It's likely that simpler, stylistic graphics would ultimately work better, but these are by no means awful. Just perhaps a bit noisy for your puzzles with the candy pictures. You weren't at all wrong to experiment with graphics, even if they don't ultimately fit this game as well as they might a different kind of game. :)\r\rThe puzzles themselves are very good! The mechanic of having some switch to squares works nicely. We have to work out if it's necessary, and if so, on what piece or pieces. Full marks for Fun :)\r\rThanks for sharing this!
