Just finished the main game... ha ha, the ending features a shocking twist in which the antagonist's true motivation was revealed! Time to move on to the bonus Pushmo.
Question about the end credits...
Question about the end credits...
Do you get anything if you collect all of the stars? I missed a few at the beginning because I didn't realize you can jump.
You can get 10 coins for doing the registration survey withing 7 days of purchase and then another 10 coins for doing the post play survey after 7 days.

This game is ridiculously fun.
It's honestly one of the best 3DS games available right now. I love it.

Thanks! Now I just need to decide on how to get this. How secure is it using the credit card on the 3ds eshop?
Well, it doesn't even store your credit card details unless you tell it to.
How many levels are there?

198 in the main game, but there appears to be 54 more bonus levels after that.

Just wondering, does the game let you create levels that are impossible?
Or does it have some way of alerting you while designing?
Looks great, gonna pick up but after i make a dent in the Ambassador games!

It wont let you generate a qr code for a user created game you haven't beaten yourself.

If I may use a meme, long tutorial is long. Finally finished it though. Very enjoyable mechanics. Looking forward to when these get tough.
You know you can upload stuff to imgur directly from your 3DS browser.
Using an account and the website?
Woah, what?You know you can upload stuff to imgur directly from your 3DS browser.
Show me this magic.
Use the 3DS browser and upload just like you'd do on a PC. When you tap a "select file" button on an website you can choose a file from your pictures to upload.

169:
You first need to pull the lower dark brown block all the way out. Then climb over it to the left and pull the light brown block out by two so you can pull the orange block inside it out by one, then push the light brown back in. Go back around to the right and climb up the dark brown block. Pull the orange block that's on top of it all the way out so you can pull the higher dark brown out by two, then push the orange back in so you can pull the light yellow all the way out. Then go to the left, and climb onto the higher dark brown using the first orange block that you pulled out earlier, pull out the light brown and use it to climb over to the top of the yellow block. From there it should be easy for you to reach the flag.
170: Don't feel like typing out the entire solution so I'll give you a hint.
Once you get up to the ostrich's body you need to drop down and pull out the 1x1 medium peach block, and use it to pull the medium peach block to the right all the way out. This will let you push the light peach block above it out by 2, so you can work your way over to the dark peach switch. Also, make sure to pull out the big block on the left part of the ostrich's body out by one, so you can use it to get over to the neck.

After I reach the goal, I jump off the Pushmo and let my character fall almost to the ground. Then I rewind until I'm right above the rescued child and let go of the rewind button. It's my little victory dance.

What the hell happened to Nintendo?
Trailer for this game didn't really excite me, but the editor features and sharing did look interesting. I come to GAF and see this.
Is the gameplay actually good? To me it looked almost like a simple LBP, where the content creation is really neat, but the actual playing of the game has little challenge and subpar gameplay.
Am I wrong? What challenges are provided? From the trailer it looked like you just pull/push blocks to climb higher. Is there more to this?
I need a reason to use my 3DS for more than a portable emulator for NES and GBA games!

The pushing/pulling mechanic may seem simple, but it can be very complicated figuring out how the blocks need to be manipulated in order to climb to the top. About halfway through the game adds two new mechanics - ladders which can warp you to different parts of the stage, and switches that automatically pull out blocks of a certain color - which increase the complexity even further. I guarantee that there will be many puzzles which will take you a long time to figure out.
Well, for $7 I'll give it a go then. I initially thought Picross would be easy mode, but all of them provide a great challenge. Now I just need to find my 3DS charger...

Nintendo really needs demos for their games.
I definitely agree with this. The game starts off rather slow and unassuming, but once you get access to manholes and color switches, everything ramps up so nicely. You'll be traveling all over each puzzle, pushing and pulling from every direction, needing to keep the entire area in mind, not just focusing on what's immediately above you. Because the mechanics are so simple, everything's easy to grasp, yet how they all work in tandem provides enough complexity to really make Pushmo shine.
Yeah, the training/tutorial is going at a snail's pace:
Character does an action, showing a new mechanic.
Old man, "Hey, see that person is doing this thing wrong? Hey, you! Do it like this!"
Character does it.
Old man, "See how they did that? I hope you learned!"
Bad guy comes and hits reset.
Old man, "Save that character up there!"
You start to do what needs to be done, but once you hit the same spot the previous character...
Old Man, "This is the spot where you gotta do what you saw that one character try to do, what I told him to do, then you watched him do it, now listen as I tell YOU how to do it, then praise you for when you DO do the same action."
But, yeah, I can see where complexity can come in. I'm already starting to think up some levels of my own! So far, purchase was worth it. Charming, clean graphics, Nice platforming (Drop Shadow ftw), and so far the music seems okay.
EDIT:
DAT EDITOR
Perfect. I spent most of my time in Animal Crossing in the shirt editor. This. THIS! Not only is it the exact same layout and grid dimensions, the colors I'm able to use gives me more than enough options to carry over all of my designs from Animal Crossing and create things that I never had the color palettes for in Animal Crossing. This is huge! This is a game changer (literally)! Purchase concretely solidified.
Ha ha ha ha, yeah, that's basically the biggest reason I wanted this game too.
Animal Crossing and all.It's not quite big enough at first but it eventually quadruples in size. And when you unlock buttons and tunnels, you don't even have to desecrate your sprites to make them into playable levels.
