This game has potential if it was developed upon, Took me a total of 1 hr and 16 mins to complete. Not bad.
I would recommend the game if you have a spare hour and honestly just looking for something to pass the time.
Some things i would add/change if i was the developer;
-
Pause screen (Instead of hitting ESC to pause instead closes the game)
-
Mute music only button, I think the sounds are good except the music. Found that annoying.
-
Make the “Level Complete” stand out more.
-
Allow level replayability.

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

Hidden Shapes Animals - Jigsaw Puzzle Game
Really enjoyed the chill vibe (my wife was listening to me play, and the music was soothing her to sleep, lol), and the puzzles were progressively challenging, but not frustratingly so - at least I didn’t find them that way. I also appreciated that the hint system (which I needed a few times to ferret out some misoriented pieces that weren’t at all obvious to me) doesn’t penalize you in any way. If you’re looking for a nice, relaxing, puzzle game, definitely give this one a go. I’ll definitely look out for other stuff put out by this developer. :-)

A dollar gets you a nice set of nature themed puzzles on a dark background that is easy on the eyes. The images are solved by turning the pieces in place, not by moving them on the board. So there is no ‘dragging and dropping’ which I like. Pieces only turn one way so if you turn it one too far you have to turn it three more times to get it back where you want it. The line art is nice and a starry background appears when you finish each puzzle. The music is peaceful. Best played in the dark to appreciate the night-sky visual theme. Good for a relaxing, casual puzzle. Note: using the hint function, press the hint button again to get back to puzzle-solving mode. The pieces are locked in the the hint mode and can’t be turned.

Epitasis
At this point I cannot recommend this game.. It’s beautiful but very strangely organized. There are also a number of technical problems, which you might or might not encounter. They have brought me to a point where the game is essentially unplayable. Your experience might be different.
Totally mind boggling what many reviewers have said about playing the game in two to four or more hours. I have explored and struggled and experienced many, many unnecessary crashes at the middle stage of the game. Lately whenever I click on a glowing object, the cursor gets stuck. There seem to be two different pointers, one belonging to the mouse, one thrown out by the game. Often in trying to disengage from the stuck point, the game becomes unplayable. Swings from high to low screen resolution and often crashes (“minimizes”) down to the taskbar icon. Generally the position is “saved,” but what saved means is open to debate.

Summary: Loved the aesthetics, music, and gameplay, puzzles were trivially easy, don’t get it if you want any challenge.
This is Talos Principle for kiddos. It uses a similar world system as Talos, where you can explore a beautiful world and 2-3 puzzles are contained within each world. Sometimes the puzzles overlap which is cool. The way the game uses colors is really fascinating and advanced, so if you’re after effects and aesthetics, you’ll love the hell out of that aspect of this game. There’s also dynamic weather! This works for the beauty of the game but can make navigating a bit confusing because levels at certain times of day do not look anything like they do at other times of the day. Loved the color and the natural design, simplistic but pretty. The soundtrack is amazing as well, it really added to the whole experience and is one of the better ambient game soundtracks I’ve heard.

Fossil Corner
Decided to pay for this one as I spent countless hours on Overfull Games previous game, “Plant Daddy”.
I do not regret the money I spent! And I am kind of stingy, especially when it comes to entertainment.
If you like breeding, if you like paleontology, if you like puzzles, if you like decorating, if you like making pretty things! I recommend this game. Fun, intuitive, calm or fast paced depending on your own mood, work as slowly or quickly as you like.
Simple controls.
Few bugs, as it is early release, very minor, sometimes fun/funny!

Super relaxing, super satisfying, super adorable game about completing fossil puzzles and adding them to your ever-expanding fossil collection. It’s the fun kind of addictive!
Initially I was a little hesitant to try it, since in my experience random-generated content tends to be pretty samey, and I wasn’t sure if generated puzzles was something that could even be pulled off. I was pleasantly proved quite wrong, though - the puzzles usually aren’t major brainteasers, but they are enough to keep your attention, and at the end you get to add a new item to your collection to display, which gives the game this well-built, satisfying feedback loop; doing chill puzzles, earning money and fossils, spending money to decorate your room and put more of your cute little fossils on display. Something I especially like is how the game takes something that actual paleontologists do - sort fossils by minimum changes each generation to find their evolutionary paths - and turns it into a puzzle game! A few seemingly simple mechanics make for a surprisingly fun and engrossing game. I’m very excited to see the content updates the developer is adding soon, too. :

Regrowth
Take some time off and relax
Regrowth is a game that I could enjoy even when i had little time to myself. The various mechanics - which on their own look pretty simple and self explanatory- and layouts of the puzzles make for an intriguing and often challenging experience. Quite often changing mindsets and/or gradual optimisation were the keys to solving the levels, and it gives the player a good amount of satisfaction each time it all finally comes together.
I think these kind of puzzle games are a nice way to keep ones mind thinking on simpler things for a while, in a cute, relaxing atmosphere, so I’d definitely it recommend for anyone.

The game is a realy refreshing experience, especially nowadays when everything is about reflection time, high speed hand-eye coordination. I find it amazingly important for these hidden gems to exist, so a troubled mind can find some peace. Regrowth has a charming, fantasy-like look, which fits in greatly with the immersive story with which anybody could relate. The puzzles are just challenging enough to create some intellecutal relaxation after a hard day’s mental work. However, besides all those points I have mentioned, the most important aspect of the game is…you can plant some green dude! :D

Summer: Jigsaw Puzzles
(reviewed: 2020-04-30)
Positives+++
+Pieces snaps to the board and to each other.
Observations and suggestions~~~
~There is a few images that really look alike (3 in a row) and there is twice the first image at position 1 and position 133 (or 12 starting from the right)
Negatives–-
-No achievements
-Puzzle progression is not saved.
-UI is not very pretty. Scroll bar hasn’t even been changed from the default unity scroll bar.
-Sliding puzzle should let the user place piece even if the last piece has not finished its animation. It’s not fun to have to wait for every sliding animation to complete before sliding the next piece.

VoxFox
I got my $0.92 USD out of this game, but it has a lot of problems …
VoxFox is a very simplistic game, and becomes boring quickly … from the way it plays, it’s a ‘shovelware’ type of game. To be honest I would recommend a game called ‘SimLife’ instead of VoxFox.
Some issues I noticed:
1: frame rate problems, despite being simplistic .
2: trees, rocks, and other items stack on top of each other when placed in the same tile
3: unlimited ‘homes’ can be placed in the same tile, despite the animals not being able to come out

I have played the total of 4 minutes, and still had no idea what is going on
Great Game keep it up!
