All the Fun, None of the Mess
What better way to pass the time than to sit down with a jigsaw puzzle and piece together a beautiful and coherent picture from what may appear to be utter chaos. Make sense of the jumble and reap the rewards of a job well done. With Pastime Puzzles, you get all the enjoyment and satisfaction of a conventional jigsaw puzzle, but without all the mess of pieces everywhere, the headache of missing pieces, or the issue of finding enough suitable table space to complete the puzzle! That's right, you get all the fun and none of the mess!
The design in this game is amazing, as it is incredibly intuitive just like a regular puzzle, but there's also a series of extra tools that can help you when you need it. It doesn't get much more convenient than this, especially considering that you don't need to devote a whole table to a puzzle only to have nowhere to put the completed picture! It's easy and it's fun!
A Sense of Nostalgia
And these aren't just a series of generic puzzles either! Head back to the simpler and more innocent days of the 1950s. This was the decade that brought us Elvis Presley, Sunset Boulevard, Alfred Hitchcock, I Love Lucy, Mickey Mantle, and Sugar Ray Robinson. With this title, you'll be surrounded with nostalgic themes, fantastic timely tunes, and pictures that will certainly take you back. Pastime Puzzles: The fifties isn't just about the jigsaws themselves, but also about the incredible imagery and music that accompany them. Truly a complete package.
Collect the Whole Set
And the fun won't run out any time soon either. There are 50 amazing puzzles to enjoy, spanning five different difficulty levels. They get progressively more challenging, and as a result, progressively more rewarding and richly designed. When you complete a box of five puzzles in the main Puzzle Challenge, you unlock them for later enjoyment in the Puzzle Collection mode. Here, you can try to achieve better and better times as there is a clock in the top right corner of the screen that keeps track of how long it takes you to complete the picture. Can you improve your personal best? Can you unlock all fifty puzzles set in the fifties?
What's more, there is a huge variety of puzzles to tackle, spanning a wide range of categories and genres. Do you like cute puppies or amazing skylines? Are nature photographs your cup of tea, or do you have more of a soft spot for still life? There's something here for everyone! And with each level of difficulty, you'll have to face more and more pieces. Eventually, they are even rotated out of position!
Useful Tools and More
It's certainly helpful that the pieces "snap" into place when you have them correctly oriented. To see a preview of the full picture, simply click on the icon in the top left corner, whereas the icons on the other three corners open up "drawers" where you can store unused pieces until you need them. While you may not need to make use of this feature in the early stage, it will become infinitely value later on when you are faced with many more pieces than your mind can fathom! If you look near the top of the screen, you will also notice a button that reads "borders only", leaving you with only the "edge" pieces. This way, you can create the outer frame first and work from there. But you'll still need to put in work!
Solving the Puzzle, Passing the Time
Pastime Puzzles delivers fifty unique puzzles, each beautifully designed to fit within the nostalgic theme of the 1950s. Relaxing, challenging, and fun, you'll have a ball piecing these pictures together.
