Flipull: An Exciting Cube Game, also known as Plotting in Europe, is a puzzle game that was initially released as an arcade game and was later ported to consoles such as the Famicom and the Game Boy and home computers such as the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum. The goal of the game is to clear a grid of full of blocks so that there's only one of each block left. This is done by throwing blocks at other blocks of the same type. If the thrown block hits one of a different type, they switch places and you get the other block.
The Famicom version has two modes: "Normal", where a fixed number of blocks are placed randomly, and "Advance", where those blocks have fixed positions. In this run, TaoTao ( tasvideos.org/... ) plays on the "Advance" mode and completes all 50 stages in record time with the help of a solving script.

This is a really cool idea for a puzzle game, I'm gonna have to find a copy now

[@megawolf77]

Ah, my favorite game since childhood! That puzzle mode was hard since there's an exact solution. Nice TAS!

A cryptic adventure packed with sensationalism, slander, BDSM, and serendipitous situations.

One of earlier usages for Squares, X-Crosses, Triangles & Circles before Sony PlayStation appropriating it for their controller face buttons.

[@DemonicAkumi]

So far I reached level 10 of the video and... I have no clue how this game is played.
EDIT: Contraturation indeed. I still have no clue how this is played.

It seems that:
- Cubes are thrown to destroy matching ones
- If a cube it hits doesn't match, it is given to you
- A cube that hits the edge goes down and swaps with that one
- Power represents how many throws you can do.
- Clear is how many should be left to "clear" the level.

@@edward9487 clear is always number of different symbols-1, as the last of any symbol cannot be cleared. You gai more points by clearing multiple with a toss, but you must take care that you don't render the puzzle unsolvable. power is you move limit for the puzzle, but many can be cleared in less.
