Nintendo releases free-to-play Pushmo game for 3DS in Japan
Update: It seems that it’s technically going by the term “free-to-play”, but it’s more like a demo. Once downloaded, those who try out Pushmo: Hippa Land can choose which type of course they want. There are seven free puzzles from the four worlds (regular puzzles, puzzles that look like objects, puzzles with enemies, and NES-sprite based puzzles). We’re also hearing that each world has a different character to play as.
Players must beat the 28 free levels before having the option to buy worlds. Before gaining access to the “Create-A-Puzzle” feature, you need to purchase one world.
The Pushmo/Crashmo series is returning to 3DS. Nintendo just announced a new free-to-play entry for its portable today, and it’s already out in Japan.
This new entry – called “Pushmo: Hippa Land” – is free-to-play. Players can purchase one world for 500 yen, which contains 100 courses. There are an additional three, each of which features 50 courses and costs 300 yen. Alternatively, it’s possible to buy all four for a discount of 400 yen (1,000 yen in total).
Those who purchase and complete all four worlds will earn a special challenge titled “Super-Difficult Mountain”. In one world, players need to beat/overcome enemies. Just like the original game, you can share puzzles with QR codes.
