About Impulse, From Here!

One explosion and we're on our way! An action game with a new feel


The protagonist, AKAHO, has the ability to cause an explosion.
By hitting the explosion, she can move at great speed!
The game makes full use of these explosions to clear various stages.

A variety of stages and three routes you can take to and from


Stages vary from dodging enemy barrages, to moving fast incessantly, to carrying boxes in explosions, and more!
Furthermore, the game doesn't just clear stages in a straight line, some of the stages have branches inside, allowing you to go between three different routes!
You'll find something new every time you play!

I'm glad to be dead! A special kind of beaten performance


akaho is so poor that the slightest thing other than an explosion will kill her!
But there's a little bit of sexiness when she dies, so it's half as gruesome!
If you're tired of the game, you can enjoy looking at dead AKAHO!

✦ AI summary

Players have sharply divided opinions on this platformer. Supporters praise its stylish minimalist visuals, dynamic impulse-based movement mechanics, well-designed levels with satisfying progression, and atmospheric soundtrack that complements the fast-paced gameplay. Critics find the core gimmick underwhelming, dislike the low-poly 3D art style, and feel the platforming and bullet-hell hybrid gameplay is mediocre overall, with the game's free status suggesting it failed commercially for good reason.

Игра 'Impulse, From Here!' – это яркий и динамичный платформер, который сразу же цепляет своим минималистичным, но стильным визуальным оформлением. Геймплей построен на использовании рывков для перемещения и преодоления препятствий, что создает ощущение постоянного движения и требует от игрока быстрой реакции и точного расчета. Поначалу управление кажется простым, но с каждым уровнем игра подкидывает новые испытания, заставляя осваивать сложные комбинации рывков и использовать окружение в своих интересах. Особенно хочется отметить атмосферу игры. Саундтрек отлично дополняет динамичный геймплей, создавая напряжение и подталкивая к новым попыткам. Уровни продуманы до мелочей и предлагают множество интересных решений для прохождения. По мере продвижения открываются новые возможности и способности, что добавляет реиграбельности и подстегивает интерес к дальнейшему исследованию мира игры. 'Impulse, From Here!' – это отличный выбор для любителей сложных и динамичных платформеров, которые не боятся бросить вызов своим рефлексам и пространственному мышлению. Небольшая продолжительность компенсируется высокой сложностью и необходимостью оттачивать свои навыки до совершенства. Рекомендую в…

"Impulse, From Here!" is a poorly made hybrid bullet hell/platformer with a gimmick where you can drop an explosive which propels you a bit... I said "gimmick", I didn't say "good gimmick". This adds little to an otherwise extremely mediocre platforming experience. This features fairly low quality low poly 3D visuals which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably. Gaming is a visual medium, and it's clear the developers behind this didn't understand that. It's free... now, but it wasn't before. It's a nice gesture for the game to be given away for free, but it also tells us that the game wasn't good enough to succeed as a paid product. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at just a dozen or so concurrent players, and now there's basically nobody playing it. Even though it's free. This is a dismal public reception, but it's easy to see why gamers rejected it. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Not this time. This isn't worth downloading. While this won't cost you any money, you get what…
