Good asking Puzzle game with slightly animated images.
The Series Animated Jigsaws brings something New to the classic Puzzle game, because they are animated images and also on the individual Puzzle Parts the short animation runs again and again.
The Motives are chosen in such a way that there are rarely very Simplifications. In one Image there is a Swan floating across the Screen, on The Hand of the Anmation you can now see where a Part belongs with the Swan, but that only helps for one Line. Otherwise, the Motifs are not particularly light and from my Point of view there could have been stronger Animations.
The Puzzle Pieces do not need to be rotated and the Shapes are quite different.
Deficiencies WIe in most Puzzle games on the Computer You do not have enough Space to thoroughly pre-sort all Parts as in the real Puzzle. That's why there's the little Help to sort all the Edge Parts onto a Stack. It would be Ideal if you could switch between different Storage Areas.
There are 11 Puzzles, each in Sizes 60, 240 and 350. Rarely stupid is that you can first play only 3 Puzzles in the Size of 60 Parts and then have to Solve the other Puzzles first in 240 or 350 before you can solve them in 60 Parts. Unfortunately, the Developers Ignored corresponding suggestions For improvement.
Conclusion The Game is Fun, but the Level Of difficulty is not intended for Beginners. The Idea of Animation is good, unfortunately it has been used too cautiously for my Taste in this Game of the Series. The paid £0.99s is a good Price.

Cons: 1. There are only 10 Puzzles. The three different Sizes only expand the Game to a limited extent, especially since most sizes become available only after All Puzzles have been completed for the first Time. To what extent the Extent of the size, however, depends heavily on the Discount achieved.
2. The Music is typically Japanese, but offers too little Variety and becomes monotonous after a While. Later, I ran my own Music in the Background. Maybe it would have helped if the three Pieces had been longer, you could have changed them while Solving a Puzzle, or there were generally more pieces of Music to Choose from.
3. Unfortunately, the Game mechanics that individual Pieces can be connected to each other Anywhere can be exploited in such a way that you can solve the Puzzles without any Hassle. Not Knowing Is certainly conducive to Gameplay here. That is why this is not a strong Criticism.
Pros: 1. Animated Puzzles are an interesting Concept that provides Freshness and Variety.
2. The Motifs offer a lot of Variety and are beautiful to look at. Apart from the Holstein cows, which I can't really take seriously as a Holsteiner in a Japanese Environment, I don't see any Weaknesses. Especially noteworthy for me is Tokyo in Alternation from Day to Night as well as the famous Street intersection in Shibuya. This also shows clearly that Animation can also bring its own Form of Difficulty.
Conclusion: I am satisfied with the Game and can recommend it, because there are strengths in the most decided Categories. Whether I would pay full Price, however, I can't estimate: Steam's regular Discount campaigns (and certain other Sites where you can buy Bundles for an Appel and an Egg) have severely damaged my Willingness to pay for digital Titles. If you like to put Puzzles together, you can at least expect a satisfactory experience.
