For some reason, I didn't have the "brush" issue that others have mentioned and I was grateful. But the story telling kept getting cut off and yes, I like story lines. Very frustrating to have the girls voice get cut off before she finished talking.
Also, agree that the colors were very close a lot of times, but I chose to use that as a challenge.
The music drove me nuts after awhile, but I just turned it off.
After playing so many "Penguin" games with no story line and basic graphic images popping in to fill whatever location the penguins are, I'm done with those. And having no new "Rainbow Mosaic" games to play, I found this a pleasant diversion.
I recommend it, but always play first to see if it makes you happy. It did me.

Wake a sleepy butler who then has to tackle the garden weeds? Looked in the guide and was told to hang the charm and press squares (n). Picture had no "n." Needed "helper" to put the charm together. Only HO I played had me take a knife to a watermelon to retrieve an 8 ball and then put an axe together to find emblem for shield. I usually love to put things together to use on something else, but either I was tired or these just didn't make sense. Don't like games where you have to repeat sequences - so dull.
Only played 20 minutes before I was totally bored, irritated with game.

If they would take all these beautiful pictures and put them into another release of Jigsaw Galore, I'd be a happy camper. This game lets you edit puzzles by increasing number of pieces, style of piece and choose rotate or not. It does not, like Jigsaw Galore, let you choose what size the pieces can be. This puzzle is hard on my eyes, whereas I can enlarge Jigsaw Galore.
Music distracting for me.
I hope that if I keep reviewing these other jigsaw games and comparing to Jigsaw Galore, Bigfish will make me happy and release new pictures in a new Jigsaw Galore.
My recommendation of this game is because you should try for yourself, not because I'm going to purchase.

I gave the demo 12 minutes. Noise drove me nuts. Not finding anything to put out fire quickly so stupid. This one not for me, but definitely try demo for yourself.
I don't recommend this game.

I agree with gfehse 100%. I finished the demo, looked to see if any reviews and when there weren't, bought it anyway. Something I've never done before.

Certainly not Jigsaw Galore. I played the original Jigsaw World and loved it. That's because "Galore" wasn't out yet. I only wish there would be another release of Jigsaw Galore with more pictures. It's a great game.
The light flashing when pieces connect and the music are off putting for me.
As always try the demo yourself.

Really disliked the giggling angel helper who came out of nowhere. No relevance to story.
Map with no action highlights, why bother. Oh right, just for jumping to a spot if you could remember where you needed to go.
Story line was intriguing, except as said by one other reviewer, I saved someone only for Death to take her.
Usually I can intuitively play games, but this one I kept hitting the hint button to find out where to go next. Once there, I could figure things out, but way too much running around.
I won't buy this game, but try it out for yourself.

Pennmom said most of what I like, so won't repeat. Fun game, love the music, great graphics. Haven't played this type of match 3 before and I had a blast. So surprised when demo was over.
Off to buy/use free code.

Game just OK. My biggest complaint about all devs (not just this dev) is the cut scenes where they explain what's happening with the town/forest/whatever and they use drawings that are barely developed. Sketches that are probably developed more for the main part of the game, but look like they don't want to waste the time for the explanation part of the game. Maybe use a journal instead.
Game was interesting - but I just couldn't get interested enough. Wish I could yell out the specific reason, but just can't. The hint system was great, looked at the guide which has promise if you use it. Doesn't follow your pace though.
The map transported you, but if you hit the hint button when you got to a place where there was an action, the hint button sent you somewhere else. Thought that was odd.
Not for me, but try the demo and decide for yourself.

OMG. Like another reviewer, I couldn't believe my hour demo was over. On my way to buy with a couple of other CE's I don't own yet, decided to submit my review.
This game kept me totally, I need to shout it - TOTALLY - enthralled. So much to look for. I only found one card and one bobble headed doll, but was doing good on the pound notes. Love the interactive HOS and the games are awesome.
Love the map, needed the Guide a couple of times and it stays with you, can't wait to play the solitaire game, if I ever find enough cards, and see what I can get for Isis the cat.
Everyone else has covered the technical details beautifully, but did want to repeat that I was fascinated to see there are 5, count them, 5 different levels of play.
Couple of times, the story made me jump in my chair and I loved it.
Thanks to the great combo of BF and EG, this is a wonderful game.
