I think 3D Picross is easier than 2D Picross but it's still awesome

I've played so much 3D though that sometimes I feel like I'm cheating. Like for example if you see something like 🔸🔸🔷🔸 and the line is 1 blue and a 2 Orange circle, 9 times out 10 it's going to be 🔶🔷🔶 so I have been trained to just think in this pattern even if I shouldn't know that yet based on how far I've gotten into the puzzle

Now I wish Pokémon picross would let me mark speculative squares like 3D

the marking in 3d-2 is such a smart feature in 3d-1 it didnt have that, but you could view the layers in all 3 dimentions. marking essentially allows you to interact with the 3rd dimension without that. which is great because that made solving puzzles in 3d-1 rather rote, go through the x layers, go through the y layers, go through the z layers, repeat forever

I've been playing BOXBOY the last couple days. The basic worlds aren't super challenging but the unlockable stages do a pretty great job of making me go "how the fu..." Haven't even tried the challenges yet. Also it's charming and the mechanics feel really good.

I should get it but I now have Picross e, e2, e3, e4, e5 and e7 to finish as well as a few puzzles in Zelda Picross. Plus the original Picross 3D but Round 2 looks way more interesting. The first time 3D 2 goes on sale it will probably magically appear in my picross folder.

I bought Stephen's Sausage Roll in the Steam sale and cleared two puzzles and I think this game will murder me if I ever get far enough. Also bought Divide by Sheep and it's cool and as much as a soda from a vending machine, or cheaper.
