Jigsaw Boom

Jigsaw Boom 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.istockphoto.com/photo/for-rent-gm140464657-3375794?phrase=beach+hut+hammock]"Exotic Beach Hut On Tropical Beach"[/url], stolen and used without any apparent permissions or rights from iStockPhoto/Ersler Photography. 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.

I can't say every image was my personal cup of tea, but it's nice to see them try something different for once. Well done!

Another time killer game. Just something to do for fun.
