Pieces is a new take on Jigsaw puzzles by mixing it with Tetris. Players take pieces of a jigsaw and fit them into the proper outlines on the puzzle to form a picture. Players can compete in the Jigsaw Mode which allows up to five friends to compete against each other, by taking turns, in a race against time depending upon the difficulty setting (four total). Players can also compete against the computer, complete with power-ups that can help the player such as "Sweeper" which takes away half of their opponents completed puzzle. There are eight different categories of puzzles to choose from ranging from sports themes to global locations, each with eight puzzles ranging 36 to 60 pieces in size.

So good it makes me want to hook a fight stick up so that my left thumb doesn't explode like a second act car chase finale. The capacity for violence inherent in what is, on the surface, a jigsaw-based arcade puzzler is an incredible feat, an act of life-destroying malice that makes sense when you realize it comes from the people who would go on to make Disgaea.

Thrill as you bite your lip in genuine rage when your ostensible best friend uses the brush powerup to continuously invalidate your hard work. Laugh as you push a button and get the CPU to tag team them with the help powerup, knowing they cannot possibly come back. Weep as you try All Play on Type C and are physically incapable of distinguishing which borderline identical snippets of pure white waterfall foam are fake pieces while praying to a god you don't believe in that the bonus piece bestows a precious additional thirty seconds. Later, dial your therapist upon realizing the bonus piece was a fake.

I didn't expect to enjoy this game as much as I did. Fun to go against the computer players and against the timer. Of all the masteries I've achieved on RetroAchievements, this was probably the most fun to go through.
