Picture Builder Pixel Puzzle Reviews

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

i liked it when i first started playing but then it said i ran out of energy so i have to watch a ad or pay 5 coins but the only way to get coins is daily (i'm only assuming this like i said i just started) and i collected the free coin and it was only 2 or u have to play irl money to get more coins...? and then there's no ad option to get more coins. Also why have the calendar for a new art piece every day and then not even get a reward for doing it? i play a lot of coloring games and not one "runs out of energy" i mean that's ridiculous tbh, i really wanted to continue but i don't want to have to wait for an energy refill so unless i'm dumb and there is a way to farm coins goodbye lol

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.

I really really love this game i’ve been playing it none stop, it’s very satisfying and fun to play. However the energy is basically none existent. I have played and used up all 300 of my energy and then come back to it after i get home from a 10 hour shift after work and my energy will still not be full. I feel like it’s sort of cash grabby in the sense that if you want to play more than one time in 24 hrs you’re almost certainly going to have to watch 6 full ads in order to get your energy back if you’re not willing to pay for coins.

I completely understand the need for ads and in-app purchases in order to get the game more revenue and with how the game looks and runs it’s clear they put a TON of work into it. But i feel like the energy should regain faster if you want people to keep playing. A couple hours makes sense for a full regain of energy but I can usually only play once a day if i don’t want to watch 6 ads for energy plus the ads throughout after a couple items.

I’ve been playing this game for months at this point, and I’ve made it through all the currently available locations, and have moved onto the “Extra Level” section. The extra levels are just the same locations with different pieces (very large/very small). I looked back at the version history and the last time levels were added (stated to be added) was 6 months ago. I know it must take a while to put out levels, but other things (like the premium subscription and change to the slider on the bottom, as well as the less than accurate piece counter) have all appeared in that time. Even one new level would keep me busy for a bit.

I really do love this game although there’s a few things I don’t really like about it. For one, trying to pick something up is so sensitive that it swipes over to the next page when you don’t want it too. That is really aggravating when you play this game to calm yourself down. Two: I don’t understand the point of having energy in a game like this. I get that you need adds but with no energy you can still have the adds up there. Maybe even add challenge levels that you have to watch an add for so you don’t have to use the energy and you still get the adds/ money you need.

This game is very fun and relaxing. The main issue I have is that if you buy the remove adds option you are still required to use adds to refresh your building energy which is misleading to a sense. If you make a purchase to remove adds it should remove the thinly veiled cash grab that is having an energy system to do actions. While it makes sense in other games having an energy system in a puzzle game only works to disrupt your enjoyment of the game. Also being able to reset puzzles would be nice as once you finish them you are only left with the daily puzzles

Just what I wanted for Hanukkah this game was so fun amazing and addicting. I decided to take a bite. It tasted so good and I can’t describe the flavor. Kind of taste like an apple maybe because that’s what kind of eye in my whole family play every day and we all have a blast and eat chocolate while playing Fortnite while playing this. I enjoy playing this game and competing with all my brothers and sisters to see who is the best at Picture Builder art puzzles. I definitely don’t get bullied at school and I always every day I suggest to scan to anybody who is looking for eating a game because it taste very good.

This puzzle app delivers fun levels and my 5 year old loves it. At first it started out with him using hints, watch an add, use all the hints, watch more adds till he completed the puzzle. Now he’s completing the puzzles somewhat independently. You don’t have to spend money but I find it is worth while to get the levels at the pace I want. Once I foolishly did not have PictureBuilderPixelPuzzle synced and I did not back it up. I logged out and lost my purchased level. The developer responded quickly and helped me regain my purchase. I have since learned to stay logged in to sync my progress and have continued to spend money because the developer helped me.

I usually never give reviews for anything, but I wanted to do so for this game. Overall I think Picture Builder is a simple, relaxing, and a well thought out puzzle game.

There are people who are complaining that this is a cash grab game. I can see where they’re coming from, but people gotta make money somehow. I personally like that you have to wait for energy because it makes it so I am not glued to my phone for hours. People are also complaining about the no ads, but read the fine print and it doesn’t mention anything about energy. It only mentions that it removes ads (not including reward ads).

I normally don’t write reviews but i just had to let the designer know how great this game is. I have been playing it for a while as I am up to pirates bay. I just finished the volcano and it has been by far the hardest one to do. I felt like I was doing a 1000 piece puzzle, which is one of my favorite pastimes to do. The difficulty on this puzzle is great level and there is still room to make it more difficult. I enjoy playing this puzzle and the best part is I don’t have to worry about losing pieces. The ads are not too intrusive either. Keep up the good work. I look forward to playing more puzzles.

I’ve played this game daily for several months, and purchased the removal of ads. It’s one of my absolute favorites. It’s updated frequently and they constantly add more levels and content. However, the elements with movement used to remain stationary until you placed all the pieces, but now they move before they’re complete. On small pieces it wasn’t an issue, but bigger elements like the hot air balloon in the Garden Ball level were much more difficult to place pieces on. Is it possible to go back to things not moving until all the pieces are placed? Thank you so much

So I played this game for a while and here are my thoughts on it

Ads. This game has an insane amount of ads. I can’t finish a section with like 2 ads in a row popping up. The people who say there’s ads occasionally are lying.

Overall the game has potential, and I liked the bits of gameplay that I managed to get. But I eventually dropped it after a month because the ads made this game less relaxing. I get ads for like e or something, or maybe free energy. But it’s continuous. Only voted it 5 stars so y’all can see this, I know companies and stuff have a tendency to hide negative reviews

I love this game. It is mindless fun and absolutely amazing. However, I have a suggestion. The two buttons on the bottom to sort the tiles or spotlight where they go… it would be nice if those buttons can be moved. I cannot tell you how many times I have hit those accidentally. Even when doing the daily puzzle where the sort button does me no good. I like to save those credits up (love the new feature of the reverse finding of tiles, btw) to use when I need them. So, in conclusion, please please move the buttons away from the bottom of the screen near the tiles.

i have little to no issues with this game. the ads are reasonable, only popping up occasionally, with a cute ad break alert. it gives you an incentive to log in: to do the daily puzzle. you can collect free coins everyday, albeit not a lot. but that doesn't matter because you can unlock most of the things with ads if you don't want to pay. It has a limit to how much you can build before having to watch an ad/pay coins, but it's a very large limit (200) so you won't run out quickly. I've only ever reached the limit once. It's a slow paced game, so i'd recommend playing only to the limit and then taking a break. but of course, you should play it however you see fit!

I absolutely love this game. I play it every day hours and hours but today, August 19 every time I get a piece of the puzzle, an ad at the bottom pops up every single time and I have to stop push the arrow to exit and then start all over again. I really hope you can fix this because it’s aggravating and I don’t mind watching ads to get the 50 energy, but this doesn’t give you anything and it’s just constant. Take me 10 minutes if that to put a puzzle together now it’s twice as long. so if you can, please please please fix it.

This game is easy to master and very satisfying to play, it is exactly what the adds show! You start out in a city and slowly place all the “stickers” in their proper places. I play this game to wind down and it is not frustrating and it has challenges while still being playable! The only thing is sometimes the price you have is small or even big but it take a long time to find where it goes! Overall I’m very thankful I downloaded this game and I think you should too!

Love this game so much. There are a ton of levels and each one takes a while. It seems like some of the more recent levels/scenes are of worse quality though, with the images sometimes so foggy and oddly pixelated (more so than the general design of the game) that I find myself squinting at my phone to make it out. Hoping this is just a stylistic choice for some recent levels and not a new lower quality level of the graphics, bc they really are so good in most scenes!

I download games a lot, and 9 times out of 10 I end up deleting them within a day or 2. However this one has been so fun and relaxing. It's enough of a challenge to have you think but not frustrating to the point of giving up. If you love puzzles it's definitely a good app to get!

There's a couple of things I wish I could change though. Such as when you are putting a piece where it goes it doesn't snap into place, you have to be pretty precise in order for it to go. Which can be a little annoying because you know it goes there, but unless you fit it exactly it won't stay. But it's pretty minor

Also, even though the ads are few and far between, there have been some that have been wildly inappropriate. This game isn't rated 17+, why should I be seeing ads that are?
