make your own jig saw puzzle game

November 8, 2004 (Press Release) -- X-plosive JigSaw Puzzles Lite allows you to play or cut any JPEG image (even your own image) into a realistic jigsaw puzzle. You can choose from our 400 beautiful jigsaw puzzles available online and 54 piece cutting styles, with more or less chaos when generating them. The game also comes with several puzzles already cut, waiting just three clicks from you to play them!

This jigsaw puzzle game is real easy to play. While its big brother, the X-plosive Jigsaw Puzzles Pro, was designed to give the professional jigsaw puzzle player all the tools it needs, the interface of this Lite version has been simplified a lot. The scope is to keep the gameplay at a maximum level, while losing nothing important. This is especially helpfull for the beginer puzzlers.

You still have a small picture of the jigsaw puzzle, a real-size ghost (transparent) image, an arranging tool for jigsaw pieces and some nifty pins that stick themselves when you place the piece on the ghost. X-plosive JigSaw Puzzles Lite is the perfect environment to solve jigsaw puzzles!

The big brother of this game is the X-plosive Jigsaw Puzzles Pro. The Pro version is a complete jigsaw puzzle game for professional jigsaw puzzle lovers. If you think that the Lite version is to simple for you, then you should really try the professional version.
