Crashmo (2012) Review
Crashmo, also known as Fallblox in Europe and Australia, is a puzzle video game developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS. It is the sequel to the 2011 game Pushmo. The game was released in Japan in November 2012, and in North America and Europe in April 2013.
Crashmo is a physics-based puzzle game in which the player controls a character named Mallo who must navigate through a series of 3D puzzles. The puzzles are made up of blocks that can be pushed and pulled to create paths for Mallo to walk on. The goal of each puzzle is to reach the exit without falling off the bottom of the screen.
There are over 150 puzzles in Crashmo, each with its own unique challenges. The puzzles start out relatively easy, but they quickly become more difficult as the game progresses. Some puzzles require the player to use creative thinking to find the solution, while others require quick reflexes to avoid falling off the screen.
One of the things that makes Crashmo so addictive is its simple yet challenging gameplay. The controls are easy to learn, but it takes time and practice to master the game’s physics. The puzzles are also very well-designed, and they offer a great sense of satisfaction when they are solved.
In addition to the main puzzle mode, Crashmo also features a number of other modes. There is a time attack mode, in which the player must complete puzzles as quickly as possible, and a challenge mode, which features more difficult puzzles. There is also a level editor, which allows players to create their own puzzles.
Crashmo is a great puzzle game that offers a lot of content and replayability. The puzzles are challenging but fair, and the gameplay is addictive and fun. Whether you’re a fan of puzzle games or not, Crashmo is definitely worth checking out.
