It's Picross 3D. If you know what that is, you know what's up, and you know it's good. Voxelgram has an insane amount of levels, really smooth controls, and great QoL changes to what you expect from Picross 3D.

If you don't know what Picross 3D is, it's a logic game where you slowly break away blocks to reveal a sculpture of an object in the end. It's fun and casual, and not very difficult.

While Voxelgram is a lovely game in its own right and improves upon Picross 3D in some aspects, imo it falls short in a couple of aspects. Everything just lacks oomph

Nitpicks:
  • Everything feels a little unsatisfying. In Picross 3D, a block breaks into many pieces when you remove it, in this game you just get a "click" noise and the block fades away. The level end screen shows you the final object with little to no fanfare, and finishing a diorama just feels like I ticked a box.
  • I don't like the sound and music. The click sfx get grating over time, in terms of music there are like 3 tracks that are really melancholic for some reason. The music tries to be relaxing but it comes off as needlessly sad for such a casual game.
  • No timer or challenge levels. In Picross 3D, you have a timer to keep you on your toes and challenge levels you need to finish in a quick time. Some people didn't like these, but I loved it and wish this game had something similar.

Aside from that, this game is pretty great, but with a little more polish it could've been amazing. Still highly recommend, following up Picross 3D was never an easy task.
