To have one of the best puzzle games around for $6 is hardly depressing.

Just so you know Patrick, if you go to a website like Imgur (I haven't tried other image hosts but I know that one works) on the 3DS browser, you can upload images from the SD card directly. You don't have to remove the SD card and put it into your computer whenever you want to get images off it like the QR codes for this game.

That code editing idea is really smart. I would never have thought of something that clever. Damn I want this game now so I can do that.

Looks fun too.

This looks like it might be the Picross 3D of the 3DS, the puzzle game you wind up playing more than anything else on the system. That is, until 3D Picross 3D comes out. I'm still hoping they release a 3DS XL, maybe with the second slide pad attached to it.

Guys, if you own a 3DS, you should get this game, it's pretty great. It's replaced Picross 3D as my handheld puzzle addiction. The "little dude" is named Mallo, by the way. You know, like a marshmallow! ;)

That's how I've been feeling lately, like this system is finally coming together.

Yup, that's what I do! Makes the process pretty easy that way.

The 3D is indeed good, I actually find the game a bit harder to play when I don't have it turned on (which is why I leave the 3D always on for this game, it's not bothersome on the eyes or anything). It does a good job of differentiating which plane each of your blocks is on, which is quite helpful, especially when the levels get more complicated. Plus, it just looks neat as you're pulling blocks in and out.

Really is a shame about that Nintendownload Express derailing into that orphanage. It was a good train. Wasn't the Conductor's defense that the DSIShop music was too soothing?

Patrick moaning about the 3DS/DS touchscreen - this seems like an odd time to do that. The game seems to need the precision of a stylus...

So I guess that wouldn't be rickrolling, it would be... dickrolling?

The little dude that you play in the game looks like he has traditional Sumo garb on. So, I think that's where the portmanteau title comes from.

dickrolling is the shit, but you got to be careful because it drains your spinal fluid.

Great quicklook. Jeff's explanation of this game on the bombcast made my head spin, but it's surprisingly simple.

The QR picture sharing is also very neat. I'm now a tiny step closer to purchasing a 3DS.

No kidding dude. The music is fantastic and the visuals are really great for what it is. This was definitely a great purchase on my end, except now my girlfriend has taken over the 3DS because of it. Oh well at least I feel less inclined to pay attention to her during my Skyrim sessions.

They aren't kidding about when the game gets tricky too. Really a nice little surprise from this.
