    I am extremely disappointed in this version of pixel puzzles. I played Pixel Puzzles: Japan and thoroughly enjoyed it (outside of not being able to easily click the piece you wanted). Seems they fixed that with "Birds", but the background is so horrible I cannot see the pictures. In the pond area where the pieces are floating, there are 6 buttons floating around getting in your way of seeing the pieces plus one ginormous fishing net where you are supposed to drop crabs - that are annoying and run all over your puzzle building space. When you fill up the net, you are supposed to get an award, but they don't seem to work and the crabs have now completely obscured the puzzle pieces floating "below" the net. It is hard enough locating the pieces you need, because they are all mostly blue and they are "under" the water, altering their color slightly, so it is hard to pick the piece you want. There is an option to put a little staging bar at the bottom where you can store pieces, but that also has a craggly, rippled background (as does the building area) which really plays havoc with your eyes. Also, when you put that little staging area there, the pieces floating above the building area are hidden from view. You have to take that away to "find" them again. I tried to take a screenshot of what I am talking about, using the F12 key, but that too seems to be broken. I am so annoyed that I purchased this. It is not fun at all; It is not relaxing at all, and I do not want to play it at all. Boo - hiss devs. Took something great and made it something I'm sorry I purchased.. Pretty good jigsaw puzzle game. Perfect for casual gaming.. Pixel Puzzles 2: Birds is a jigsaw game with a particular theme: birds. The goal is to rebuild a picture of them to unlock more puzzles. If you're familiar with Japan and UndeadZ, nothing is really changing: the pieces are floating in the water, the more you advance, the more puzzles with a big number of pieces you'll find and the forms are different. There is a new mechanism for getting some bonus: you have to catch crabs.

    Also, you have a bonus level on the TV interface, which is nice.

    Anyway, I've enjoyed this game less than the other three (I'm counting Anime in it as I've played at the time of the writing). I suppose it's due to the fact that it's real pictures and not drawing or with effects like in Japan. However, you wanted birds, you have all kinds of them.

    If you like jigsaw puzzles, go for it.. Like the former version Pixel Puzzles : Japan, it is not really a bad game, but it has some flaws that make it a bad experience.

    Sum up of my review :
    + rotation
    + few more or less useful functionalities (zoom, tray, shuffle, switch backgroud color)
    + corrected issue with selecting pieces in Pixel Puzzle : Japan version

    - slow
    - crabs that appear and "dance" randomly over your pieces on the board
    - no sample of the finished image
    - no music (only bird sounds)
    - buttons in the pond that hide pieces
    - water in the ponds blurs and alters the color of the pieces

    +\/- only bird images (well, that's the theme of the game, so it's good if you like birds, bad if you like diversity...)

    First I'm going to review its good points (in comparison to Japan version) : There is a rotation feature, easily done (right click while holding the piece), the problem is that right click while not holding the piece sends it back in the pond. This is not a big problem, but it can be frustrating. Then, there are a bunch of new functionalities added, like shuffling the pieces in the pond (which helps you locating them sometimes), zooming on the board (never used it, but it exists), switch background color of the board, and a tray on the bottom of the screen to put pieces you don't want to loose. I also have to mention the problems for selecting pieces in Japan version are fixed in this one, which is great.

    Now, on to the bad points :
    First is the slowness (I don't know if it is my computer, but even when I'm not in HQ, I have some issues with slow moving pieces), of course the problem increases with the amount of pieces. That sometimes made me miss my clicks.
    Then, I have to mention the crabs : in the previous version, you would sometimes select crabs in the pond instead of pieces. Tha was a problem they fixed in this one : now you catch them to get "powers" : they will randomly appear ON THE BOARD and dance on the pieces. The idea is that you can catch them and throw them into a net on the side of the screen. When you have enough of them, you can use them to get some hints. Well, I don't really care about hints, but I care A LOT about the fact that damn crabs are dancing over the picture until I throw them out. And they will reappear 10 or 20 seconds later. By the way, you CAN'T remove them in the options, because you can't do much in the options anyway.
    Still no sample of what your puzzle would look like when finished (well, there is an image that fades quickly at the beginning, but after that, you're with your memory ...
    Unlike the previous opus, there is no music in this one, there are only some bird sounds in the background, so it feels a bit empty. At least the previous game was pretty relaxing, but this one is not.
    I mentioned the crabs that prevented you to pick your pieces in Japan version ? Well, there are buttons in the pond that do pretty much the same thing : these buttons are the ones that allow the new features, like zooming or changing background color, but they hide pieces behind them, and when you want to click on them, you often select the piece behind instead.
    I also mentioned a tray to put your spare pieces you don't want to loose, well there is also a flaw in that one : the tray appears at the bottom of the screen, and hides the top part of the pond (and obviously the pieces contained in it).

    And I kept the worst for the end : The pieces in the pond are not at the surface, they're IMMERSED in it. That means that the water blurs the details and even ALTERS THE ACTUAL COLOR OF THE PIECE ! If you want an orange piece for instance, you will have to search for a brown one.. This is the third Pixel Puzzles game that I own and it's one of the best of the series, along with Undeadz. The rotation mechanic is great and I hope to find it in future Pixel Puzzles games.

    Pros
    + Rotation of puzzle pieces! = higher difficulty
    + 25 puzzles (significantly more than Japan\/ Undeadz), longer gameplay ~16h total
    + Fun tile edges e.g. bird beaks (as in Undeadz)
    + Ingame bonuses: sorting tray, shuffling pieces +\/- collect crabs for your hints
    + Menu small bonus: minigame, art gallery, instructions
    + You can access easily puzzles with a lot of pieces and return later to smaller ones (unlike in Japan\/Undeadz)

    Cons
    - birds birds birds photography, no sketches, paintings etc (unlike Undeadz)
    - annoying detailed texture background for the puzzle (cliffs with water) - somtimes too similar to the puzzle pieces
    - ads in main menu for other games. This has got to be one of the best bird-themed puzzle games I've ever played!
