I highly enjoyed the puzzles last week! The difficulty was raised a bit but I found that made the puzzle more interesting.

I also loved the pictures! They all looked great. I'd have some of them as prints, ngl...

classical sculpture is my jam (my phone background is david hehe) so i really enjoyed them visually! starting with the face of the sculpture i think helped the pieces fall into place, and it was easy to build around. the shape of the pieces (thinking of the spiky ones) were unique as well and it was satisfying finding where everything went. having the background also be patterned helped make sure you never really felt lost. thumbs up from me ♥️

I loved them. They were especially enjoyable and fun.

Thank you for asking; I was going to talk about them each day, mention how cool and refreshing/exciting I thought they were, for a change, and thank the team, usw. (and so on, etc.), but I didn't.

Thank you for sharing! believe it or not, I also meant to ask for feedback a few times last week and then forgot! So we get a whole thread now 😁

I was not a fan. The puzzles felt too much the same and AI made. By mid-week I was just doing them to get them done vs doing them because I was excited to see what the image actually was. I think themes are great but not when it's the same/very similar image every day.

Yeah, I did send my feedback on the pics when I posted my results on Daily Brag. I did love them!

That's interesting. Isn't it fun to remember that all of us in the world are so similar and yet simultaneously very different? That doesn't apply only to our individual opinions, either. I'll admit that if the theme were similar for longer than it was it would probably start to become boring. I enjoyed being able to see how the puzzle fit together and what was created after they were assembled.

Certain puzzles, like that early puzzle called Orange, if I remember correctly (high-res image of orange leaves), are timestaking and annoying and I was glad there was only one, although being able to zoom in using my fingers as far as I could to see much, MUCH more detail than could be seen on the phone screen at the default zoom level was neat. That added its own challenge, though, because I had to make it all smaller again (zoom out) to see the different pieces, which added to the time taken.

Because I was just using a handheld device, my experience was different than it would have been if I had been using a tablet or larger device, which might have decreased the difficulty. Each modern device's size, the size of the user's fingers, the current capacitance of a person's fingers (which affects how easily a touchscreen can easily detect the intended tap) and whatever else might be different about the person's device or thinking processes will affect how that person can perform on each of the various types of puzzles we find in Jigsaw. (Others likely enjoyed ORANGE more than I did.)

Thanks for the feedback folks, we’ll definitely take it into account. As it’s still early days we are still tweaking the visuals and puzzles as we go along until we find a good rhythm and how a weekly theme should be.
