Flipull (フリップル) is a puzzle game.
Match blocks, get the number down to the goal needed.
The blocks consist of four shapes (X, Square, Circle, Taito Triangle)
You have 3 minutes to clear the board as much as possible.
Throw the blocks into the paths of matching ones, more blocks means more points, swap with non-matching blocks to match others.
Careful, if the move you make gives you no further moves, it's a miss.
You start with 3 wildcard blocks in reserve. You have one free one for your first move.
These blocks are symbolized with a lightning bolt. You get extras at 20,000, 50,000, 100,000, and every 100,000. They also appear in the second row, second column in each level providing you scored at least 10,000 in the previous level. You also get an extra one when you get a perfect.
Getting a perfect or a just clear replaces the shapes with fruit and doubles the points for the next round.
Scoring: (blocks cleared = n² x 100) x multiplier
If you run out of moves and wildcards or time hits 0 and didn't reach the goal, it's game over. You have 3 continues.
