Puzzle Mania Demo

Jigsaw puzzles are not as popular as they used to be, given the fact that most people are more likely to use a smartphone or tablet to enjoy games nowadays. However, they still have their charm, and there are people who prefer the old-school method. Naturally, jigsaws have made their way onto computers as well, and there are actually hundreds of variants to choose from.

Puzzle Mania is a straightforward jigsaw puzzle game in which you have to reconstruct images piece-by-piece as quickly as you can. Although there are no world-changing mechanics to set the game apart from every other title out there, at least you are able to customize the difficulty level a bit and change things around in case you find the puzzles too easy or too hard.

To begin with, it’s possible to choose from a list of pre-made puzzles, each one of which features anything from 20 to over 500 pieces, depending on your preferences. However, that is not all, because you can also generate your own puzzles using the desired images. The generator is not quite done yet, but it certainly gets the job done if you are not too picky.

As mentioned before, you can change a few things about the puzzles in order to make them easier or tougher. Hence, it’s possible to enable or disable the piece rotation gimmick, which means that you do not have to worry about the pieces being properly oriented. You can also disable the background preview, which makes it significantly harder to get ahead of yourself or cheat your way through the puzzles.

In terms of interface, everything is kept as simple as possible, except that it may take you a while to figure out the controls. Hence, not all the pieces are visible on the screen when you start a new puzzle, but you can zoom in or out of the picture to fix that. You can also pan around and focus on specific corners of an image, just in case you do not want to have the full thing in view at all times.

In the end, the generator is the only interesting component of Puzzle Mania, but not even that is finished at this point. However, you can still have some fun with the game, especially if you are not looking for something too complex.
