Hello hello!
We're pleased to present a brand new free feature update!
This new free update provides an awesome set of tools that allows you to create as many gradient puzzles as you like, with any colors you can think of, and is of course fully compatible with multiplayer.
Because of how the gradients are created it means that they will have infinite detail. This means that no matter what size puzzle you create, the color transitions will be smoooth.
These screenshots show off an example of an 8,000 piece puzzle. Even with a super large puzzle like this there are no artifacts or imperfections that normal static images could have due to resolution or image quality etc.
To get started just go to Select New Puzzle, then look for the new Gradient Maker button in the list:
There's multiple options for creating gradients, Grid and Stripes, each with their own unique settings that allows for lots of experimentation.
Grid type Gradients
Edit colors for 8 points that blend around this gradient type. Each point can be toggled on or off to offer even more possibilities.
Stripe type Gradients
Add as many stripes as you want with up to 16 colors per stripe. Add multiple colors to blend between, or try non-blended single colors for an extra challenge
You can use Stripe Blend to create unique gradients between Stripes, or set to 0 for hard edges
Make your puzzles as wide or tall as you'd like!
Once you've created your perfected gradients, you can save them as a preset. We've also of course included a wide range of default presets so that you can get right to puzzling. These can also be edited to easily adjust colors and settings to your liking.
