Overview
See also: Gameplay of Pushmo

The game follows the same gameplay format of previous games, in which the player uses Mallo to push and pull parts of the puzzle in order to reach the top. New to this game is the ability to stretch pieces out in addition to pushing and pulling. Some levels also contain hazards that might attack the player.

After completing a free seven stage demo, players can purchase four additional attractions; Playtime Plaza, Sculpture Square, Fortress of Fun, and NES Expo, which can either be purchased individually or as a discounted set. Purchasing any of the attractions unlocks the Stretchmo Studio, which allows players to create their own puzzles and share them using QR codes. Purchasing and completing all four attractions unlocks a fifth attraction, The Perilous Peak, which features challenging puzzles.

Reception

The game has a score of 83% on Metacritic, with praise towards its graphics and new gameplay (especially controlling a new character) but with criticism towards its lack of originality and occasional technical issues .[2]

Notes
  1. Japanese: 引ク出ス ヒッパランド
gollark: Except in your web browser, I guess.
gollark: Which are even worse on servers, since cloud platforms run VMs containing not-really-trusted code, while on consumer machines you could *maybe* get away with turning mitigations off since you don't.
gollark: Ryzen has the great advantage of not gaining exciting new vulnerabilities every month, too.
gollark: I think RX 570s are still pretty cheap compared to Nvidia equivalents.
gollark: ... are you ignoring cost here?
