No. It's well done, but it's not vital, and there's colour cues to the depth if it ever looks confusing in 2D. I've finished the main game but haven't played much of it with 3D on.

Lol, took my only two minutes. I see you took lessons from the 192+ puzzles, but now I'm well versed in the angled jump technique.

Did you pull out the two small purple blocks? It turned out to be a bit easier than I had planned. There's meant to be a 180 degree jump turn into a hole, but it's possible to skip that part.

This one is harder than it looks. Good job!
Very good design by whoever made this one. There seems to be only one correct sequence of button presses that works and I spent quite a while figuring it out. I give it a thumbs up.Does anyone know how to solve this?
Didn't even touch them. Here's how I did it
- Pull these pieces all out: green, (L-shaped) blue, light blue and rightmost purple;
- Climb on the light blue piece and pull both large blue pieces 2 times;
- Climb on the inside of blue piece on the right
- Pull the small light blue piece all the way out and the small L-shaped purple piece just once;
- Climb on the light blue piece and walk to the right into the blue piece;
- Make a 90-degree jump onto the purple block on the right;
- Now push the blue piece all the way back and jump on the L-shaped purple piece;
- Drop on the small light blue piece and pull the L-shaped purple piece once more;
- Now pull the big center blue piece once and climb on it;
- Go as far to the right as you can and make another 90 degree jump to the right tip of the big purple piece;
- Climb the blue piece and stroll your way to the flag;
- Climb on the light blue piece and pull both large blue pieces 2 times;
- Climb on the inside of blue piece on the right
- Pull the small light blue piece all the way out and the small L-shaped purple piece just once;
- Climb on the light blue piece and walk to the right into the blue piece;
- Make a 90-degree jump onto the purple block on the right;
- Now push the blue piece all the way back and jump on the L-shaped purple piece;
- Drop on the small light blue piece and pull the L-shaped purple piece once more;
- Now pull the big center blue piece once and climb on it;
- Go as far to the right as you can and make another 90 degree jump to the right tip of the big purple piece;
- Climb the blue piece and stroll your way to the flag;
Does anyone know how to solve this?
Took me quite a while. Very clever in the way it forces you to trap yourself to proceed and unlike any puzzle I found in the game. It's almost like a password!

Thanks! This was the easier solution I found later was talking about, I might have to make a revised version. I'll have to test them more in future!

Okay why the heck does grandpa keep telling me I can't scan the codes? I know the answer is buried somewhere in the thread. but could some kind soul fill me in on what I need to do?
Oh because Nintendo is making me play to level 100 and something first. What BS.

It goes by very quickly.
The built-in puzzles are great and unlocking everything for the custom ones goes really quick. Complaining about having to, gosh, play the game is just so strange to me...

Here's another one I can't solve (I'm dumb)
I don't think you're dumb, it's just that the bastard making these is a world-domination type or something
Just downloaded this today. I thought the tutorial was AGONIZINGLY slow. Ludicrously verbose, drawn out vignettes with no way to skip... The core concepts of the game don't need THAT much explanation, man! I just wanna push and pull some blocks!
Likewise, the transition between levels is a bit slow for my liking, I don't need to be told I'm a natural every time and then sit there and wait for the next puzzle to be revealed. The gameplay is fun, addictive, and served up in bite size chunks, I wanna keep my downtime between pushmos to a minimum!

That's only temporary. Until they introduce a couple new mechanics much later on, there won't be any interruptions. Anyways, just played like 20 puzzles straight, this game is crack. So good.

I've played at least 2 hours. That's not quick. The reason I got it was to play the QR levels.
It's as dumb as unlocking characters in a fighting game.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
The game's built-in content is worth playing as well. Worry not, you'll soon be able to scan QRs, if you haven't reached that point yet.

Got through the 190's without much trouble but now i'm absolutely, completely stumped by 216!
It seems i just have to hit the blue switch before the green one but ... just can't seem to get to it first!!!!
Anyone got any tips? Or am i thinking wrong?
Edit: Thinking wrong Won't forget how to do that one anytime soon, jeez! NEXT!

If you don't like the built-in content chances are you might not like any of the custom creations. There's no point in forcing yourself through a game you don't enjoy, just to see some late feature. At least that's my view.

For the record, I'm also not a fan of being required to finish dozens of puzzles to unlock the ability to scan and play user-created ones. But Alrus and blu are exactly right; the pixel art is neat and all, but you don't scan them to gawk at them. They're puzzles, and they're no different conceptually from the abstract ones. If the main game is boring and tedious, it's not like the pixel art will make the game more fun.

I am currently playing the Nintendo Murals and I just adore how they 'changed' the music for these .

Brutally stumped on 241 Anyone manage it? Even if i managed to do it at this point, i would have no idea how to do it again.
EDIT: I think posting here in desperation is the catalyst for my brain 'clicking' on a level! Just did it!
EDIT2: Hoping for the same luck with 245 now! Skipped it and completed 246, but man i can't even get off the third 'floor' of 245

That is fantastic. Sadly I don't know a single person in real life who would give it the appreciation it deserves!

Who else here immediately started trying to solve the puzzle in the first panel? This game gets in your head (like Tetris).
This is a pretty solid game, though I think the difficulty curve (so far, I'm up to level 110ish) is slower than I would like, seeing as I'm only just now getting to any sort of difficult puzzles. Some of the custom puzzles I've downloaded so far have been pretty fiendish at times though.
Also maybe it's just familiarity playing with my mind, but I find this game damn near unplayable without the 3D on.

Awesome comic!
That said, I have to play this game again. MK7 and 3DLand taking up most of my 3DS time lately.
On this weeks Nintendo Show 3D they featured a few user made Pushmo levels and one of them was mine (Baby Metroid). I feel special.
They showed my Snowman level too

Hello! I signed up to share my Final Fantasy Pushmo/Pullblox puzzles. I've made bookmark designs containing QR codes with puzzles for the main characters from the Final Fantasy games. So far I've done up to FFVI.
The FFIVDS one is basically a duplicate with a different design. These are half-size versions (the codes still work though). I can link to full-size versions if people want.

I thought someone would have already done Bub from Bubble Bobble (and someone probably has, but since he's not in the OP):
And I also adapted Alena. Since the original sprite uses so few colors I had to add more to make it playable so I tried to imitate the look of the official Toriyama artwork:

Some amazing puzzles, folks.
EvilRedEye, those Final Fantasy puzzles are great! Scanning the codes wasn't difficult at all, for the record.

I've been scanning all of these. I do hope to see more creations that meant to be real puzzles, rather than remakes of sprites from other games. Those things don't have to be mutually exclusive, but still.
I look forward to trying yours, Fabrik, looks like it could be pretty fun.

I tried to make it a real puzzle, but it's quite hard to make it not too obvious, creating a puzzle is a puzzle in itself!
Pushmo just crossed Ocarine Of Time 3D as my longest game played on the 3DS. More than 40 hours! Not bad for a 8€ game.
By the way, is there a simple way to put the puzzle on the web directly from the 3DS?

You can upload images to sites like Imgur from your 3DS web browser.

I've done more Final Fantasy bookmarks. There's one for the upgraded job classes from the original Final Fantasy and one for each of the Playstation Final Fantasy games: FFVII, VIII and IX.

Don't you hate it when you have something going and if you fuck up & have to start the puzzle all over again, you can't remember what you did to get to that spot in the first place?

Yes!
I fired this up for the first time in awhile recently as my playtime has been consumed by SM3DL. However, in the interim I seem to have lost all my Pushmo mojo and ability to think dimensionally. Arse.

As soon as I unlocked all the features for the QR code stuff I started scanning like crazy. Still not close to finishing the main game.
Lots of fun user-made levels.
