Hello Illustrated players! This is a big update focused on performance and accessibility. Here's what's new...
Major performance improvements... This should fix issue where some players were experiencing crashes on older iPads and Macs, and excessive battery consumption when playing for longer periods of time.
Background sketch merged option... Now if you prefer, you can merge the illustration and story mode sketch layers in the background together, showing the full sketch as a whole. You will still be able to toggle between illustration and story modes!
Piece placement highlights... For a purer, more challenging puzzle experience, you can now disable the highlights that show where the piece will be placed.
Left-handed mode... The pieces tray now can be moved to the left side of the screen when playing on iOS devices in landscape orientation. This setting can be enabled or disabled in the settings menu.
Puzzle piece responsiveness... We've improved touch responsiveness when picking up pieces from the tray or game board.
Puzzle piece sketch layer control... We call this "Sketch Mode" in Patterned, and it's now available here in Illustrated! Now you can disable the progressive sketch appearance within puzzle pieces, showing only the full-color image all the time.
Puzzle piece opacity... We've increased the minimum amount of color that is shown on puzzle pieces the puzzle starts. This will help piece visibility and detection for many puzzles that have backgrounds with only subtle differences in color and texture.
Other miscellaneous improvements and fixes.

The Best!
I have been loving this puzzle game since it came out. It's funny, because I've never been huge on putting puzzles together, but this has really gotten me interested in finding some to put together physically. And it's amazing for many reasons, each puzzle starting off black and white, and as the pieces are put together, the colors begin to slowly come into the piece, the words on the art become darker and clearer, it not only provides a wonderful atmosphere, you feel a sense of satisfaction, as well.
The art is lovely and colorful, the music is beautiful and relaxing, and since there is no timer nor any sort of rushing, this game is so relaxing. I have integrated putting at least one puzzle together into my daily routine as I wind down. But most of the time I will wind up putting 3-5 together while getting ready for bed. It is relaxing and addictive.
If you have apple arcade, this is absolutely a no-brainer and a must-have in everybody's library. I have it on my phone and my computer, but I'd much rather play it on my computer, it's a little easier to see.

Bonnye,
Love it!
Really enjoying the lovely art, stories and act of working on puzzles!
Very confused by some of the negative reviews. You can easily switch between the picture and the story, yet some claimed you can’t. This is covered in the tutorial. Also some are saying you are just going by the image outline to put in pieces, so it’s “not like doing a real puzzle” but in the same review they are complaining that edge pieces can’t be filtered out (which isn’t done for you when doing a real puzzle). Anyway, I’ve found that only the edge needs to be completed with the guide. If you don’t switch to the middle / story view you can simply fill in the center as you would with a normal puzzle, the background guide doesn’t fill in as you fill the puzzle. It would be cool to turn off the guide altogether, going in blind! Something to consider for the developers. :) I do agree with one reviewer’s stance that a lefty mode would be nice, allowing you to switch where the pieces you pull from are. I’ve managed just fine without it but I’m all for a smoother lefty experience!

Utterly Ridiculous Upgrade,
Dreamland - Level 14 Force Closes
This game is incredible!!! I love the concept of matching puzzle pieces to the black and white picture. With your new options, I choose to leave the text out and just complete the puzzle and watch the color slowly fading in. I feel this is more challenging than matching the text. When I turn this option off, however, the text is removed from the puzzle but not the puzzle pieces. Is there any way to turn this off as well?
Unfortunately, I am having trouble with Dreamland, Level 14, whereby it is force closing on me. I have tried working on this puzzle numerous times, but continue having this problem. I hope there is a way to fix this issue. I even did a soft reboot, which did not help. Will you please let me know what I can do? I miss playing this game and want to move forward.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you

Lyon Dalton,
Wow! Great art! Frustrating puzzle experience!
REVISED: I increased my one star rating to 3 stars after the latest update. Still needed: 1) Get rid of text entirely except when puzzle is finished; 2) show full puzzle ghosted as in Patterned; 3) add smaller puzzle piece option. ORIGINAL: I am SO disappointed with the lack of playability! You hide most of the puzzle in picture mode. And Word mode is a bust - Who wants to put a puzzle of only words together - it’s MIND NUMBING! The words should only reveal themselves when you finish the puzzle. The magic is in the gorgeous illustrations but what a awkward puzzle app! You can’t see anything but the edges in picture mode - w h y ? Word mode is too dark to see the picture underneath. It’s like you thought and thought and thought about how to make the most irritating experience possible and then unleashed it on the poor Arcade players for kicks. No lock button? It should lock by design! I scrolled through the wonderful illustrations and mourned that they weren’t in a better designed app. I hope you come to your senses and scrap the word mode entirely - it’s boring beyond belief!
seaph09,
Clunky play for lefties. Needs to be more customizable.
I am no stranger to puzzle games, but despite the beautiful artwork and relaxing music, I don’t crave playing it like my other puzzle apps. I realized the reason is because the gameplay is awkward. As a lefty selecting a piece from the right side, my hand is covering the space to which I’m trying to line up the piece. Please add a setting allow the dock to be moved to the left. Also, provide an option to sort the pieces so that edges can be completed first. I find switching between modes disruptive. Finally, an ability to remove the story text and read it after completing the puzzle would be appreciated. While the text does help with lining up pieces, I would rather look at the pretty artwork unobscured. I will check back occasionally to see if any of these requests have been implemented. There’s a lot of potential here. I’d love to be able to bump my score up to 5 stars.
RedRocket131,
Meh, it could be a lot better
You can’t filter the pieces by edges & not edges and all you’re doing is matching the puzzle piece to the picture. It’s definitely not like putting a real puzzle together. There’s a MUCH better puzzle app in the arcade that is more like a real puzzle. You can change the # of pieces you want the puzzle to be, you can do all the edges 1st and build from there, you’re not matching pieces to a picture, you can zoom in & out, it’s just a much better puzzle app all around. It would be helpful if the developer of this app played with the other jigsaw puzzle app in the arcade call Jigsaw Puzzle+ just to get some ideas b/c this app has the potential to be a great puzzle app, the pictures are beautiful, prettier than the other app but right now it’s not quite what I’m looking for in a jigsaw puzzle. I’ll stick to the other app for now & check back on this one in a couple of months.
Yamamax,
Could Be Enjoyable
The art works are beautiful. Enjoy the background music. I like the option to switch the mode between pictures and words. It would be more enjoyable and relaxing if it was not so glitchy. The puzzle pieces are difficult to select. I am using an iPad and when attempting to select a piece, i have to attempt 3-4 times before the piece will actually move. Then most of the times the actual puzzle moves around and resizes itself while attempting to place the piece on the puzzle. i will have to stop on puzzle 4 because it is sooo frustrating and not really enjoyable. Would appreciate it to know when these glitches get fixed when or if they do. Otherwise, would not recommend especially for a child ( you might end up with an ipad or iPhone fly pass you as it gets tossed.)
Krusnik Abel,
Controls are very cumbersome
First I want to say what a great implementation of a puzzle game. It is actually challenging and fun to work through puzzles plus the amazing artwork is just so good!! Now for the negative, the controls are pretty bad. Scrolling through the puzzle pieces while trying not to pick up every one you accidentally touch is quite frustrating. Pulling pieces from the bar to place on the puzzle is really tedious, if you don’t get a match the first time out you have to start all over. Drag the piece back to the bar and start again, the reason is because the second time around you have to fight the floating puzzle board all while not able to see the piece because it resides under your finger. Just a suggestion, maybe include a button isolates and locks certain objects from being acted upon.
bblue1230,
Please Help!!! Not Loading & Don’t Want To Lose Progress!!!
I tried playing today and suddenly it’s not working. It loads like normal then I get the black screen where it tells me “Continuing Puzzle…” like it would when it’s loading the last puzzle you were working on except it stays there with the music playing in the background and won’t load any further. I’m so bummed because I’ve tried turning my phone off twice and it still does it. I’ve been playing this game for so long now and it’s my absolute FAVORITE!!! I’ve completed so many different series and I’ve been working on a series with 30 puzzles in it and I’m so afraid that if I have to delete the app and download it again, I will lose all my progress and achievements. I really hope that no one else is having the same issue.
Does anyone know if I will lose all my progress or how to fix this without ruining everything???
