There was the sequel, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/3ds-eshop\/fallblox\">Fallblox<\/a> (or <strong>Crashmo<\/strong> in North America), the Wii U game <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/wiiu-eshop\/pushmo_world\">Pullblox World<\/a> (<strong>Pushmo World<\/strong> in NA, and a game <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/features\/countdown-wii-u-eshop-spotlight-pushmo-world\">we covered previously<\/a> in this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/tags\/countdown\">&#8216;Countdown&#8217; series<\/a>), and a fourth free-to-start entry on 3DS called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/3ds-eshop\/fullblox\">Fullblox<\/a> (<strong>Stretchmo<\/strong> in North America).
