i’ve been playing this game for a whole night, and my parents were screaming at me for whatever reason. they kept knocking on my door, asking if everything was all right because i wasn’t saying a word, nor did i unlock my door or leave my room, but clearly everything was fine because i was wisely spending my time by playing Gnome Jigsaw Puzzles. i think i’m starting to hear voices in my head and police sirens outside, but that probably doesn’t have anything to do with this beautiful game

Little Mouse’s Encyclopedia
I was conflicted on this one, whether to give a positive review or not.
First the positive notes: this is a nice educational program that helps to fill the gaps in the basics of flora and fauna.
I learned a lot of things I didn’t know, so I’m satisfied with that part of the “game”.
The graphics is fine and also the sounds, which really put you in the atmosphere of the forest, field, pond and garden.
So what is the problem? The problem is that this is not a game, lol.
This is an educational application, mostly for kids. It doesn’t offer anything else but reading.

I’ve got the game for my kid and he enjoyed it a lot. We first bought it on App Store but then I bought it here on Steam specifically to leave a review, so that games like this get better traction. If you’re a happy owner like me, I do encourage you to also support the developer in this way.
What I love about this game? It’s like a small encyclopaedia, making discovery of new facts easy and fun. I’m so, so tired of commercial mainstream “games for kids” that mostly exploit the love of children to the brands and characters already established in film/TV. Here, the game is like an open book inviting your kids to play with it in a variety of ways, always learning in the process.

Kombi Travels - Jigsaw Landscapes
I really enjoyed playing this game. Since jigsaw games is something I like playing that helps me feel relaxed. And very helpful when my mental health isn’t feeling good.

The art of this game is very beautiful, the relaxing atmosphere is very pleasant.

Under Leaves
Under Leaves is a hidden Object game pure and simple. On a map of the world you are given many different locations, each location is a different stage to complete all related to different animals indigenous to the location on the map. Each stage is beautifully crafted. A real work of love! The fact that each level has a certain color scheme give it a certain style but also makes it surprisingly challenging, just enough to keep my interest through the whole game.
Pros
- For those who likes the extra challenge, there’s 29 achievements. One for each stage and one extra for finishing the game without help.

Relaxation Mode is cranked up to 11 in this simplistic watercolour hidden object game.
You start off on a world map with 21 dotted circles on it. Each level is associated with an animal from that region, and as you complete the levels the map gradually fills with pictures of these animals.
You’re introduced to a level by clicking the X on the central animal, which then shows you a speech bubble containing several small icons of the objects you’re looking for (small animals, seeds, fish etc), and the number of items to be found. The overall canvas is split between 3-5 screens, and as you find/click the objects you move on to the next either via the white arrows, or by dragging. You can zoom in and out by double-clicking and then drag the screen around to inspect each area of the panel. When you find the final item you then report back to the main animal whereupon there’s a very short animation of baby animals appearing, plants growing or a shoal of fish swimming by. And that, ladies and gentlemen, describes the entire game.

Sky Journey - Jigsaw Landscapes
Simple little jigsaw puzzle game that I actually found very addictive once I had started; playing this while listening to podcasts helped me to unwind and it distracted me from the existential dread of existence. Few minor bugs but nothing that halts progress. Great to play when you’re slumped in a heap and only want to exert the energy of moving one hand. Recommended.

In essence this is a puzzle game for the younger gamers.
The images are of the family friendly variety.
The art itself is not bad.
Several difficulty choices.
Music is alright.
Due to lack of puzzle “levels” I would only recommend on a steep discount. Got this game with a bundle myself.
As a challenge for myself, in progress of 100% the achievements as of posting of this review.

Alba: A Wildlife Adventure
Alba: A Wildlife Adventure is a heart-warming adventure that is one of the best casual games I have played this year. Play as Alba, the young girl as she goes to visit her grandparents on an island where the mayor wishes to build a hotel. Alba and her friend want to help preserve the nature instead. Through her kind actions, Alba seeks to collect signatures from the locals to convince the mayor to change his mind.

Quaint game with a purpose and a message.
Would be good to play with young children (so you can explain some of the situations and language to young kids- teens will “get it” without help IMHO).
English translation is quite good, though some knowledge of Spanish helps.
Some minor issues with getting stuck in terrain. If this happens, load your save, and once in the save where you are stuck, go to the main menu, and into settings. There is a “reset Alba’s position” button that will reset here to a spawn point (not where you are stuck, which seems to happen most often at the Castle- but at the start point for the day, no progress lost, just a bit of travel needed to get back to where you were).

Animated Puzzles
Animated Puzzles is an enjoyable game for all levels- ranging from an easy puzzle with only a few pieces to 800+ pieces. Each puzzle has a “pull out” tray which stores the unplaced pieces but it still allows you to lay pieces onto the puzzle “board” without placing them, which is similar to a real jigsaw puzzle.
This game allows the player to choose from many included puzzles (several levels of difficulty), plus the workshop has even more high quality, user created puzzles to download for free.

This is the definitive jigsaw puzzle game. There are plenty of puzzles across 3 levels of difficulty with a half dozen piece shapes to choose from which can further tailor your difficulty level. The music is relaxing. The interface is easy to use. The pieces can be rotated. Once you have placed connecting pieces together they stay together. The images are varied and nice to look at. The animated backgrounds actually make the puzzles a little easier. The only downside to this game is that it ends when you finish the puzzles, which will take quite a while to do. But even that has an upside in Workshop support with plenty of puzzles to choose from. This is really a great game. It contains all the joy of putting together puzzles without the physical space requirements or missing pieces.
