Anyone who loves cardboard puzzles eyes a digital one with suspicion — and fairly so. Most apps give you flat tiles that snap together like icons. BrainsBreaker was made by and for puzzle people: pieces with real shapes and shadows, free movement, rotation, trays, a table. Long-time puzzlers tell us it's the first digital version that actually feels like the thing. Their words first; the details below.
That puzzle program is so gooooood.....I smile when I use it. "Edges first" "solve-help" "sort by color" "make own puzzle" and much more.... Perfect. If you like jigsaw puzzle.....this is for you.

This program is like making puzzles like I used to do as a kid in the 1950's and it is intuitive. You must have been a puzzle person too in order to create a program that is so realistic and so much like I used so many years ago. I thank you so much for providing so many happy hours of puzzles.

I remember the days when I would have a puzzle board on the dining table... When I discovered you, I said YES!!!

Like a REAL out-of-the-box jigsaw puzzles, but the best thing is being able to create my own from any image.

The Mac version is excellent! It is like having an old friend back :)

Absolutely the best jigsaw program I have ever come across.

El BrainsBreaker me parece un producto genial, muy bien hecho, cuidado hasta el más mínimo de sus detalles y asombrosamente fiel a la forma 'real' de hacerlo con piezas de cartón. Mis más sinceras felicitaciones por el logro obtenido y un voto de admiración.

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your puzzle program. It is clean, tight, logical, flexible and fun. Thanks for 'building' it. Your efforts are appreciated.
Marci, NJ USA
It installed in just a few seconds and we're already working the puzzles, which are truly beautiful and have so much variety. Your website should be proud of the way in which you service your customers and we will recommend you to all of our friends. Thank you once again.
Bill & Sandi, TX USA
This is the most enjoyable software I think I have ever used, it does all that it claims and does it flawlessly. I have never registered a shareware program as quickly as this one.

Every piece is cut with the irregular, organic shape of a die-cut cardboard one — no two alike, each with its own silhouette and a faint shadow under it. You drag them around the table, rotate them, pile them, push them aside. And when two really belong together they join with that small, satisfying click every puzzler knows. The fidelity isn't decoration: telling genuinely unique shapes apart is what makes a jigsaw a jigsaw — the part flat-tile apps quietly remove. It's also where the eye for detail gets its workout.
I have recommended this puzzle to so many people and they have used it. This puzzle program is the closest to the real jigsaw puzzles I have ever found except you don't lose the pieces and you don't have to clean them up after completing.

Thank you for the best jigsaw puzzle game I have ever seen.
Lars, Denmark
There's a lot I like about it - the locking of edges, scatter by colour, & much more. The locking of pieces is amazing.
Tony

Definitely the best Mac puzzle app!
Brenda
Thank you so much, BrainsBreaker is the best puzzle program.
Jeanette, PA USA
I really enjoy the puzzles. Just like the real deal—only better.
Judy


Keep up the good work. This is by far the best jig-saw puzzle on the market!
Linda
This jigsaw program is really cool.
Carolyn F., Australia
I must say I am enormously impressed with this programme. The sound effects are great too. Showed it to my husband and he said you put a lot of thought into this (he's a programmer) and said it looks like it's going to be a lot of fun.
I've always loved doing jigsaw puzzles and I've never found a computer game I liked, so this is a first in the very best way.
Joy P., Canada
Just want you to know that I enjoy it very much and think it is an outstanding program. Thank you for creating it.
Thomas K., FL USA

This program is the best I have ever found. I love it!!!
Barbara TX, US
This is the most fun i have had with puzzles , including the ones that i put together on my dining room table, in a long time! sincerely,
Carol, MI USA
This has been the best puzzle program I have ever seen. I just bought a new computer with a big screen, primarily for your program. I really enjoy puzzles.
Nancy, NJ USA


Thank you for a very well presented program. Have enjoyed using it very much in the last two weeks. You seem to have thought of everything to make using it a pleasure.
GA
What a wonderful program you developed. It's more fun than a physical puzzle. You've thought of so many elements to make it fun & usable. Many many thanks from a long-time puzzle addict with no room to lay one out!
Janet, NY USA
Les puzzles sont formidables et tres complets.
Suzanne, France
I bought the Brainsbreaker and want you to know how much I am enjoying it.
I love doing puzzles and doing them on the PC is wonderful.
Pam, GA USA

I like the flexibility built into this app. I can easily create new puzzles, format them to a size I like, choose the shape of pieces for each puzzle as well as the number of pieces. I like that the app saves my progress without having to do anything and I like the ease of leaving without having to do a lot of unnecessary clicks to get out of the app. I don't use everything every time but for some puzzles I'll turn on the ghost image for a little while and then turn it off again. I change the shape of the pieces depending on the puzzle image. Sometimes I use the trays but not always. I haven't tried working puzzles with rotated pieces because I haven't needed the extra difficulty but may eventually try this.

This program is much superior to any other that I've tested for computers and they do not hold a candle to your program. It is like making puzzles like I used to do as a kid in the 1950's and it is intuitive. You must have been a puzzle person too in order to create a program that is so realistic and so much like I used so many years ago

Because it mirrors the real thing, nobody needs a tutorial — a grandmother who's done cardboard puzzles all her life sits down and just continues. That's why it travels so easily across generations, from grandparents to grandkids at the same (now virtual) table. And the realism changes what you can puzzle, too: drop in your own photos or a favorite painting and it becomes a real, fully cut jigsaw — and you keep the table, minus the mess and the lost piece under the sofa.
