Plot and setting
Plot and setting
Mallo and children come back at the Pushmo Park for its re-opening and Papy Blox and his dog Brutus wait for them. However, similar to the first time, children are trapped within the Pushmos; they witness Brutus jumping on the "reset switches" (switches that reset the Pushmo) across all the park. Again, Mallo set across the new Pushmo Park to rescue children; when done, Brutus explains that he loves this gadget and did not want to cause the mess. Mallo later leaves with the children. The next day, Papa Blox presents to Mallo the Bonus Pushmo.
Basics

Reception

He particularly appreciated the puzzles' pacing in that he felt like he continually made positive progress and never felt hopelessly stuck. Tach said the game was not customized for the home console, but did not need to be.
