Pushmo is a puzzle game developed by Intelligent Systems. It is a downloadable game for Nintendo’s 3DS system. In Japan, it is known as Hikusu, and in Europe, it is known as Pullblox.
Platforming
Pushmo is an innovative puzzle game. It uses three-dimensional space to create dynamic, spatially-dense levels. The game features addictive, playful, and challenging gameplay.
Players push and pull blocks to build platforms. They can use gadgets to help them and jump as they progress; the difficulty increases. This allows players to find a variety of strategies to solve the puzzles.
In the early stages, the puzzles are straightforward. You’ll need to figure out how to move blocks. However, the puzzles get more complicated once you get to the later stages.
For instance, some switches pull out similar-coloured blocks when you press them. There are also maintenance holes, which allow you to travel between pairs of colour-coded blocks. But even those aren’t always as helpful as they should be.
Puzzles
Look no further if you’re looking for an innovative puzzle-platform game for the Nintendo 3DS. Pushmo is a unique puzzle platformer that takes advantage of the 3D capabilities of the system to create dynamic levels that offer spatial depth.
The puzzles are more challenging and creative in this third instalment in the series. Players can take their creations online for others to solve, and you can share puzzles you’ve created with others through QR codes.
The original Pushmo came out in 2006, and the second one in 2013. Developed by Intelligent Systems, the games feature a variety of different mechanics. These include platforms, gadgets, and other objects. You can also slide, shake, and teleport blocks across ledges.
There are a total of 250 puzzles in Pushmo. You can create your puzzles using the Pushmo Studio, which you can access after unlocking it from the main game.
User-created content
It’s hard to deny that Pushmo is the king of downloadable Nintendo 3DS games. The game is packed with hundreds of puzzles to challenge you and your friends. Plus, you can use the level creator to create your own. Moreover, you can export your sandboxed creations and share them with other players.
Of course, the game does not support online multiplayer. However, you can still play your favourite puzzles with QR codes. This is the same technology used to display images on the TV screen. For a hands-on experience, check out Pushmo Park for some truly unique creations.
There’s also a small-sized but mighty puzzle game on the way. Known as Pushmo World, this new offering will be available in stores and the eShop on June 19 for $9.99. Featuring unique stickers for MiiVerse, this is one puzzle game you won’t want to miss. Despite its size, this will still take hours to complete.
Music and sound
The name of a laudable game or two, a well-executed video game console. A tad redundant but the 3D experience is a whole different animal. There’s no shortage of 3D fun in town. Besides, there’s something about a game that you want to play. A tad over a half dozen games to a handful, yikes. A game on a console is the perfect way to go about it. For the record, I’m a Nintendo 3DS man. Oh, and it is a tad cold. My wife and I are not older than the kids, but we’ve got some excellent time oafs in the mix. After the kids are in bed and the wife is out of town, we’re a bit of a freewheelin’ household.
Controls
Pushmo is a puzzle game where players push and pull different block patterns to create platforms. The game’s objective is to get Mallo, a cartoon creature, to rescue children trapped inside the Pushmo.
While the concept of a push/pull puzzle game is easy, it can be challenging to master. It’s also frustrating to have to restart levels to solve them.
Fortunately, Pushmo has a level creator to do your puzzles. Once you complete a certain amount of levels, you unlock the tool. You can swipe up puzzles to move them into place or add objects, such as utility holes, to create your stories.
There are over 250 levels in the game. The difficulty increases as you advance, but the game is pretty forgiving. If you find yourself struggling, you can backtrack for 25 seconds.
