Pixel Puzzles 2: Halloween

While this jigsaw solving game is not bad, there is no real reason for it to exist due the fact that Pixel Puzzles Ultimate is a thing and it is better than this game in every way. The main 2 things that I am missing that PPU has is: - the ability to see a small preview of the image you are putting together - the option to turn off the pieces floating There is 25 jigsaw puzzles to solve (+1 extra) between 60 and 350 pieces (average of 145 pieces per puzzle) so they are pretty small, but the lack of image makes it a bit more challenging. The images are pretty decent and good for a jigsaw puzzle. So all in all it not great, but still a decent puzzle experience especially if bought on a good sale. But it should really just be PPU DLC instead of a standalone game. Works without any issues on Linux with Proton (7.0-6).

When I finally completed this game a sudden horrifying feeling crept over me as I had come to realise that there was NO STEAM BADGE! Also some of the images were low res and the music was annoying but the shocker at the end there got me good.

Do you want some halloween themed fun and achievements? This game has you covered, and at a real bargain.

It is another puzzle sim on the Pixel Puzzles 2 engine. This one is based around that heretical celebration or something. The main problem is that half the pictures are just ugly. If it was released today, you would claim it's AI generated. There's no 4:3 support in a stupid 1d game, so i cannot have a tray, which is not working in widescreen. They game runs in letterboxed just fine. Achievements are working. I actually don't like a half of these pictures.

As good as the other jigsaw puzzles from the pixel puzzle group. The only complaint I have is there is no base picture to work from. The only option provided is a ghost picture overlay which requires continually clicking the button to keep on the screen and feels a lot like cheating.
