someone else's work! And it's not okay!
So today they've ripped off a very basic jigsaw puzzle game template, and stole some images from the internet, put the two together (probably took less than an afternoon for this one) and dumped it on Steam to try con gamers into paying for this trash.
Boogygames Studios have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab, through this account or through closely linked/alt accounts. Here's some examples so you can see for yourself:
- "Case Simulator Weapons and Armors" = Yet Another Case Opener developed by NeraQuam
- "Color By Number - Pixel Draw" = Pixel Art: Color By Number developed by Moana Studio
- "Pixel Art Monster - Color By Number" = Pixel Art: Color By Number developed by Moana Studio
[*] "Rainbow Duck" = Switch The Gravity developed by App Advisory
Taking this shovelware seriously as if it was a genuine attempt to make a game, it doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard.
There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics.
The game itself, as a basic jigsaw, it just the kind of thing you expect to see in browser/flash games, and hardly belongs on Steam.
The poor quality of this game is reflected in the general public reception. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 3 players. That's right, only 3. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in the game is to be expected. Gamers just didn't take this low quality game seriously, and for good reason.
Jigsaw Puzzles is relatively cheap at $2 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend.
I already reviewed another puzzle game from the same author ("Cabins: Jigsaw Puzzles"), so I'm gonna copy paste the points that seems relevant to this game too and add new one when appropriated.
Positives+++
(same points)
+You can select a group of pieces to move them all somewhere else at the same time
+Snapping sound is ok
+When you snap there is a visual cue to let you know those 2 pieces has snapped together which I think is a good idea for people who can't hear the clicking sound!
+I like that you can click once, move the mouse with your piece stick to the mouse pointer or click, hold and drag a piece. I would have put an option to enable/disable it though for those that don't want to have the click without holding feature.
+I like the shape of the puzzle pieces
+Visually, puzzle pieces have a nice shadow making them look very real
+There is a shadow when moving pieces around
+Accuracy to pick up the pieces is on point! <3
(new points)
+Puzzles shapes are fun to place on the board
+I like that all of them are paintings/drawings. I think that most of the images have nice elements that makes them fun to solve.

~Some of the images could benefit from having their color adjust a bit to be more vibrant.

-F12 to take Steam print screen doesn't work.
-Puzzles doesn't save when you quit the game and start it again.
-You need to select a puzzle from a Steam menu and quit the game to select another puzzle. It would be much better with an in-game menu.
-No achievements
-Snapping is a bit too short so that sometimes I have to pick and drop multiple time for my pieces to snap. There is no option to change that either.
-No sound setting
-No settings to change the number of pieces by puzzle. Each puzzle only has a fix number of pieces and you can't change it making this game having little replayability.
-I wish that there was an option to enable dragging instead of having it by default when you click on the background because sometimes I miss-click a piece of puzzle just a little bit and then the dragging occurs.

-Contrary to his successor "Cabins: Jigsaw Puzzles", this one doesn't indicate how many pieces a puzzle has. It wouldn't take much time to update this older game if the code has already been written for more recent games. I think it is nice when a developer take the time to update his older games.
-Puzzle pieces are not shuffled. Each time you enter a puzzle they are displayed in the same position.
-This is a big downer: each puzzle used the same puzzle pieces. Add that to the fact that every puzzle begins with their pieces in the same position and it's like you are doing the same puzzle all over again almost exactly the same way :O! I got curious to see if this has changed in the most recent game "Cabins: Jigsaw Puzzles" but it's the same! (At least the Cabin game has a different number of puzzle pieces, but each 70 pieces puzzle, for example, still begin with the pieces layed out exactly the same and all the pieces shapes are also the same ..).
-The game is quite short. I timed myself doing a puzzle and it takes about 3min to complete a 48 piece puzzle. With 16 different images it would only take 48 minutes to complete them all once. Since there is no setting to change the number of pieces, there is little replayability. Even if the game is cheap, I think it's too short.
Conclusion
There is 16 available 48 pieces paintings/drawings to solve. The puzzle shapes and the snapping are satisfying. Discovering that there is only 1 cut of puzzle and that each puzzle have the same numbers of pieces and use the same puzzle cut is a disappointment leading me to not recommend this game. It's also pretty short (under 50minutes to finish all puzzles).
its very bad get the 5 dollor one instead
Simple, cute puzzles for young audiences.
Definitely worth the low price to keep kids entertained without worrying about lost puzzle pieces.
Pros:
- Has a system where if you click and drag you can select multiple pieces to move at once.
- Automatically moves all connected pieces together once you have connected them and are trying to move them.
- There is a picture available showing what the puzzle looks like once completed. You are able to easily change it's size, and move it around the screen.
Cons:
- Each puzzle is seperate: once you complete one, you must exit and then press "play" again from your library, selecting a new puzzle from the list. This might have been done to avoid lag by not having too much 'happening' at once.
- Extremely simple puzzles, all seem to have the same size and rough number of pieces so there aren't harder ones as you go along.
You only get 1 puzzle?
A good time killer
