Pushmo



Lately I've been playing a game on my 3DS called "Pushmo". Pushmo (or "Pullblox" if you're of the European persuasion) is a puzzle-platformer with a simple premise: push and pull blocks in order to climb to the top and reach the goal. With about 200 puzzles, it's one of those games where it's easy to pick up and play but difficult to master. Priced at $6.99 in the Nintendo eShop, Pushmo contains colorful graphics, 3D that is actually HELPFUL to gameplay and best of all, endless replay value.

As you play, you'll unlock "Pushmo Studio", a level editor that lets you create your own puzzles and share them with others via QR codes. Below are five puzzles I've created that you can try out. Don't worry, they're quite easy to solve:

Raphael (TMNT)


Doraemon (Doraemon)


Nukesaku Aida (Tsuide ni Tonchinkan)


Sonichu (Sonichu)


Yawning Squirtle (Sonichu)


If you have a copy of the game, feel free to tweet me your levels and I'll probably make a follow-up post with your levels.

I hope you all have a happy new year's eve--and try not to drink too much.

PS: The game itself is rated E for Everyone, but there's some online communities dedicated to making elaborate Pushmo puzzles and quite a few of them are NSFW. Browse at your own risk.
