- 1.5.4 - Performance Improvement - 10 September 2026
I've just updated the game to implement a performance improvement. When resuming a large puzzle, with many pieces already connected, the reload should now be much faster. I'm keen to hear if this update effectively speeds up loading, and if it introduces any new issues. Please let me know about any other performance or playability concerns!
- 1.5.3 - Performance Improvement - 15 August 2026
This update addresses an issue mentioned by a few puzzle-solvers. Some players mentioned that the game was slowing down over time, particularly after exiting and resuming larger puzzles. I've confirmed the problem, investigated its causes, and made the necessary changes. Anyone who noticed their game slowing down should now enjoy consistent performance. Please let me know if this update improves your experience!
- 1.5.2 - Puzzle Piece Shuffling, Windows 11 Display Update - 27 February 2026
This update aims to address a problem mentioned by several puzzle solvers.When a new puzzle is started, puzzle pieces will now be automatically placed outside of the 'work area'.This should save a lot of time, especially when solving puzzles with large numbers of pieces.As the pieces are now scattered over a far wider area, the view will be 'zoomed-out' by default when each puzzle is started or resumed.Normal zoom functionality remains unaffected.This update also includes code to ameliorate a bug which relates to displaying text on some Windows 11 systems.Developer's note:I'm committed to continue improving the game, and this update comes in response to player feedback.Please let me know if this update improves your experience, and/or if it introduces any new issues that weren't there before!

I'm pleased to announce the addition of a new feature! After completing each puzzle, you can now easily view the completed-puzzle image at full size.

- 1.4.5 - Large Puzzles Bug Fix - 29 September 2023
This update aims to fix an identified bug; lagging when connecting large groups of puzzle pieces. There should be a noticeable difference, with the puzzle piece connection being much smoother in larger puzzle sizes (400+ pieces). I'm interested to find out if you can see an improvement with this update. Please let me know!
- 1.4.4 - Localization Update - 24 August 2023
I have added some more text which wasn't yet translated, relating to the gameplay instructions.
- 1.4.3 - Improved Controls - 27 June 2023
This update brings further improvements to the extra controls introduced in version 1.4.2. Now, the piece-movement and camera-movement functions are controlled by different mouse buttons. This should stop the frustrating situation of trying to move a piece, and instead moving the camera. The left mouse button controls piece movement, as it always did. The camera movement is now controlled by the right mouse button. There are in-game reminders about these controls. I have also moved the corner markers to the top of the z-axis, so that they can always be seen over the puzzle pieces. Thankyou to the members of the community who discussed these changes with me. If you have any other suggestions or comments to share, I'm happy to hear them!
- 1.4.2 - Camera Functions, Puzzle Sizes - 23 June 2023
This is an update which should significantly improve our puzzle experience. We now have a moveable camera. Zoom in, zoom out, or pan the camera to get the best view of your puzzle. There are also several new puzzle sizes. The maximum puzzle size is now 700 pieces! There are lots of new features in this update, which I have tested myself and they seem to function smoothly. Let me know how they work for you!
- 1.4.1 - Puzzle Image Update - 13 June 2023
I have updated some of the core set puzzle images, in the Humans category, to be consistent with the art style of the other images. I hope you like them!
- 1.4.0 - Bonus Puzzles - 11 June 2023
I'm proud to announce a new feature, and a significant expansion to the puzzle collection! Each puzzle set now has 4 unlockable bonus puzzles. Unlock these puzzles by completing the others. With each row of puzzles you complete, you'll unlock a hidden puzzle image! This update increases the size of each puzzle set, from 20 to 24 puzzles. The size of the complete collection therefore increases from 200 puzzles to 240. Players who have previously completed the other puzzles should find these new puzzles unlocked automatically, and the indicators should correctly show which puzzles still need to be completed. Please let me know if this new feature works well for you!
- 1.3.0 - Sliding Puzzle Mode - 25 May 2023
I'm pleased to announce that sliding puzzles have come to Fantasy Jigsaw Puzzles! On the main menu, you'll notice a new button which allows you to play each puzzle as a sliding puzzle. In sliding puzzle mode, you click each piece to move it inside the game area. However, you can only move one piece at a time. It's quite a challenge! In addition, I have fixed a small bug with the 'restart' feature. Now, all puzzle pieces are shuffled correctly when a puzzle is restarted mid-game. This is a new game mode and I'm still improving it. Please tell me any problems you have, or any suggestions on how to make it better. Enjoy!
- 1.2.6 - Puzzle Piece Style Options - 9 May 2023
I've introduced a new feature, which aims to improve the aesthetic of the puzzle pieces. We can now choose between dark and light outlines for the puzzle pieces. The default has been changed to the new, darker colour. Set your preference in the options menu. Let me know if you like this new feature!
- 1.2.5 - Save & Load Puzzle Feature - 8 May 2023
I'm pleased to announce a useful new feature! When you exit an incomplete puzzle, the pieces' positions will automatically be saved. You can choose to continue any puzzle later, from the game's main menu. I have conducted initial testing myself and it seems to work fine. Please let me know if you have any problems with it. Let's solve some fantasy puzzles!
