Train Your Eye: Pattern & Detail Recognition:
Watch a veteran puzzler: a glance at a piece, a glance at the table, and the hand moves with an almost spooky certainty. That's not luck, it's a trained eye. Hours of telling near-identical shapes and shades apart build a quiet knack for seeing, and players tell us they notice it well beyond the puzzle table. Their observations first.
When my kids were little I had to stop doing jigsaws because there would always be pieces missing... I think I have learned a lot about art by doing puzzles (my favorite image choices are art). If I see a piece of art and I've put together jigsaws of his or her work, I recognize the artist. I've spent so much time looking at minute details.

I have your BrainsBreaker full version... fun, challenging, cute, pretty and different. Thanks for the fun!

When I found Brains Breaker it became just what my mind needed, as a way to regain a portion of my mental and physical dexterity, and most importantly the ability to analyze, e.g. matching colors and size to openings.

Now that I have a chance I must tell you how fascinating I have found your program and how essential it is to my late night activity before going to bed. It concentrates the mind in an exceptional way , and I now do make the pictures very difficult to assemble.

The quiet skill every puzzle trains:
Finding one piece among five hundred is a small feat of seeing: holding a silhouette in mind, filtering by color, ignoring the near-matches, catching the difference between two patches of almost-identical sky. Each piece you place is one more rep — look, compare, reject, confirm. It works because the pieces are worth the attention in the first place: BrainsBreaker's genuinely unique shapes mean the sorting is real, not the tile-snapping of simpler apps.
May I say what a terrific program it is. I have been able to create a variety of Jigsaws (in different image sizes)...

Very nice game features. A fine product.

It is a beautiful puzzle and the program’s very well written. Thank you!

Sharpness that comes from pleasure:
Like everything here, the practice happens because the playing happens. The looking rides along with the memory and attention people value, inside the relaxed, absorbed state that keeps them coming back — no drills, no scores. It shows up most with art: do enough of one painter and you start to know the hand. A sharper eye, picked up one satisfying click at a time.
