Alive! Jigsaw livens up the task of solving jigsaw puzzles as not only are there hundreds of colourful puzzles to solve, but many are animated too. This makes the task much more fun as you try to piece together a jigsaw that is constantly on the move!

With its varying levels of difficulty this is perfect entertainment for the kids, and can become just as challenging for grown-ups too. The ability to select between nine and 160 pieces for a puzzle opens up this game to all ages.

Alive! Jigsaw makes use of AVI video clips for its animation and, if you choose to register the software, you will be able to create your own jigsaws using any Jpeg image or AVI video of your own. Again, this can be great for kids who can use their favourite images to improve the enjoyment.

Games can be saved at any point ready for continuation later, which is useful when you attempt a 160-piece puzzle. The animation can be stopped and started at will, as can the nice sound effects. There are even a couple of cheat buttons to help you out should things get tough.

With this download you get five jigsaws, two of which are animated. You can increase the longevity of the program by downloading hundreds of free puzzles here.

Purchase price: $14.90
