    48 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its soothing qualities and dramatic undertones, while others find it repetitive and overly melancholic for a puzzle game.

    • “The presentation in the game is missing something; maybe it's the stock sounding music.”

    • “Honestly a steal for the price, definitely recommend to any picross fans or those who've been missing the gameplay of picross 3D on the DS.”
    • “The gameplay is meditative, but not particularly challenging.”
    • “It took me about an hour of messing around with the second and third puzzle to understand how the mechanics work, and then I finally decided to buy the game.”

  • graphics
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • grinding
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews indicate that while the game offers breaks between challenging puzzles, some players find the process of navigating through complex layers tedious rather than difficult. The puzzles can become monotonous, requiring extensive investigation of 3D shapes, and the achievement hunting aspect is noted to be somewhat grindy, particularly with random and workshop achievements. Overall, the grinding experience varies, with some players enjoying the challenge while others find it tedious.

    • “If you find these types of puzzles boring or tedious, it's not a great achievement hunter game.”
    • “Not because it is hard to understand or play, but because I found moving my way around through a bunch of layers to be a very tedious process.”
    • “I bought this to challenge myself in a genre I usually avoid (puzzles), but once I got the hang of it, it was most often too easy or annoyingly tedious - not difficult, but requiring minute investigation of awkward 3D shapes to find enough information to progress.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game demonstrates solid stability, running well even on lower-end systems without crashes. However, some users report occasional freezing that can result in lost progress, and the tutorial is deemed ineffective.

    • “The game maintains a smooth performance with minimal bugs, making for a stable and enjoyable experience.”
    • “I appreciate how consistently the game runs without crashes, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the gameplay.”
    • “The tutorial is useless, and once in a while, the game freezes, causing you to lose all the progress you've made on a given puzzle. Despite all that, this game is a gem for nonogram lovers.”
    • “I have never encountered any crashes, and it runs great on my potato with integrated graphics.”
