Best part is guessing what the item is as it does a final spin before coming into full color.
Only changes would be removal of timer as an option as not everyone solves puzzles at the same pace. But alas, the gamification of all things is a cruel mistress.
I’m also not wild about hearts in puzzle games, as it shows me when I messed up, but in a 3d nonogram where you chip away at the puzzle, I’m struggling to think of a way to avoid it as a solution to misplay. A bit easier on a 2d scape where you can go back and change things whenever you wish. Great game though. Good monetization.

Thank you so much for playing PiKuBo and for the kind words. If you prefer, you can disable the timer on the Settings configuration of the main menu. That way you can play the puzzles at your own pace! :)I was searching for used nds just so that I can play this game again when I found this app!
A few suggestions:
- I wish only the high lighted blocks can be marked or deleted because sometimes, I accidentally touch the grey blocks.
- Addition of undo button.
- More difficult puzzles. I already have the packs 6 and 8 but please make all puzzles at least at 45-minute levels.
- Bigger puzzles for iPads.
Really fun game with a good user interface that is regularly updated! No annoying ads or gimmicks.
As others have stated this is a great new take on the old nonogram puzzles, which I too have mastered and grown tired of. The design here is flawless! And there was great attention to simplicity of the user interface. I love how they solved the “hidden cubes” complication with the “slider”. Big thumbs up to the developer on an overall awesome puzzle game.
Nonograms are my favorite type of puzzle but I’ve done so many over the years that none of them are challenging anymore and just take slightly more or less time. These 3D nonograms are fantastic and incredibly engaging.
The first pack or two is sort of easy, but the later ones get pretty complex and take 15-25 minutes for me and I played picross 3D on DS and have about 8 years of consistently playing nonograms till now. They’re quite well made and I love how large the later packs’ levels are.
Fantastic game. Been looking for a game just like Picross 3D on the DS, but for my phone. And this is it, 100%.

My only complaint is the odd system of marking and deleting cells. I see no reason they need to be on a timer like that and deactivate every time you move the screen. It’s pretty annoying when you start, especially if you’re used to nonograms, but it’s easy enough to get used to, I suppose.

One suggestion: when enlarging the puzzle, especially on harder puzzles, can you move the timer/stars? Gets in the way.
The game is good when you start. But it makes me want to throw my phone across the room because it won’t give me enough hearts! It’s so frustrating. It only lets you play the first level I have to pay for the other levels.

Thank you for playing PiKuBo. Sorry to hear you found the game complicated. It is difficult to find the sweet spot of fun and challenge. Which specific puzzle was it that you feel didn't have enough hearts? If possible, we would like to tweak the difficulty of the puzzles a bit.I really love this game. It is just like the Picross 3D game from the DS and 3DS games. I’ve been looking for something similar. The only downside is that I purchased Puzzle Pack 3 and I haven’t received the pack. I tried emailing support, but I received a message saying “email not found”. Please help so I can continue playing this great game.

First of all, thank you for playing PiKuBo.
Regarding the missing In-App purchase, in the game settings on the main menu there is a "restore purchases" button that can help you retrieve any previous purchases you have made in the game. If the purchase was completed correctly (you should have received an email from Apple confirming this), the this should re-enable the purchased puzzle pack (the pop up message will inform you if the restore purchases process succeeded).
Please make sure you are currently logged in to the same account that you used to make your purchase with and that your device is connected to the internet when performing this action.
If this still does not solve your issue, please get in touch with Apple to see if they can help you out further.
