This digital format allowed players to enjoy the puzzle-solving experience without the need for physical space or worry about losing pieces.

The game offers puzzles with varying numbers of pieces, catering to both beginners and experienced puzzle solvers. This scalability in difficulty allows players to choose a level that matches their skill and desired challenge, making the game accessible and enjoyable for a wide range of players.

The game features a variety of images to assemble, ranging from landscapes and animals to more abstract designs. This variety not only adds visual interest but also caters to different preferences, keeping the gameplay experience fresh and engaging. The images are rendered with a clarity and color that make the digital jigsaw puzzle both enjoyable and aesthetically pleasing.

The interface of Electric Jigsaw is straightforward and user-friendly. Players can easily move and rotate pieces with simple mouse controls, making the game accessible even to those who are not familiar with computer games. The intuitive design ensures that the focus remains on the puzzle-solving experience, without unnecessary complications.

While Electric Jigsaw did not boast high-end graphics or complex gameplay mechanics typical of other games from the 1990s, it was appreciated for its simplicity and the mental relaxation it offered. It was an early example of how traditional games could be translated into a digital format, paving the way for the myriad of digital puzzle games that would follow.
