Severely broken game. Had problems multiple times with save games in hardest and second hardest (chess and normal). In addition unable to investigate what is going in the save file because the json is encrypted, so editing the json file does not work - like can be done in "Daylife in Japan." In addition - if you zoomed in - it would sometimes hang loosing your progress completely. Sad because I rather liked the puzzles and the theme. One positive thing to note: I was able to get all the achievements with the lower complexity, non-problematic puzzles. Old Review: Fun jigsaw puzzle with a wild west theme, where you can connect pieces to each other as well as to frame. In this case there are 6 puzzles with 2 different styles and 4 different sizes for each. The 2 styles are somewhat chess shaped pieces and "normal" jigsaw pieces.

Started a 500-piece puzzle with rotation on... Immediately had a piece snap to the wrong side of another piece, impossible to take them apart, puzzle ruined. Good thing it was two edge pieces so I could tell right away...

It's alright. Simple jigsaw puzzle game. The chess pieces option is weird as hell, tho.

I didn't even get through the first puzzle before the game locked some pieces together that didn't match up :( The only way to get them apart again was to restart. Another thing is that I kept moving the board slightly whenever I flipped a piece. I don't see why they would make that the same button. The game looked and sounded neat, but I'm not gonna play a chill game if it annoys me :(
