Nintendo has launched a free to play entry in the Pullblox series called Fullblox on the Nintendo 3DS.

It's the same game that we discovered yesterday had been released in Japan under the title Pushmo: Hippa Land. It has you solving 3D puzzle levels by pulling, stacking, and jumping on blocks across themed levels.

It's free to download on the 3DS eShop but this only gets you a tutorial comprised of seven tutorial levels.

If you want more then you'll have to pay up. There are four DLC packs in total to choose from. Each of them has its own playable character (Mallo, Poppy, Corin, or Papa Blox).

In total, they offer 250 extra levels, and if you complete all of those, you unlock an extra 50 levels for free.

Also, purchasing any one DLC pack unlocks "Fullblox Studio" for free. This allows you to create and edit your own levels that you can then turn into QR codes to share with friends on Miiverse.

Now, about those DLC packs and their prices, here's how Nintendo divides them up:

  • Mallo's Playtime Plaza (£4.49): 100 progressively challenging levels that introduce the basics of the game
  • Poppy's Sculpture Square (£2.69): 50 puzzle levels shaped like animals and objects
  • Corin’s Fortress of Fun (£2.69): 50 levels featuring new gizmo obstacles and enemies
  • Papa Blox's NES Expo (£2.69): A treat for retro fans that features 50 levels based on classic NES characters

If you don't want to buy them individually then you can grab them in a bundle. All four DLC packs will cost you £8.99.

Another option is to only purchase Mallo's Playtime Plaza and then buy the other three packs as a bundle for £6.29.

Lastly, if you buy one of the cheaper level packs first, you can bundle the other three (including Mallo's Playtime Plaza) for £8.09.


You should be able to download Fullblox for free on the 3DS eShop right now.
