Puzzles are a very popular game since they can help people to relax, enhance their memory and attention, and so on. This program has a set of several puzzles for you to solve. At startup, the application shows all the puzzles available. Once you have chosen the one you want to solve, a settings menu will appear. You can set the shape of the pieces, and if you want the program to scatter the pieces by color, which will make things easier, or to do it at random, which adds some diffuculty. Also, it is possible to select the amount of pieces and if you want to view the image in color (easier) or in black and white (difficult). The original image will be shown in the background. If the solved part hides the image, you can switch to it by double-clicking on the empty space. Also, if you right-click on the puzzle, a menu will appear, allowing you to change the settings according to your taste.
Maybe the main disadvantage of the program is that there are some free or ad-based puzzle games that are very similar to this one. Nevertheless, its cost is affordable and it gives you access to an extra set of 12 puzzles.
In the evaluation mode, some of the puzzles can be solved only in part. If you want to get rid of this limitation, then you will need to purchase a license.

Option for disabling capture of the images in the Clipboard. This way the program will not interrupt if you are working on other programs (but puzzles can still be created with the option "Create Puzzle")

* Never cheating mode: Press Control+F12 to access that option. From then on the puzzles will run not allowing cheats (autosolve, etc)
* New mode of gift puzzles: The program can generate the puzzle file only, without software, so it can be attached to emails with no problems (email services that reject executable files for security measures).
The receivers of the puzzles will need to install the "puzzle engine software" by downloading at http://www.brainsbreaker.com/gift (it's the complete BrainsBreaker program that will recognize when opening one of such puzzle gift files)
