1001 Jigsaw World Tour Africa

"1001 Jigsaw. World Tour: Africa" 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.shutterstock.com/image-photo/coconut-leaves-flower-on-grey-wooden-124333558]"Coconut Leaves Flower On Grey Wooden Background"[/url], stolen and used without any apparent permissions or rights from the stock image site, ShutterStock. 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 Steam [i]a lot[/i]. The developer, Creobit/8…

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

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…

If you like jigsaw puzzles, this "1001 Jigsaw World Tour" series is a solid product. Most of my comments about this particular offering, "Africa", hold for the other games in the series. Pros: The pictures really are high quality. There are [i]lots[/i] of puzzles, easily 100 hours of puzzling. You can adjust several difficulty parameters for each puzzle (number of pieces, distinctiveness of piece shape, and whether pieces rotate) to make it easy enough for a 4-year-old or a rewarding challenge for an adult. There are several optional convenience features, like automatically sorting out the border pieces, or overlaying a ghost image of the picture on the playing surface, should you choose to use them. Cons (all minor): There isn't enough room to spread out the pieces of 175-220 piece puzzle. Why should the in-computer table top be less convenient than working on physical puzzles? The game doesn't give you enough time to admire the finished puzzles. It pulses a few pieces for 2 seconds then automatically moves on to the scoring screen. It would be nice if it held the picture until you clicked to move on. One specific comment about the "Africa" version. Unlike some of the oth…

i love everything about this game.
