Pushmo World: A Mind-bending Puzzle Adventure
Expanding on the mind-bending puzzle challenges previously found only on Nintendo 3DS, Pushmo World is a Wii U title that offers a variety of challenges that can only be solved by manipulating a wall of 3D obstacles. Pushmo World finds players pushing, pulling, and climbing blocks to solve a collection of more than 250 new puzzles. What separates Pushmo World from the other games in the series, besides the crisp and colorful HD graphics and original puzzles, is the addition of World Pushmo Fair, an in-game hub that gives players an easy way to share and download new puzzles.
Gameplay
In Pushmo World, players are tasked with solving three-dimensional block-based puzzles by moving blocks to climb to the top of structures. As the game progresses, the puzzles get larger and more complex, with some massive, screen-filling creations resembling familiar objects, animals, and even classic Nintendo characters. Pushmo World introduces a collection of training levels that players can use to hone their puzzle-climbing skills. The game also features a time-rewind option that lets players undo mistakes. This forgiving feature rewards players for being smart thinkers rather than forcing them to restart a complex puzzle for making a hasty move. Being stumped won’t stop the fun: If players are stuck on a particularly tough puzzle, they can skip ahead to the next one.
In addition to the numerous puzzles included in the game, Pushmo World lets players create their own puzzles using a selection of tools in Pushmo Studio and share them with friends and others around the world. This feature adds endless replayability to the game, as players can always find new puzzles to solve, even after they’ve completed all of the ones included in the game.
World Pushmo Fair
One of the most significant additions to Pushmo World is World Pushmo Fair, an in-game hub that gives players an easy way to share and download new puzzles. Players can browse a variety of puzzles created by other players, or they can search for specific types of puzzles, such as puzzles that resemble famous landmarks or characters. Players can also rate puzzles and leave comments, helping other players find the best puzzles to play.
World Pushmo Fair is a great way to extend the lifespan of Pushmo World. With new puzzles being added all the time, there’s always something new to play. It’s also a great way to share your own creativity with other players.
Graphics and Sound
Pushmo World features colorful and crisp HD graphics that bring the game’s 3D puzzles to life. The game’s environments are varied and detailed, and the puzzles themselves are visually striking. The game’s soundtrack is also excellent, with catchy tunes that will get stuck in your head.
Conclusion
