How it feels

A calm jigsaw puzzle is abruptly interrupted by frantic zombie attacks, forcing you to multitask between fitting pieces and setting up defenses to survive.

What players say

Players describe it as a unique but janky mix of jigsaw puzzles and zombie tower defense. The concept of solving puzzles while defending against waves of zombies is praised, but reviews consistently cite frustrating bugs with piece selection and clunky controls. Some note that a mini-game and its associated achievements were removed, leaving them unable to fully complete the game.
