  • It is fun to play with others with this game

  • Fun, it's a good idea to play jigsaw online with others together

  • Somebody ban me forever on this game, even at my best I am sabotaging other's game.

  • Woah, great concept but too many cooks in the kitchen. Lots going on and it would benefit smaller lobbies. Otherwise awesome.

  • Ya may need multiple rooms, capped at some number of users.

  • The game does not work - I do not see any puzzle pieces

  • Sorry, hit some cloudflare limits faster than I thought would happen. Working now.

  • Nice concept. 6 people, it was fun, 18 people, not so much. Can't imagine a few hundreds, prolly pure chaos.

    Maybe different people seeing different pieces from different sides would help with the chaos, idk.

  • Ya I was thinking maybe cap it at 12 people, and then if you join it starts fresh as level 0?

  • I love it so much, it felt really good when I placed my first piece :). There are some technical issues, the UI and controls could be better, but it definitely was fun, and that's what really matters!

  • Thanks! If you have any suggestions please let me know!

  • I checked your game the day before yesterday, and there were quite a few people online. But when I looked today, barely anyone’s playing. Also, last time I viewed the puzzle sequence, I’d already looped all the way to the third puzzle. Today I opened it, and it’s reset back to the very first one.

  • Please talk about the development. How long did it take you? Language/framework? 100% agentic (if so, which LLMs did you use, and for what)?

  • It's about 90% vibe coded with claude opus 4.8 (and now 5).

  • Fun, but suggestion - don't let the nametags cover the piece area. Very frustrating to not even be able to see the pieces because people are hovering their cursors there.

  • I love art, and I have a particular weakness for the style of art you're using for the project. Not sure if you'd give a fig, but I have bookmarked it just to watch. I guess there will always be something new, and live humans are there, organizing the image in real time. As an outlier and unintended fan, I appreciate your work.

    Edit: I should say that I left films such as Arrietty and other Japanimations (Kaguya, Fireflies Grave, Spirited Away) I can't recall, wanting to return and stay there. I guess on occasion, this might help.

  • Nice job. How are you handling outpainting? Outside of using an open-weight model, I imagine it's going to get pretty expensive quickly with something like NB or GPT-Image.

    Feedback:

    Add an option to hide user tags and only show the different colored mouse cursors otherwise the view will probably get cluttered quickly.

  • Right now it's AI with a human doing the curation. I'll def have to figure out how to do it just with AI, as the current user load is going to finish all the pre-baked levels in the next 30 minutes.
