A Surefire Winner
I've played a lot of puzzle games in my life. And I'm not talking about the kind where you have to match the colored blocks and make rows of colored spheres. No, I'm talking about actual jigsaw puzzle games. The kind that require a sort of laidback patience that is hard to come by in this fast, always-on-the-go world that we live in now. There is nothing more soothing or more relaxing than sinking your teeth (metaphorically, of course) into a good, old fashioned jigsaw puzzle. Don't you believe me? Then why not give it a shot and see for yourself?
Flower Power!
Super Jigsaw Flowers presents you with fifty super fun jigsaw puzzles that depict various kinds of beautiful flowers. This assortment of vibrant, eye-pleasing plant life is sure to please anyone, especially those of the feminine persuasion. Or, of course, gardeners! It also tells you the name of all the flowers, so if you're new to the plant world, you might benefit from all the information!
You can modify the difficulty of each puzzle by setting the number of pieces, how they are shaped, how distorted those shapes are, and finally, if the pieces can be rotated or not. If you set the rotation function on, you can hit the spacebar to turn a piece, ramping up the difficulty pretty heavily. Perfect for the puzzle enthusiast who is looking for a challenge.
The Flowers Aren't the Only Things To Look At
Super Jigsaw Flowers has a streamlined, straightforward interface that is both easy on the eyes and easy to use. It presents all of the puzzles in 4 x 6 grids, save for the last two puzzles, which get a page all to themselves. They must be some pretty special flowers.
You can also customize the background of the playing area with five different textures and countless colors. This may not sound like much, but it goes a long way to keep the game enjoyable and fun. Who wants to look at the same background for hours?
I know what you're thinking, "who said I was going to play for hours?" But believe me, you will. That's the beauty of jigsaw puzzles. They require a lot of time and patience, but instead of feeling like a waste of time, they feel very rewarding and satisfying upon completion.
A Worthwhile Hobby
Jigsaw puzzles may not fit in with society's preference of killer graphics and cool sound effects, but they don't have to. They represent something that we all need from time to time. A relaxing break from the everyday world that is constantly rushing us.
Now, I realize that their must be some younger people out there who have never really given puzzles a chance. I mean, why do a puzzle when you can play something more fast-paced? I can appreciate where you're coming from and I understand your hesitation, but I think you should just give it a shot. I guarantee that you'll be hooked instantly.
