Compelled to Play "Compulse"
Posted by Owen Good at 8:00 AM on April 13, 2008
Told you we'd have another Hot Flash. And here's a sweet one right in your hot little hands: Compulse, which excels as only a flash game can: stupid-simple premise, a thought-provoking challenge, addictive replay and best of all, entrancing Asian-theme music. Best of all, it will save your progress (specific to your IP address). And when you start, it tells you "A game has been created in your honour." It's like being pampered at a gamer's day spa.

I've just completed the first 14 levels. I got the pro score in all but the 14th level (because I got that one in 2 under the pro score). I'm really enjoying this game though...good stuff for a simple concept.

Heh, I was playing this yesterday after just finding it, did not even think of sending it in as a tip. It is a very fun little game.

@Elijah Man:
There's some out there that have it. Not many mind you, but they're out there. The Portal flash game comes to mind, as well as some of those escape games that my lady likes to play.

I got all the way to level 16, and I had to give up. Why? Because it's BBQ time baby!

@Bam345: Figured it out just as I posted, I thought I had to press go before using any blocks >_>, ignore my last comment.

Uh, I know I'm being a complete idiot, but I can't figure out how to do anything in the game... How do I drop blocks on the stage, or even do ANYTHING except navigate the menu?

I remember a few years ago in high school physics playing "electric field hockey" which required getting a charge into a goal by placing other charges to get it around obstacles. This is a more evolved (and definitely more fun) version of that.

Got to level 21 before stopping. Although I got Pro on most levels (i think I even got under pro on one), I think I was able to finish a few too many levels by letting the ball bounce madly around the screen until it hit everything.

Oh man, what a fun game. Felt like a p.i.m.p. when I finished L 14 with 2 tiles instead of the Pro 5. Though now I feel more like a g.i.m.p. because of how stuck I am on 18.

jmtb02 is my favorite flash game designer. The games there just have so much panache and style.

I made pro on the first 20 levels (or under pro which I guess makes me better then the dev of the game) and stopped. Great flash game

I could see this being a pretty amusing DS title if they made enough stages / tried to build on the idea a bit more.
Real fun addictive stuff.

Gah, I can't seem to get pro on level 20! I don't know what to do, it eas even hard to do it with 6 pieces.

@Vorpal: Did you just call yourself a liar? Anyway, level 14 is possible with only 2:

Got through all 25 levels there. Some of them are really clever. Need to go back and try to beat the over par ones, but for now I need sleep. It's 4:30am!

@Contrapulator: I did, in fact, call myself a liar because I did it with 3 and not 2.
Very nice though! I should have guessed that it was possible with 2, but I couldn't figure it out at all.

200%, pro or less on every level.
For lvl 20, I went with bottom left -> top left -> bottom right -> top right. No problem with 5 pieces.
Great game! Couldn't stop playing.

This was pretty fun, but did anyone else find that if they had numerous blocks close together that the game became a little glitchy when you tried to pick the one you wanted to move with your mouse? Sometimes it would keep grabbing the same block over and over until I moved it very far away from that area. I just found that frustrating.
But as Witzbold said, with more levels and some other modes this could be a really cool DS game.

and if they fixed the glitchy way the ball acts around the edges of the one-way walls.

Stuck at level 20 but only because I'm going for the pro score. This is a great puzzle game. Even when you hit a mine the sound effects are soothing so it doesn't break your concentration.
Back to puzzling.

I got addicted to this game and ended up getting 10 under the pro score. The levels I got under pro score were
lvl-pro score-my score
11-2-1 19-5-4
14-5-2 20-5-4
16-3-2 21-5-4
17-2-1 24-4-3
Ive been trying to get lvl 26 with 5 but its probably impossible.
