LineArt Jigsaw Puzzle - Airplanes

LineArt Jigsaw Puzzle - Airplanes is a compact and deliberately straightforward puzzle experience built around one clear idea: reconstructing hand-drawn illustrations of aircraft. Rather than surrounding its jigsaw mechanics with progression systems or unnecessary distractions, it concentrates on visual recognition and leisurely puzzle solving. Developed by LineArtBabe and published by DIG Publishing, the game contains 12 airplane illustrations presented as 6 x 6 jigsaw puzzles. Its restrained scope immediately establishes what kind of experience this is meant to be: something relaxing enough for short sessions while still demanding a reasonable amount of concentration. The line-art approach is what gives the puzzles their individual character. Traditional jigsaws often rely heavily on colors, gradients, scenery, and textures that make particular pieces relatively easy to identify. Here, the illustrations are composed primarily around outlines and aircraft details against smooth backgrounds. That reduces the number of obvious visual clues available to the player. Two pieces that initially appear almost interchangeable can contain subtle differences in the curvature of a fuselage, …

LineArt Jigsaw Puzzle - Airplanes is a jigsaw puzzle game. The game is yet another game from the same maker/engine as hundreds of those other similar games, only this one is about airplanes. It has to be one of the worst ones, considering the background is pure black with white outlines, half the pieces are pure black (they become totally invisible when moving them over the board!) and the rest is just white traced lines. That makes the puzzles extremely frustrating to do and turn it into a game of trial and error more than anything. As usual not much originality with those games, the same music that is reused countless times, all similar puzzles, the same bug of levels completing in batch of two, the same annoying pixel-perfect precision needed to connect pieces and even a misaligned puzzle board. Overall, a poor puzzle experience and (despite the developer's comment on another review) the pieces and the backgrounds are still pure black on black.

[h1][b]Short Plane Themed Jigsaw Puzzle Game[/b][/h1] [h3][b]What this game is:[/b][/h3] A simple jigsaw puzzle game. [h3] [b]How does it work?[/b][/h3] The game has 12 Black & White jigsaw puzzles you have to complete in order to finish the game (and get your 3 achievements). Each puzzle image depicts a sketched plane model. You basically have to pick and place the pieces in the assembly area. [h3] [b]How does it perform?[/b][/h3] It works as it should. Pretty basic play, accompanied by some loud music. Controls are basic, clicking the pieces is not extremely precise but functional. [h3] [b]The good:[/b][/h3] The game works as it should, it is easy and intuitive, any kid would not have any trouble playing it. Takes less than 100 MB on your HD, and will run on your toaster. There are 3 easy Achievements. No real bugs I could detect. [h3] [b]The bad:[/b][/h3] Its replay value is very limited. Once you have gone through the proposed pictures, there is nothing more to it. Each puzzle has about the same level of difficulty than the others, which is quite low. There are no controls, meaning you cannot adjust the music as you would wish or tweak the brightness of the B&W…

This game is really bad. Black background, white airplanes - really?

This pales in comparison to jigidi. There are actually just 12 puzzles and they are ridiculously simple, but on a terrible background, you can't zoom in and out of it or move it around, so all your pieces spawn in the middle and you first have to move everything off, then it's stupid easy because there's only 2 shapes for the inner part.

I don't care about aeroplanes, but I liked the line art jigsaw puzzles from these people in the past, so for $0.75 I gave it a try. I found it much harder than their other puzzles, taking nearly twice as long to complete. My eyes were really straining with the black-on-black background. I'd really love it if these guys would give an option to change the background colour. Even making it a little bit lighter would help you when placing the pure black pieces.
