How do I power up my studio?

Question

I was trying to load Pushmo puzzles from QR codes (specifically, the Megaman one here, and I got this message: "This Pushmo is too advanced for you! You need to power up your studio first."

What does that mean? What do I need to do to power up my studio, and what does powering it up mean?

Answer

Just keep progressing in the main game.

Every once in a while, after solving a puzzle, the old guy who usually congratulates will say you've unlocked a new feature in the studio, for example. a large canvas. Here's what's unlocked and when, according to GameFAQs:

Unlockable - How to Unlock
32 by 32 grid - Complete the first level of Murals 2.
Gadgets - Complete Advanced Lesson 1.

There might be other unlockable stuff, I don't recall what else I might've unlocked and when

How do I share my Pushmo levels?

Question

I love the game Pushmo. I like the idea of being able to create and share my own levels, but I am not quite sure how to do that. You get a QR code for every level you create - so do I have to physically show my 3DS to someone to share the level? Or is there a website or something somewhere where I cam upload my QR codes (and possibly get QR codes from other players)?

Answer

You can save the QR codes to image files on your 3DS, and then visit any image upload site using the 3DS browser in order to share them. I found this thread over on the IGN boards where people are trading Pushmo QR codes. I believe loading the game and going into the QR code reader, then aiming your 3DS's camera at the screen should allow you to read them directly off your computer's display.

I believe it is also possible to physically share them as you say - display the QR code on your 3DS, and then use another 3DS's camera to snap a shot of it.

How do I complete Lesson 10 of the Basic Lessons?

Question

I am playing Pushmo on the 3DS and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to complete level 10. There does not seem to be a way to pull out the last block at the top to save the little Pushmo kid that is trapped there.

The only help I get is the old man telling me to "pull the lowest block all the way out" and to "try a side pull if I get stuck." Problem is, I don't know where to go from there.

Help? I would like to complete this level so I can continue the Basic Lessons!

Answer

Apparently you're not the only one who got stuck:

1. Pull out the first block three times
2. Pull the second block twice
3. Jump on the second block
4. Pull out the small block on the left
5. Move to the side and pull it
6. Move back to were you first pulled the small block on the left and pull again.

The trick is the "Side Pull" of the "Left Small Block". You must do 2 side pulls on it and then you should be able to pull out the top two long blocks to reach the goal.
