Our Price: $49.99 Release Date: 3/12/2009 UPC: 4902370517705 Genre: Puzzle Company: Nintendo Version: Japan -from wikipedia- Rittai Picross, literally "Solid Geometry Picross") is a puzzle video game developed by Nintendo and HAL Laboratory for the Nintendo DS. It was first revealed at Nintendo's conference on October 2, 2008. It was released on March 12, 2009 in Japan. It uses similar nonogram mechanics to Picross DS, but it puts it in 3D.
While Picross presents you with a rectangular grid of squares, which you must fill in to create a picture, Rittai Picross uses a rectangular prism made of a number of smaller cubes, and you must chip away at it in order to construct an image in three dimensions. Each row or column has at most one number corresponding to it, and many do not have any numbers at all; the number indicates how many cubes the row/column should contain when the picture is complete. If a number has a circle around it, it means that, while that number of cubes is the total amount in the row/column, they will be split up into two groups (for example, a 4 with a circle around it will be in two groups of either 1 and 3 or 2 and 2). If a number has a square around it, the cubes will be split up into three or more groups. If there are no numbers on a row or column, there are no rules concerning how many cubes belong there.
As you play, you can use a paintbrush to mark cubes that definitely will remain in the image, or a hammer to chip away at the unnecessary cubes. If you try to break a cube that is part of the image, the game will inform you of your mistake, but let you continue on; if you do this five times, however, you must restart the puzzle from the beginning. Early on, the game presents you with "technique" tutorials to help you refine your puzzle-solving skills.
Once you complete the 3D image, you will be rewarded with a short animation regarding the image, and it will be placed onto a background with other images you may have constructed; there are many backgrounds available to fill in, each holding a certain theme. Depending on how quickly you completed the puzzle, and whether or not you broke any blocks you should not have, you will be rewarded with up to three stars, which will go toward unlocking bonus puzzles. In addition to tutorials and standard puzzles, you will occasionally be presented with either a "Time Challenge", which imposes different time constraints on your puzzle-solving, or a "No Miss Challenge", wherein you may not make any mistakes at all.
