Jigsaw Puzzle

The Jigsaw Puzzle template is an engaging game where players move jigsaw pieces into their correct positions by tapping and dragging them. Pieces will automatically snap into place when they’re close to the correct spot. While recording, the snap count will increase. The game concludes with a celebratory confetti effect once all pieces are correctly placed!
