Good Puzzle: Music

In Brief
A simple jigsaw puzzle

The Game
Good Puzzle: Music is a simple jigsaw puzzle, created using the unity engine and apart from the actual images is exactly the same as the previous game that we were given on the 16th March 21. We've had several of these as well as other genres (amounting to over 30 games) from this developer (Laush Dmitriy Sergeevich) since early last year.

When you open the game you will see the level selection screen with access to 12 jigsaw puzzles. You can choose any of these right from the outset, despite it saying they are closed. There doesn't appear to be any significance to this as even once you've completed a puzzle it continues to say closed. Once a puzzle is completed the timer does not stop. If you return to the level screen then return to the puzzle it resets itself and leaves no indication that you've previously completed the game; also, there is no profile set up, and no progress stats included with the game.

You can select from three languages, English, Russian and Chinese via the flag button in the top right hand section of the game screen. You can also turn off the pleasant music via the speaker button next to the flag, or close the game via the X button.

Once you've selected a puzzle you will see a black and white image of the puzzle, which you can also see in colour if you hover your mouse over the artists palette in the top right hand corner of the puzzle. If you then click on the palette it will leave the image in colour, which can make it a tad harder to place the puzzle pieces because once a piece has been placed it disappears into the coloured image with no definable gaps/edges between pieces that have been placed and those that have still to be placed. That said, because you can see all of the image, it's easy enough to place most of the pieces just by matching up the piece with the image. Once the image is in colour, you can change it back to black and white temporarily by hovering over the artists palette, but it won't change it permanently. One your mouse pointe leaves the palette, it will return to the coloured image. Unfortunately there appears to be no way to turn this image off; which, in my opinion makes the puzzles far too easy.

Each puzzle is made up of an invisible 4 x 5 piece grid; once you've place any of the 20 puzzle piece's in the correct position, they will lock in place. If you place any puzzle piece in the wrong position, when you let go of it, it glows red and will return to the outside perimeter of the puzzles image automatically.

Overall, Good Puzzle: Castles is a 'very very' easy jigsaw to complete, especially with only 12 puzzles and each puzzle comprising of only 20 square puzzle pieces. Also, the inability to get rid of the puzzles image either in black & white or colour and the simple shape of each puzzle piece makes it even easier to complete quickly. An experienced jigsaw player can easily complete the whole game in less than 25 minutes. Because these puzzles are very simple they are probably only suitable for younger children between the ages of 6 to 8 (maybe with adult supervision).

p.s. forgot to add my virus scan results this morning. Cylance gave it a negative unsafe, but didn't specify any particular threat. The rest of the 58 antimalware engines cleared it of any malware.
