Picross 3D: Round 2

About

Carve through stacked blocks in three dimensions to uncover hidden images. Each puzzle locks away a shape that you expose by solving numerical clues. The second iteration adds two-color painting layers for more complex designs. Use the 3DS touch screen to erase sections and watch shapes emerge layer by layer. The single player mode focuses on gradual progression through increasingly tricky challenges. Over 300 puzzles are available at the Cafe with additional challenges from amiibo figures. The tactile block-chipping feels satisfyingly precise. Players note the steady difficulty curve and the way color layers add depth to solutions. A portable puzzle fix with a fresh twist on the picross formula. Metacritic users average it at 82.
