X-plosive JigSaw Puzzles Pro is a Windows game designed with the professional puzzle player in mind. Trough this game I tried to offer you all the tools a professional game should offer. I'll also introduce you some new tools, never seen before in other games. To get all the details please read the features section.
X-plosive JigSaw Puzzles Pro allows you to cut any JPEG image (even your own image) into a realistic jigsaw puzzle that you can later reassemble. You can choose from 400 beautiful jigsaw puzzles available online and 54 piece cutting styles, with more or less chaos when generating them. Just look at the screenshoths by clicking the puzzle pieces to the right.
This game has everything a complete jigsaw puzzle game should have: a small picture of the jigsaw puzzle, a real-size ghost(transparent) image, a usefull loupe, a scattering tool for jigsaw pieces, an arranging tool, three-state pins that even stick themselves when you place the piece on the ghost and even a cheating tool.
Some features that make this game unique:- the wide working area that will give you room to breathe even if you have a lot of pieces
- the excellent scrolling system that allows you to scroll by dragging the background (real easy)
- the three-state pins are really useful and easy to handle (difficult to explain in words, you have to see it)
- the loupe doesn't follow the mouse annoying you every step of the way; it sits tight in its spot
- you get a lot of add-on jigsaw puzzles at no additional cost (a total of 400 jigsaw puzzles)
- And since the Pro version is sometimes too overwhelming for beginners I split it into two versions: the Lite version and this Pro version. If you are playing a jigsaw puzzle game for the first time and you aren't looking for any exquisite features I suggest that you should try the Lite version first.

- Drop it next to its counterpart and they will snap together.
- To rotate a piece, click using the right mouse button.
- To scroll, drag the background using the right mouse button.
- An extremely useful feature my game has is the wide working area. The working area is much larger than the screen size. To scroll trough the entire working area drag the background holding down the right mouse button or click on the side scroll buttons.
For extra spice, try the available tools, especially the ghost image, the small picture and the auto-pin. The Ghost and the SmallPic can be toggled on/off by clicking on their toolbar button; the auto-pin can be toggled on/off by clicking on the "Auto-Pin" button. Auto-pinning means that when you will drop a jigsaw puzzle piece in its exact place on the ghost the piece will be pinned automatically.
When you finished playing the all the jigsaw puzzles in the game check out the game updates section for more jigsaw puzzle packs, new environments, more backgrounds or game updates. All add-ons to this game are free!
