1001 Jigsaw. World Tour: Australian Puzzles

This publisher 8floor managed to arranged 1 card game and then copy-paste it with different sfx, wallpapers and made 200+ games.

1001 Jigsaw. World Tour: Australian Puzzles is a basic browser/Flash/mobile-app like jigsaw puzzle game. Solve various jigsaw puzzles made up from images that the "developer" stole off the Internet and used without crediting the actual creators, making this plagiarism, as well as an asset flip and a cash grab. An example of the stolen, uncredited/plagiarised artwork is [url=https://www.istockphoto.com/photo/gateway-bridge-in-brisbane-queensland-gm475832856-65588689?phrase=gateway+bridge+in+brisbane+queensland]"Gateway Bridge in Queensland"[/url], stolen and used without any apparent permissions or rights from iStockPhoto/Robert Downer (photographer). Sure, the image rights may allow some stock images to be used without credit (although there's no reason to believe so in this case), and claiming credit for the work of others, as is happening here, is unethical, and the creative and intellectual bankruptcy going on here is unacceptable. So what we have here is a basic jigsaw puzzle engine that's been skinned with a bunch of photos stolen off the internet and used without attribution. The icing on the cake is the "developer" here has copy + pasted + reskinned this same asset onto…

1001 Jigsaw. World Tour: Australian Puzzles is a relaxing digital jigsaw collection designed for players who enjoy traditional puzzle solving without unnecessary complications. Developed by Somer Games and published by 8floor, it takes the established jigsaw formula and builds an Australian travel theme around it. Rather than relying on a story or complex progression system, the game concentrates on assembling photographs at your own pace, making it particularly suitable for quiet gaming sessions. The collection contains 500 photographs inspired by Australia. Its imagery covers recognizable landscapes, architecture, wildlife, monuments, traditions, cuisine, art, and other subjects connected to the country. Familiar Australian animals such as kangaroos and koalas naturally contribute to the selection, but the collection extends beyond wildlife. Moving from one photograph to another creates a modest virtual-tour atmosphere, although the experience should primarily be considered a puzzle collection rather than an educational travel game. One of its strongest features is the freedom to customize puzzle difficulty. Players can adjust important characteristics such as the number of pie…

I'm playing Steam Games in alphabetical order and you can watch my review here: https://youtu.be/cYU4960afKg Prefer to read? This is one of 52 games in 8floor's "1001 Jigsaw" series that are basically a copy/pasted slop fest. Every game is nigh identical, with the only difference being the images used to create the jigsaw puzzles, all of which have been lifted without crediting the artists from various sites such as rgbstock, Unsplash and even Shutterstock. While technically not illegal, it's incredibly inconsiderate considering that these "games" wouldn't be anything without the images these artists provide. From a technical standpoint the game meets the absolute basics in terms of UI and mechanics. The looping music will make you irritated rather than relaxed, but the most frustrating element is that the cursor is misaligned in almost every game, resulting in numerous misclicks. I was also immensely disappointed by the lack of a single jigsaw puzzle with 1001 pieces in ANY of these games. Most importantly though, they recently INCREASED the price of many of their games, to nearly triple the original price. Because they feel comfortable selling a copy/pasted game, they'll be rec…

There's a bajillion of the same game with slightly different pictures. It's weird and overpriced, but based on my notes - I enjoyed putting puzzle pieces into puzzle spaces.
