The game’s really fun and original but the energy system is insane. Every piece you place costs 1 energy. You can have 300 energy and every 3 minutes 1 energy gets restored. You can watch ads to get energy faster, but an ad only gets you 50 energy each, meaning you have to watch six 60-90 second ads to restore your energy to 300. This wouldn’t be that big of a deal if it didn’t take only around 30-45 minutes to deplete all your energy.

Also, I didn’t fall for it, but based on multiple other people’s reviews, purchasing the $6 no-ad upgrade only gets rid of the automatic ads that pop up every 5 minutes of playing, which can easily be ignored by resetting the game. The no-ad upgrade does NOT get rid of needing to watch ads to refill your energy. If you do want to have unlimited energy, you’ll need to purchase the $15/month premium edition subscription. That’s more money than a Netflix subscription for a jigsaw puzzle game. If you have the money to spend $15/month on this, then I would recommend it, but for most people that just doesn’t make any sense. I would happily pay $5 to play this game if it was pay-to-play and didn’t rely on the energy bar ads/microtransactions to make money.

Hopefully they do something about this, but if not, hopefully another developer can make a similar version of the game without the energy system and just make it pay-to-play if they really want to.

The game itself is very fun, but the devs have locked a lot of it behind ads, time, and money. Once your initial energy bar of 300 runs out (one piece placed per 1 energy spent), you can either regenerate one every 3 minutes or watch a full minute of ads to get 50 more. For reference, this means it takes 15 hours to fully restore the energy bar just by waiting, making the game take FAR longer than it should to be playable. There are also “premium” objectives that are locked either behind money or ads (yet again, a full minute). The game itself is well designed, but the glaring cash grabs and wait times make it unplayable and i will be removing it from my phone

The game is great. It’s addictive too so be forewarned. While it’s relaxing and fun, it is also poorly designed. It’s based on energy. You need energy to play. Every puzzle piece you place, drains your energy. You can maybe play it for 25 min if the energy is full, before it drains completely. In order to replenish it, you have to watch adds or spend quite a bit of money. I got the ad free version but am now stuck watching ads in order to play.

Also, not all puzzle pieces sit flush to the background. It gets tricky with certain images.

Developers! Please increase the energy capacity. 300 is not enough! Stop letting it drain so fast. It’s ridiculous. You will loose players.
