It's a better way to communicate with all of you together, to speak to all of you about the franchise as a whole rather than across many different game forums that are more specific to each title.
We can then announce special events, giveaways, free puzzles, in game activities, holiday stuff, new packs, upcoming projects and everything else for all games in one place making it much easier for you to find out what's going on in the world of Pixel Puzzles.
And the best part, we can build a community together, full of puzzlers that share the same passion we do for jigsaws and the endless fun they bring to us all ːUltimatePieceː
We'll be doing giveaways there too, so keep an eye out ːgoldenbitː
Containing only traditional piece shapes, this iteration of the Pixel Puzzles franchise is for you puzzlers that prefer to solve a classical jigsaw ːgoldenpieceː
Pixel Puzzles Traditional will give you the same smooth puzzling experience with all the same rich features and customization options you have available in PP:Ultimate and have come to expect from a full fledged Pixel Puzzles title.
An alternative to the intricate and sometimes wild puzzle cuts of PP:Ultimate, Pixel Puzzles Traditional will scratch the itch for those wanting more nostalgic classical jigsaw puzzles to complete.
Whilst keeping within the bounds of a classic jigsaw style, every puzzle made will still be a one of a kind cut, continuing the tradition that has been a staple of the series since it's inception.
FREE TO PLAY
The game will be free for everyone to enjoy and additional packs will be available to purchase with a variety of different themes and pack sizes.
There will be 5 initial free puzzle packs in the game at launch with a total of 12 free puzzles, with more to be added periodically.
Flash Puzzles will also be freely available to all of you to take part in and enjoy (more below).
BETA WEEKEND
The game releases this coming Monday on 18/Nov/2019.
Yes, this is indeed very short notice ːenlightenedoneː
The announcement and beta was planned to happen at the beginning of this month, but we needed extra time to smooth out a few things and sometimes things just jump in the way. We didn't want to announce too soon as we had no idea how far set back we would be, thankfully not too bad.
Regardless of a completely botched release schedule with this title, we'd still really love to give you guys a few early days to try it out and give us some feedback. Our constant interaction together here in the steam forums is what has helped shape this series into what it is today ːHintTokenː
Most everything is done, a few things will be added for release like buttons for leaderboards and re-shuffling of theme music and such, but everything else should be working correctly so please report any issues you come across HERE.
When is the beta?
NOW!
Email me and I will send you a key ((( beta [at] pixelpuzzles .co .uk )))
Check spam folders if you don't receive a key.
If you can paste these few questions into the email with answers we'd be grateful.
Steam username.
What is your favorite pack in PP:Ultimate?
What is your preferred piece count to solve?
Do you prefer the classical or the intricate puzzle cuts?
FLASH PUZZLES
Flash puzzles will pop up from time to time, and you'll have X amount of time to complete them. we'll send out announcements at the time they go live.
You can think of these as similar to PP:Ultimate's monthly challenges without the restraint of the monthly factor, allowing us to do more of them and for more events and holidays.
You will acquire a unique Flash Puzzle Badge for every one you complete.
Flash Puzzles won't be tied to achievements and once they are gone they are GONE!
There will also be a special Leaderboard associated with the number of Flash Badges collected, for all of you competitive puzzlers.
Yes, of course there's a special beta Flash Puzzle on right now till Monday ːgoldenpuzzlepieceː
BUT ...ULTIMATE?
Again, I want to stress for all the people who love PP:Utimate, you're still getting new puzzle packs, free Kiosk updates, additional bonus puzzles, holiday special puzzles, nothing will change and you're still going to find a new challenge puzzle on the first of every month at some random time in the day ːUltimatePieceː
Advent Calendar .....on the 1st of DECEMBER, don't forget to mark it on your real calendars ːchristmashatː
A kiosk update is also planned for December, stay tuned...
LASTLY
Since the Pixel Puzzles franchise as a whole has grown into it's own thing, we think it's time to slowly split Pixel Puzzles off from DL Softworks and into it's own company. Nothing has changed behind the scenes but going forward things will start to migrate to "The Digital Puzzle Company".
Ask away.....
Come join us for some BETA puzzling.
