Add in the ability to pick up bits and place them anywhere on the touch screen, and you'll quickly find that strategy is critical to your success. By clearing the bits, you gradually reveal each stage's hidden game character - look for favorites from classic NES titles - and earn coins that can be spent to unlock DARK stages or to listen to the game's soundtrack in MUSIC mode. This grand mix of familiar elements and new game play leads to the uniquely enjoyable experience that is PiCTOBiTS. [Nintendo]… Expand

    Art Style: PiCTOBiTS is easily one of the best entries thus far in the Art Style series, and is without a doubt one of the best games currently available in the DSi Shop. Players looking for a fun but challenging title can't go wrong with PiCTOBiTS.

    It stands as a great game for a low price, and that’s something you really can’t complain about.

    PiCOPiCT is a great puzzler, and the best game available on DSiWare so far.

    One of the toughest Match Three games I've played in quite some time, especially in the deeper levels where falling tile pieces can span the entire screen. But the challenge is what makes this unique Art Style game incredibly addictive, and well worth the five bucks it costs to download.
  6. Giant Bomb
    80
    A tough, rewarding puzzle game that will take you a while to master, and even longer to unlock all the available content.
  7. GameSpot
    65
    A crushing difficulty level and troublesome controls overshadow the unique block-busting tools of this DSi puzzle game.

Basically, your matching shapes falling from the ceiling and destroying them by adding more cubes to the shape. You get a certain amount of cubes at the start, but eventually you'll have to let the shapes falling from the ceiling touch the ground so they become cubes. No, this is not a Tetris rip-off! Once you destroy a shape, the colour of the shape goes to the top screen as a pixel and forms a picture. (Part of it.) Here's the catch: the shape your making is nintendo-themed! And the music is awesome remixes of the nintendo game! Then there's a dark world and a jukebox...500 points! It's kinda hard to describe this game, so you should just go buy it yourself! It's awesome!… Expand
