PictoPull Reviews

Solid puzzle game!

pushmo is back. oh my god. i've dreamed of this moment.

used to have this exact game , very happy to get it on steam

An indie clone of Pushmo. Not super polished but there is a lot of content and a full level editor.

A satisfying experience. More complicated than you'd first expect. Well worth the purchase price.

Pictopull emerges as a visual treat with its charming pixel art style applied to a three-dimensional world. The auditory experience of "Pictopull" is equally enchanting, thanks to its nostalgic 8-bit music that accompanies every step of your puzzle-solving journey. The chiptune melodies add a layer of immersive nostalgia, invoking memories of the golden age of gaming. The tunes cleverly adapt to the pace of your progress, making sure the music never detracts from the puzzles but instead enhances the overall ambiance. As a puzzle-solving game, Pictopull presents challenges that range from cleverly simple to deliciously complex. Each puzzle resonates with the game's central mechanic—pulling and manipulating pixelated objects to unlock pathways. The learning curve is finely tuned,. While the early stages serve as a warm-up for your creative faculties, the later levels showcase intricate designs that require strategic thinking and mental dexterity. Overall a very fun game and a great time killer

This is an addictive, polished puzzler with charming graphics. The tutorial levels are very well designed and gently ramp up the difficulty. The mechanics are minimalist and simple to learn, but the puzzles do a lot with them. I haven't beat all of the levels yet, but once past the tutorial solving each level feels like a little victory that makes you keep wanting to play just one more level. There are a couple of side menus where the gamepad doesn't seem to be supported yet (character customization and level creator), but everything in game feels great with a gamepad or with key+mouse.

Really fun puzzle game. Essentially a spiritual successor to the 3DS game Pushmo, which is no longer available for purchase. I'm pretty awful at puzzle games but still had fun working through the levels. The game does a really good job at balancing teaching the player and giving enough freedom to solve puzzle on your own, a big part of that being that the tutorial and hints are optional. The rewind feature also works really well and removes the tedium that may have otherwise existed when you inevitable make a mistake. Mix in the satisfying puzzle solving with platforming that feels great, and sprinkle in some surprisingly good music and an overall relaxing vibe, and the end result is a very fun game.

This is one of those rare 'easy to learn, hard to master' games. I've already said 'just one more level' about 5 times now. I love the Aha! moments when you finally see the solution pop out at you. Highly recommend as a great puzzle platformer.

A bit buggy but a very enjoyable puzzle game, especially if you like pushmo
