Pushmo (Push The Blocks, And Save The Lives)
Pushmo is a creative puzzle platformer with 3D graphics and colorful background. The video game takes place in Pushmo Park, where tiny creatures called Pushmos exist. The video game Pushmo’s primary objective is to rescue children stuck on giant structures by shifting around puzzle blocks. Initially, the gameplay is simple and all the levels are easy to solve. But as you advance, the levels become relatively challenging.
There is also a reset button in the middle of the screen, if anything goes wrong press that button to undo all the changes, which we don’t recommend. In short, that’s that puzzle and narrative part of the video game, the graphics aren’t bad too either. The dialogue catalog is also praiseworthy, the conversation between two characters is more of a hint to players, who don’t know how to advance.

Graphics quality is also upped to a tremendous level, making the loyal fanbase of Pushmo return.
Players now can move blocks three axes across. Gravity also becomes a nuisance, affecting the blocks with no platform or support fall. Furthermore, these tiny changes are what define this video game, the gameplay, the sound, and the animation execution are nearly perfect.
