Just going to preface this by saying that I haven't played the original Picross 3D so I can't compare this game against that one.
This is a solid 3D take on Picross, the modifications to the rules to make it work with cubes rather than squares work out quite well. I also appreciate that there are multiple difficulty levels for each puzzle to accomodate different skill levels or, in my case, different degrees of "I want to go ham" or "I want to take it a little easier."
My only real complaint is that this game uses "Mario rules" (i.e. immediate alert and penalties for missing) as opposed to Free/"Wario" rules (no penalties, but fix the mistakes yourself), but given the nature of working with 3D shapes as opposed to 2D grids, having to use the former ruleset is inevitable.
