A falling block puzzle game that borrows sprites from NES games for its blocks.
Large coloured blocks drop from the top of the touch screen. You have to move the small coloured "pixels" from the bottom of the screen to under the falling blocks to create a solid block of colour. Doing so will clear the block. You can also pick up multiple pixels and store them in your reserve spaces until you need them.
The game sprites that appear in PiCTOBiTS are from: Super Mario Bros., Balloon Fight, Ice Climber, Wrecking Crew, Baseball, Excitebike, Devil World and The Legend of Zelda.
