I LOVE the video puzzles included in this game. Beautifully challenging and a lot of fun. I will never get tired of these. Please MORE. I love jigsaw puzzles generally, particularly swaps, but these moving ones are a whole new level.
I recommend this game!

This is a great game. I love that the variety of play is extensive, meaning different rules pop up at different times for making your words, and only one level out of five is timed. The time limit I found to be generous. As for the rules, I found it great that sometimes only 3-letter words do damage to the monsters, or that only 5 or more letters do damage, or that words containing E will do no damage, or only words leading with a vowel. All sorts of rules apply, differing according to which monster you face. It's fun. Adding to the incentive to get more imaginative, some of the letters are more valuable than others and do more damage.
Coming back at you are assorted negative tiles, spiked, broken or stone, to name a few, mixed in with ordinary tiles. You have all the time you want to work out what words you can make and use, working around or with whatever limitations and advantages there are. Also you can up your stats and improve your weapon and armor.
Overall it's a fun game and addictive and makes you think. I really enjoy it.
I recommend this game!
Spellspire is a thrilling mashup of word game and action role playing game. Pick letters from a grid to spell words and shoot them from your wand as spells. The longer the word, the bigger the blast!

This is a fun, clever game that's quite addictive. As you go, you level up your skills using wands, coats and hats, plus you can boost your basic stats, like life level and strength. There is a book that tells you about the monsters you meet and what you need to defeat them, which is very handy.
As you work your way up the tower you'll bump into boss levels that are too hard to beat at first, but that's okay because you can go back down the tower and replay levels to increase your money to buy better equipment. Going for that star level really helps too as each gives you a good bonus.
Sometimes a level can be passed simply by paying attention to the kit you are wearing and changing it to something more suitable (with skills better to the situation). Generally things get easier as you go, as you skill up and gain more money each round to save for those improvements.
I really enjoy this game, I go back to it again and again. The top of the tower is different and great. Love it.
I recommend this game!

I absolutely love this game! Not just jigsaw puzzles, but swap pieces, split tiles and tile rotation, each with not only different sizes to choose from, but added levels of difficulty you can add to each puzzle. Explore, you'll see what I mean.
The pictures are gorgeous! The music is great (I love a good soundtrack), which definitely pulls me into the fantasy theme.
They intended users to be able to add their own pictures too, and that function doesn't work at all, actually it dumps me out of the game when I try it, but it is meant to be there and I am sure they will fix that issue and update it. Frankly it makes no difference to me as the existing pictures are so beautiful, and the game itself plays flawlessly.
I seriously hope more like this will come along. I will definitely buy more of this type. I just can't leave the game alone, I play it daily. It's just so nice to work on, play with and relax with something so beautiful.
I love it. I have many jigsaw puzzle games, and this one shot straight to the top of my list.
I recommend this game!
Take an inspiring trip through history!

I LOVE this game. It's gentle, relaxing (no timer), challenging (though has a skip button for the harder puzzles), has beautiful pictures, lovely music and wonderful, wonderful quotes from the Bible, telling the story of Jesus. You get to collect angels along the way - one hidden somewhere in each chapter (each chapter has four puzzles, not the same each time. There is good variety here).
For me, it's a game I can play over and over, at my own pace. It makes me think both logically and spiritually, and I really like that.
I am very happy with the Collector's Edition. I already have the next one, which is the story of Moses. I hope there will be more.
I recommend this game!
Enjoy a classic detective atmosphere while completing hundreds of challenging puzzles. Each jigsaw draws you right into the whodunit atmosphere.

500 puzzles is quite a lot in any game, I don't know what others are complaining about. Not all catch my eye, true enough, but there are some BEAUTIFUL puzzles in here, enough of them to have me buy this.
I like the way it handles. LOVE the music. You can change the number of pieces and choose to rotate the pieces or not. For me nothing else is important and I see no reason to detract from 5 stars over things that don't matter to me.
I could also scroll through the pages back and forth no problem. It did not get stuck for me after page 5 as someone else experienced. Best bet is to try for yourself and see if the game appeals to you personally.
I recommend this game!

After heavier, timed or dashing games, it's good to sit back with something a bit easier-going, but still challenging to a degree. I don't mind limited moves, especially when they are as generous as you get here (so far at least, I have not yet completed the 200 or so levels).
As with many games, a lot of reviews seem overly harsh to me. It's a GAME. Try it first. If you like it, get it, if not then don't. This game struck me as gentle, cute, doable and a nice change from all the rough and tumble of other games. I bought it for the change of pace and for the shift in thinking needed - nothing difficult, just different.
I recommend this game!

This really is a PUZZLE BOX - a box full of many many puzzles. Lots of games, huge variation, and lots of each type. A true treasure trove of goodies and well worth having. Certainly worth exploring to see for yourself. There's something here for everyone - there's literally many years worth of fun here and I find myself drawn back to it again and again.
I recommend this game!

After reading some of the reviews I expected this game to be somewhat bland, but instead found it a treasure. There are delightful surprises in the gameplay that I really enjoyed.
I played the demo in limited moves and found that you seem to get three stars when everything flows well and you make matches quickly. I got two 3 stars in the half an hour I played. The number of stars I get doesn't bother me though, so it doesn't worry me one way or the other.
The game handled well, I enjoyed the music and the game itself, and I want to play more. I will definitely buy this game in my next splurge (likely next BOGO).
I recommend this game!

This is now my number one jigsaw puzzle game. LOVE it. 16 different shapes to choose from, huge trays, and control over everything from rotation, number of pieces, zoom, music and sound effects. The maximum size is limited to (I think) 400 pieces - I'm still exploring - but I find that plenty and usually play in the middle range. Huge jigsaws on a computer screen usually mean tiny little pieces, which takes the fun out of it for me, so I never play large jigsaws on the computer anyway.
I hope this is the beginning of a series. I will buy them all. I trialed this one for all of five minutes, barely started my first puzzle and new I wanted it. Bought it straight away.
Puzzle Vacations: Ireland is perfect. The pieces come together well, the music is absolutely beautiful and relaxing. The pictures are beautiful. I would give it ten stars if I could.
I recommend this game!
