Unlike Pushmo, you can manipulate blocks in two dimensions (like Crashmo), but mechanically the puzzles are more similar to Pushmo than Crashmo. The gimmick in Stretchmo is you can "stretch" blocks out up to 2 stages from their origin point, in all four directions. You just need to get a handle on your block, either front, side, or back, and pull away! In fact, you can stretch the same block out in all four directions at the same time. So, for example, a block that fills 1x1 on the floor grid can be pulled out to fill as much as 5x5 if pulled out two stages from all sides.
By purchasing any of the available content, Stretchmo Studio will be unlocked. Here, you can create and share your own Stretchmo puzzles with QR codes, and scan codes to try puzzles created by other users.
