Your goal in Art Style: PiCTOBiTS is simple: clear large blocks that fall from above ("megabits") by combining them with "bits" (square blocks) of the same color.
Add in the ability to pick up bits and place them anywhere on the touch screen, and you'll quickly find that strategy is critical to your success. By clearing the bits, you gradually reveal each stage's hidden game character - look for favorites from classic NES titles - and earn coins that can be spent to unlock DARK stages or to listen to the game's soundtrack in MUSIC mode.
This grand mix of familiar elements and new game play leads to the uniquely enjoyable experience that is PiCTOBiTS.

Looks like a mix of Quarth and the Metroid mode in Tetris DS. Despite me being a puzzler maniac, this doesn't appeal to me at all.

This looks like it is my most wanted DSi game to come out. I hope it comes out by the time I get my DSi.

Potentially another brilliant puzzler from the art style people. Clever people that they are. Most likely an insta-download for me.
I want Art Style's Nalaku as well when the comes out

Dude! - Last time I was a game that looked this cool, it was Tetris DS...
I splurged and downloaded all of the available ArtStyles games on my Wii/DSi - not a decision I regret at all - I will definitely add this to my collection asap when it is released.

@ Gogata: I love your flag. ^^ Had no idea the Macedonian flag looked like that.

Wiiloveit said:
Looks a bit slow paced and complicated for me, I'm afraid, though it's nice to see all those retro characters return

Pastry said:
Is this Art Style a remake of a Bit Generations game?

Gogata said:
Thanks KeeperBvK, I sure knew about your flag.

This game features music by YMCK, a japanese 8-bit electronic band...

I don't really understand it yet.... But I wanna try it out as soon as it is released in the EU store!

KnucklesSonic8 said:
Must-have. I'm so happy it's finally here.

NikeXTC said:
Same as nagareboshi... I can't fully understand how you play it from the video...

GamerZack7 said:
Neat
Wonder what new name it'll have when it's released here on what I suspect is this Friday morning...along with Super Mario Kart! hint hint

StarDust said:
My only real critique is that they couldn't have picked a more boring-looking icon for the game in the DSi shop
Nine dull looking squares - great way to attract people to download - come on Nintendo, great marketing stratedgy...
EDIT: Although I blasted through the first ten stages in relatively short time span, just to let you know before you go spending coins trying to unlock all of the DARK stages, be advised that even on level 1 they are Über-Hard

This game is awsome. I don't like puzzle games very much, and yet I love it. It's perfect for just short play sessions. Well worth the 500 points.

should i get this or w8 for pop plus solo?

lockd said:
this game is uber hard
#27
Whirlpool said:
Ugg this isn't worth it too difficult. The good thing is you get to see characters in 8 bit. But tetris ds does the same thing.

hmmm... looks very tempting... It doesn't seem that bad for a score of 9 out of 10. But it doesn't look like thesort of game I would go 'WOW!'. I'll skip it. Maybe next time there might be a better game.

I would say this is one of the top 5 DSi titles. It is retro and relevant,

I should've got this instead of a little bit of puzzle league, but puzzle league is still fun!

One of the funnest games for the DSi, probably my favorite DSiware game. Awesome music, graphics and just plain fun. Especially for those of us who used to have a NES, Pictobits brings back so many good memories. Highly recommended.
