Gameplay Overview
Discover the world of baby animals with this jigsaw puzzle game! Complete jigsaw puzzles of cute baby animals with relaxing background music. Players can choose 3 different sizes of jigsaw puzzles: 20, 30 or 42 pieces.
Once you start the game, you have 16 baby animal puzzles to choose from. Once you select an image, all the puzzle pieces unscramble to the sides. The background image in gray-scale shows what the resulting image looks like. As more pieces are placed in the correct spots, the puzzle in color gradually comes into view until it’s completed. At any time during the game, you may go back to the main menu, mute the sound effects, or mute the background music.

This game is easy to install, intuitive to navigate and play. Players may choose the level of difficulty by the number of puzzle pieces. The greater number of puzzle pieces there are, the more difficult and jigsaw puzzles are. There is no penalty or timer for incorrect moves, so players can relax and enjoy the game.

The baby animals in the puzzle images are very adorable. The 3D images are very detailed and in high definition. The color themes in each puzzle are nicely coordinated, vibrant but not overwhelming. The animations and transitions are smooth and appropriate for younger eyes.

This game’s current price is a one-time fee of $1.29 for a total of 16 jigsaw puzzles. Each puzzle can be played with 3 different levels of difficulty. When played at medium difficulty with 30 puzzle pieces, all puzzles can be solved within 2 hours. More puzzles are available for purchase with DLC. This price is reasonable for a simple game with no hidden fees.
