Open Pixel Puzzles

Open Pixel Puzzles is a free pixel art jigsaw puzzle game. Whether you're a fan of pixel art looking for an excuse to examine pieces up close or a jigsaw puzzle fan looking for a digital option, Open Pixel Puzzles aims to please.

The game is still in an early WIP state, with only 1 puzzle available. The demo is still fully-playable and well polished though, give it a shot!

Controls

Currently this game can only be operated with the mouse:

• Left Click & Drag: Pick up a piece or group of connected pieces, release to drop
• Right Click & Drag: Pick up a single piece (breaking any connections it has), release to drop
• Scroll Wheel: Zoom in / out

When the puzzle area is larger than the window, you can also pan the view by clicking and dragging the middle mouse button.

More control options will be added in future releases.

Long-Term Goals

Since this game is still WIP, there's a lot that I'd like to add to it. I can make no guarantees, but here are some of the things I'd currently like to add in future releases:

• Many more puzzles (of course)
• Support for more advanced puzzle types. Circular puzzles, shaped puzzles, funky piece shapes, compound puzzles, animated puzzles...
• Piece organization tools
• Autosave
• A built-in puzzle creator allowing players to create and share their own puzzles
• Support for UI skins / resource packs
• Keyboard and gamepad controls
• Mobile / tablet support

How Free Is This Game?

These days, it's common to see "Free" games that are making money through ads, data collection, micro-transactions, etc. Open Pixel Puzzles is not one of those games. This game is a labor of love, created purely for others to enjoy. There is no revenue model at all, just fun to be had.

Moreover, Open Pixel Puzzles isn't just free to download and play--this game's code and assets are available for use under open licenses, making it a piece of free culture. You are encouraged to share this game, mod it, or use any piece of it you need elsewhere... The project can be found at https://codeberg.org/HuguesRoss/Open-Pixel-Puzzles, along with more detailed licenses for each of its component parts. You don't have to, but I'd love to hear from you if you use this in your own project!
