OUTSTANDING JOURNEY AROIND THE WORLD

Got an early copy of this game , and have a couple leftvto do, I am really enjoying the journey so far, beautiful settings and such a calming relaxing experience. The puzzles themselves are really clever, I’m confident enough not you use the manual now. The hut is a cosy place to sit back and chill. Thank you to dev for providing a key I throughly recommend this app.

Such a relaxing experience

Puzzles of the world is a wonderful and relaxing experience. I own several puzzle games on the quest but the devs did a great job in creating something unique. You follow the building instructions in your own pace, the scenery is beautiful and the feeling to "get something done" make the experience rewarding and fun. I just finished a few models and can't wait to finish some more. A great cozy app to relax.

Lovely little puzzle game

It's a very relaxing and enjoyable experience. The overall sceneries are serene and the music is well chosen. The puzzles are also intuitive. I see a lot of potential for this game if the developers keep at it. I'm giving it 4 stars to acknowledge all the work the developers put into this game. It still needs more work to deserve 5 stars: The overall graphics need to be better in 2026. The should be different difficulty levels. More puzzles are needed. The 7-8 puzzles so far can all be completed in under 2-3 hours. The controls need to be improved, sometimes its hard to grap a piece, especially when its close to a bigger piece. Thank you to the developers!

My Living Room Is Now a Puzzle Workshop

This is a wonderfully relaxing and satisfying puzzle game. The environments are beautifully detailed, everything feels smooth and polished, and the beautiful locations make constructing each puzzle whether it’s a building, boat or cabin feel like you've earned a little virtual holiday The controls are intuitive, making it easy to pick up and play, placing and joining many parts to complete the build but I am feeling grateful for the construction manual to read to help you complete the build, I needed it. If you're looking for a calm, stress-free experience that you can enjoy at your own pace, with music or ambient sounds around you. This little gem is highly recommended!
