1001 Jigsaw Castles And Palaces

1001 Jigsaw Castles And Palaces 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 "borrowed" uncredited/plagiarised artwork is [url=https://www.freepik.com/premium-photo/colorful-mosaic-windows-doors-rajasthan_32732664.htm]"Colorful mosaic windows and doors in rajasthan"[/url], taken from "mbpikoso". Sure, the image rights may allow the stock image to be used without credit, but claiming credit for the work of others, as is happening here, is unethical. 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 Steam [i]a lot[/i]. The developer, Creobit/8Floor, has copy + pasted this game an insane SEVENTY SIX TIMES onto Steam with minor reskins... why cash in on one asset if you can cash in on multiple copies of the same game? Asset flipping begins at home!…

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…

Decent game. Lots of different puzzles. In-game achievements.

Good, with the expected jigsaw mechanics. One caveat - you need to run it on 1280 x 960 resolution. To change your screen resolution on Windows 10, go to Start, Settings, System, Display, then select from the resolution dropdown.

Having to decide which way up the pieces go makes you think. To me that adds to the quality of the game.
