Pretty standard jigsaw game, overall it was playable and I clearly got more than enough hours out of it for the price.
Rating positive as I enjoyed the story and extra bits to the game, however there's a few things I'd change:
- Ability to snap pieces together separately from the board. Currently you can only place a single piece 1 by 1 onto the board in the correct place.
- The way the screen moves with your mouse on the cut scenes/bonus puzzles is... weird. I love that you can see even more of the puzzle after you've finished it, it's a really great touch, but I think the mouse sensitivity is a bit too high and just doesn't work imo.
- Volume settings aren't remembered when you quit the game, so you have to mute every time you start up the game if you wanted it muted.
- The game should auto-shuffle the pieces at the very start and not just let them sit in their correct places on the board. You can basically just click each piece 1 by 1 and not even do the jigsaws (easy achievements basically). It could also be a bit confusing to some when it just sits there. I think it being complete at the start is cool, but yeah defo auto-shuffle after a few seconds.
- Needs a tad bit more room around the board to lay out your pieces, there's *just* not enough space for all pieces on the biggest size jigsaws.
- As others have mentioned (and I'm not sure why it hasn't been fixed?), on the left hand side there's a pretty massive area where you can't move pieces from. So they're basically stuck unless you shuffle - which as you can guess, just puts different pieces in that area. You basically have to let them sit there until the end and keep shuffling until they're not in that area so you can actually move/place them. I got used to it after a while but it's a silly bug that could be easily fixed.
Overall the game is playable as a jigsaw game with great pictures and cute story. Defo recommend (unless the above things are a game-breaker for you).

Kombi Travels is a jigsaw puzzle game about a very long road trip. Beat the 'Kid' and 'Relax' modes in 2.2 hours (it'll take a lot longer to do the modes higher than that) using a mouse. Difficulty depends on what mode you set it at.
- If life's got you stressing out and in dire need of a break, this'd be a good game for that. It's relaxing and pleasant to look at.
- There are 6 picture levels, with two (or more) bonus mini levels.
- There are 5 challenge modes per level.
- Each picture, once finished, has more to explore and admire beyond its borders. You can zoom in, zoom out, and take a photo of the pictures once completed.
- You can change the background outside of the border to see all puzzle pieces or if one color is too hard on your eyes. This is very nice. Thank you.
- The couple driving the van go places and see things. Each pic is different and there's enough variety to make the trip (and the puzzles) worthwhile.
- The music is nice and the pieces make a sound every time you grab and place them. However I had a weird issue with the music not starting until halfway into some puzzles, or the music was oddly quiet. Going to assume this is a temporary glitch because the developers have been on top of fixing bugs in the community forums.
- Sometimes I had a hard time grabbing a piece on the middle-to-upper left side. I think it's related to the pull out volume menu on the left side phantom blocking the pieces. Being stubborn enough helps, and sometimes I could click and drag the pieces just outside of them So that was a weird bug but negotiable. Vaguely remember having this problem with other games from the same developer, too.
If you're stressed out, like jigsaw puzzles, or like long distance road trips, Kombi Travels is a good game for you. It's entirely worth 2 bucks and there are plenty of modes to piece together. Vroom!

Wonderfully relaxing puzzle with good mechanics and beautiful, warm, soft art and music. I love the theme and the story it tells, it makes me want to jump in my car and go somewhere. I have experienced just one problem in that the top left edge (where the pieces are laid before completion) is a little sticky sometimes and won't release the pieces. It requires me to rearrange and then they become available. Highly recommended for those who like jigsaw puzzle games.

Really a step up from the previous puzzle game.
There are some bugs, but overall it's a neat puzzle game. Not hard to 100% it.

Hey psst! Have you ever wanted to do ALL 6 + 2 Bonus puzzles in 5 modes in/around 30 minutes? WELL NOW YOU CAN!
With this game you can feel like a PRO that you are and even get ALL 42 achievements... WITHIN THOSE 30 min!
"How is this possible...? I am not THAT good at puzzles..." Well... Neither am I! But! If you select an image and choose a mode (any mode) -> The image is ALREADY COMPLETE... Then you just remove one piece and stick it back. Then you go back to the "selection/home page" and click the SAME MODE on the SAME PUZZLE... Once you enter: You have now completed that mode and got that puzzle done!
"But um... Sometimes there is one puzzle piece that's missing and it's not on the screen...?" I couldn't find one in one of the puzzles either, so I... Used "re-shuffle"... Re-shuffle shuffles ALL, except for the ones you already "glued on"... Which means you will find that missing piece... Because it will MAGICALLY APPEAR!
Bonus games -> I have to say... This will require a test of your patience. For one... You have to build a road... It's super EASY! You don't have to go far... Just DRAG the pieces near the road onto the road! The problem? It's the same thing over and over again and the road is lengthy...
The second Bonus Puzzle is BRIGHTER and MISTIER! But it's shorter... So if you did the first one (sorry, persevered like an animal that you are!) then this one will be somewhat of a blessing... Except for that fog...!
ALSO... For those who know how to do these puzzles... Manually... THERE IS NO BINDING FEATURE. SO... If you have one piece and YOU DAMN WELL know that the second piece fits with it...? IT WONT STICK TOGETHER! Pieces ONLY stick to the board in the middle! WAH!
Now there are other Achievements except for puzzles. Just look at the images of the said Achievement... That's how I figured things out.
Also... I am not sure why this is the hardest to obtain achievement but... The "Take photo 7 times"...? Just "finish" or finish a puzzle and click the camera. THEN F12 it! It might take more than 7 times... For me it took 12 lol.
I agree with this game! The road trip was an easy, breezy blast of air and I traveled so far in such a good amount of time! The puzzles only show you a small amount of an image until you complete it that is!
