Hello fellow Steam Gifters,

2 months ago I shared my first project here with you, from which I got an amazing comments and feedback. Thanks to you, I implemented some of the suggestions and will work on it more when I get more free time (its on pause at the moment).

I joined SteamGifts 10 years ago and even though I wasn't an active contributor through those years I still visited it almost everyday to check out the discussions to see what's happening. One of my favorite things here were the puzzle giveaways. I have solved many and have created a few on ItsTooHard as well. Sadly as many of you know, ItsTooHard doesn't exist anymore and because of that, in my last project discussion I promised that I will create something similar, so the puzzle creators can continue making fun puzzles for invite only SG giveaways in them.

So today, I am presenting to you the alpha version of my 2nd public project: 2Solve.Me - web application for solving and creating your own jigsaw and quiz puzzles.

Current features list:

Jigsaw Puzzles:

  • Creating jigsaw game puzzles with custom image, custom number of horizontal and vertical pieces, custom solved/winning message
  • Unique URL for every jigsaw, it can be public or private.
  • Can be played by everybody (currently not keeping track by who and when it was solved)
  • Game Controls:
    • Left Mouse Click - Moving the jigsaw pieces
    • Right Mouse Click - Moving the camera
    • Mouse Scroll - Zoom In/Out
    • Mouse Scroll Click - Reset Camera Position in Center
    • Left Side Panel: Timer, Changing of the background color, Reset Puzzle, View Source Image & Source Link
  • Save the position of the jigsaw pieces
  • Leaderboards
  • [Coming soon] Pause option
  • [Coming soon] Mobile support

Keep in mind that this is work in progress and there will be bugs, with time I plan to fix everything and polish it, even add more puzzle games, depending if there will be interest in it. This is a hobby project, so I am working on it when I have free time, mostly on the weekends.

If you have any feedback, suggestions, ideas and what to implement next, please share them with me, I will be happy to hear them and make the site better.

Edit: Fixed some of the game breaking bugs, please clear the browser cache/session and refresh the page.
Will try to improve the performance of the jigsaw on older computers. The jigsaw game has some problems on Firefox, it's is working for some people and for some people still not, I am working on fixing this issue.

Hey, not sure what you have in mind, new puzzle types ?
Not sure if there is enough interest for future development.
If you mean about the expired SSL certificate, i will fix it soon, i am already paying server expenses, so i am using free SSL certificates to save money.

I mean someone here posted not so long ago about having problems logging in and yeah that certificate - it would be great if the website was updated. It's a great altenative to sadly retired Itstoohard :)
