1001 Jigsaw. World Tour: Great America

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: Great America 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.dreamstime.com/royalty-free-stock-photo-miss-liberty-image18120355]"Miss Liberty"[/url], stolen and used without any apparent permissions or rights from the photographer, Marcel Schauer. 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/8Floor, has copy + pasted this game an ins…

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…

I know it sounds absurd, but this puzzle game got me right in the American feels. Yeah, it's likely a lot of nicely curated stock photos, but so what? That's literally what stock photos are meant for. Music is pretty, and our fondness of all things American is clearly highlighted. Yes, we really do love ourselves and each other this much, we just forget sometimes. Anyhow, prepare to see everything from bald eagles, cougars and wolves to cities to food. A little something for everyone and the love for the LGBT community was a nice touch. Is it a bit bombastic and over the top to put a bald eagle in front of the flag? Yeah, but this is about America and we do loud and proud quite well, thank you. Honestly, this game just is America in puzzle form. Some of the parts make no sense until you think about them. But that is us. The music reminds me of the speech from Independence Day, so well done!

Excellent puzzle subjects!
