Is it just me or is playing this game in 2D is a little bit nauseating?


I rate this game a "worth the asking price but only if you're into quirky puzzle games" on my unique consumer-focused scale. How would you justify freaky forms, taking its price into account?

I'd justify it as "it's not for everyone, but if you like silly little games with customisation it should amuse you for a few hours".

I'm easily amused when it comes to character creation. But in terms of content it seems light.

Great video review for anyone on the fence.

First attempt at making a level.

It's actually pretty tough. (at least it was for me)

Awesome puzzle. Took me about fifteen minutes of trying various things to figure it out. Bravo.

 

[The Technomancer]

Wow, IGN gave this a 9.5

 

[JoeFu]

Just bought the game and beat the tutorial levels. Kinda liked it, downloaded that jumping Mario map on page two and had a blast. This game is awesome.

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

Wow, IGN gave this a 9.5

definitely deserved

 

[Ridley327]

Baby Metroid puzzle is very good indeed!

 

[dwu8991]

Wow, IGN gave this a 9.5

Strange how typical Nintendo complaints like hand holding, tutorial, kiddy game, simplistic controls, 3D are not mentioned in the review.

 

[Ridley327]

Which is funny, seeing as there's two sets of tutorial levels in the game.

 

[Lijik]

Uggh on my way home right now. Seeing the explosion of puzzles in this thread is making the wait that much more unbearable!

@Panama Chief- I know this was eons ago relative to this thread but Mario Land 2 is definitely worth a playthrough if you like Mario platformers. Its a nice blend of well made platforming stages and kinda quirky ideas/aesthetics reminiscent of the Wario games

 

[sfried]

Hand holding? Never. This game has a tutorial, but on the puzzles you're on your own.

Kiddy? Fuck that shit. The puzzles here are serious stuff. Simplistic controls? Why not mention Mario 3D Land while you're at it? 3D was definitely mentioned, but I have to say unlike other titles, the 3D is usefull, subtle and unintrusive.

 

[watershed]

Wow, why are the Japanese so awesome!

Looking forward to picking this up next week when I have a bit more room in the budget. There is sales tax (live in Pennsylvania) with purchases in the eShop right? This will be my first time making a purchase since I don't have to actually fill up the wallet now. So it isn't just going to be $6.99 correct?

There is if you put in an unlucky zip code. I don't pay taxes on the eShop.

 

[Roto13]

I'm pretty sure I'm going to see this game being played in my mind when I'm laying in bed tonight.

 

[krpiper]

This is so awesome.

Strangely enough I hated Catherine's style of puzzles. Maybe its cause this is less laid back, and just "more fun"

 

[mjc]

I...must have this. That gameplay video is awesome!

 

[joolswatsham]

 

[RaidenZR]

Oh, nice!
I wish it were a REAL Mudds level!

 

[sfried]

Woo! Jools! Never expected to see you around here.

Are you guys at Renegade Kid coinciding with Mighty Switch Force? 'Cause you guys will be taking my money along with Wayforward's latest offering (that delicious Jake Kaufman music is too irresistable).

 

[watershed]

Cross promotion I see...

 

[Bullza2o]

This is the very first time I've bought a downloadable game on any videogame's online store, and I'm sure it's really worth it!

 

[rj118]

Here's a couple more I made.

That Porygon2 one was pretty fun!

 

[Mik2121]

Here's one I made back when I got the app on the Japanese eShop. I cared more about it being playable rather than just making a normal sprite though.

 

[DukeTogo1300]

Browsing the eShop today I realized this was being called Pushmo in the US, not Pullblox. I had assumed we were getting the usual lame American renaming (Pullblox) (didn't read the OT...), but I'm glad I was wrong. I love the adorable Mallo character, and would like to see him expanded a bit in gameplay styles so he doesn't fade away like all those other puzzle-focused character inventions:

At least a Smash Bros. appearance.

 

[Morokh]

Was playing some of the 3 star level last night and got a little stuck while playing in 2d to see the difference, I then put the 3D back on and the solution just came clear xD
That was pretty fun

Nice addictive little game.

 

[watershed]

This game is too addictive, I've been playing for almost 2 ours now.

 

[rj118]

 

[marc^o^]

Intelligent Systems are genius, just like that they create one of the best puzzle game ever.

 

[Ninjagorilla]

This is a really really good puzzle game.

I'm thinking fans of Guru Logic Champ, Picross and that kind of stuff will really enjoy this. So good. Was just going to do one single puzzle this morning, ended up doing one chapter. And the art and sounds is adorable, really loving the 8-bit nods in the music.

So far I'm enjoying the more logical brain twisters a lot more than the pixel-art levels, some of them feel a bit random.

 

[watershed]

I played until the battery on my 3ds ran dry. Good thing too as that's the only thing that could make me take a break. Addictive indeed.

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

I got another 3 people to buy it in the past couple of hours. I won't be content until my friend list is full of :3

 

[BooJoh]

Man these start getting really tricky past 100. I'm on the first set of large puzzles and some of them are really racking my brain.

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

Okay. I have seen enough, downloading it now...

 

[slaughterking]

Aww, I hope I can find some eShop cards somewhere today.

 

[CoolS]

Haha, this one made me go :lol

I sort of agree with you but the pixel art is so much more fun to look at. There have been a couple of custom GAF ones which combined the best of both worlds though, which gives me hope for the fututre

Just bought it. The game wasn't on my radar, but after reading this thread and seeing all those awesome custom levels, i had to get it.

Great to see that this thread is getting people to buy the game. It's awesome!

Great video review for anyone on the fence.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btHRtov0ooM

Yeah, I think I'll add this to the OP as well, it does a really good job on selling someone on the game.

OP has also be updated with more GAF created content

 

[Sadist]

This thread is amazing

 

[Jinfash]

Aww, I hope I can find some eShop cards somewhere today.

I was in the same position last night, but Maximumcards had $20 cards and sent me the code instantly. It's not as convenient as adding exact funds, but beats "nothing" which is basically the only alternative due to my location.

 

[CoolS]

I'll do this post to gather the non GAF stuff that people found on the internet. Will keep it updated of course!

Be sure to also check out post #150 with a lot of awesome pixelart!

Found some absolutely classic levels on the Japanese Forum.

Enjoy!

I've got no room left to scan levels in, I guess I need to play them to make some room.

I would gladly buy from there, but I need a card for Europe. :I

/edit/ Goddammit I want this game.

Thanks, I love how it is evolving, keep it up guys

I would love to gift it to you but for some reason we still can't do that on the eShop even though it is possible on the Wii :/

 

[watershed]

I have a question for those who are further in the game. I tried to scan one of the Japanese QR codes earlier and it said I couldn't do this puzzle yet or something? Does that mean I have to play through the normal levels more first or something?

Pretty much, yeah. Certain features in the editor need to be unlocked before you can use them, or play custom levels that use them.

You unlock ladders and switches with the beginning of world 5 (the second tutorial) and the bigger 32x32 canvas after you beat level 109

 

[Galactic Fork]

Holy crap, the Mario one is pure evil!

 

[8BitsAtATime]

wow....this may be my game of the year.

 

[Sinthetic]

I got into bed at 3am and couldn't sleep till about 4 because a big part of me wanted to get up and tackle some brainteasers in Pullblox. That's good in my book.

I actually like Pullblox as much as Pushmo, they both have their merits.

And to think that you weren't sure at all if you would like it I'm still surprised that it's that good.
