Solving a jigsaw puzzle is a pastime that
has survived for generations and may well
continue to see its appeal in to the future
as fans of the simple time-waster test their
observation skills to match and piece together
beautiful images one jagged piece at a time.
Blueprint 3D by FDG Mobile Games pushes the
limits of the concept by taking imagery and
blowing it up in to dozens, if not hundreds
of fragments ballooned out in to a 3D space
and it's up to you to reassemble it in mere
seconds.
Sounds impossible?
Thankfully the order of the pieces are already
figured out for you, but you'll still need
to rotate and spin the 3D mess in order to
bring to focus the 2D image you're after.
This is easier said than done as pieces are
also skewed and twisted to conform to only
one specific perspective, making it hard to
simply swipe around to cheat the system.
It's a masterfully considered puzzle concept
with a simple control scheme of swiping to
spin and double-touch twisting to rotate the
perspective accordingly.
Stars are awarded for the speed in which you
can align the fragments correctly and with
over 240 puzzles currently available there's
a lot to conquer.
Part of what makes Blueprint 3D challenging
is your own familiarity with a variety of
objects.
Each category picks a handful of common and
somewhat uncommon sights, making it hard to
realize whether or not you're even close to
solving a puzzle until it locks in and gives
you your final score.
With continued support from FDG, Blueprint
3D could have truly amazing longevity as you
constantly jump in to new categories of images
set to stump you.
Though even without this, the game is immediately
engaging and rewarding and a definite must
have for casual and puzzle gamers alike.
