Mizi NO! is a free to play jigsaw game that is based around putting items that are damaged back together. The main character in the game is a cat called Mizi who has a tendency to drop various items which are breakable.
On paper it is a jigsaw game that is about Mizi who has a tendency to drop various items (at least in the base version). Then when Mizi has dropped them it is your job to put them together again. The game uses bright colours throughout the game. It also isn’t just about colour, as the game uses an art style that would be great for a children’s story book. However, even though on face value it looks like it is for children. Despite this I feel the game isn’t strictly for children. Even if this game is very child friendly.
Gameplay wise, this game is a jigsaw game where each item is the jigsaw. I like this as it is unique with the ‘jigsaw’ being the item you are building. It also separates this game from other jigsaw games as it is unique with the shape of the jigsaws. With the game itself, you get to see Mizi drop the item before it smashes in to pieces.
From this introduction to the level, you know what the item you are supposed to be rebuilding. You then have to rebuild the item from the bits and pieces dropped. Even though this does make the game sound tough it is easier than it sounds.
This is because the game does each jigsaw into a reasonable enough size. Puzzle wise, each jigsaw is less than 50 pieces. This does make the game accessible to those who are on the younger size or may struggle with jigsaw games. Size wise the jigsaws do have some pieces that are small with other pieces that are larger in size.
I appreciate that the jigsaws are on the smaller size for its target audience. However, I would have liked the game to have an option to have puzzles to have a smaller or larger amount of pieces on offer. I say this as I would imagine that toddlers would be playing this game and having 20+ pieces maybe a bit much for some. I also would have like a bit of challenge for experienced jigsaw fans such as myself. But this game is better than many other jigsaw games on offer. This is because the game does allow you to stick pieces that go together when placed together. I like this as other jigsaw games (such as the pixel puzzle series) fail to do this.
In short, I can recommend this game as it is a fun and charming game to play on. However, this game is also short as it is about 1 hour long for the base version. You also don’t need to buy any extra packs to get all the achievements. However, if you want to get the extra levels to support the developer I would suggest doing so. Since, each pack is an extension of this game. With each expansion offering a different style of item such as pattern based or plain items.
