We rated our games Impulse and Robo Pinball with TIGRS, The Independent Game Rating System. Both games are family friendly and can be played by everybody without any concern.

Impulse was reviewed by Out of Eight PC Game Reviews and received a fantastic rating of 6/8.

The reviewer especially liked the following features of Impulse:
Timing controls make it easy to make small changes, a lot of levels, solutions are provided, good physics model with multiple puzzle elements.

Impulse takes a relatively simple concept and makes a high-quality game out of it. The game features a high number of varied puzzles, easy to learn mechanics, and multiple solutions with answers for each level, and that's all you really need for a pleasant puzzle game.

Impulse was reviewed by Game Tunnel in the "October 2006 Indie Game Monthly Round-Up" and received a combined score of 6.8.

A really cool and original game. [...] it does add a lot of good ideas with different bombs and a well-implemented and really useful time slider. [...] The scoring system is good and encourages you to really work out the best path.

Jay Bibby from Jay is Games has written an extensive review about Impulse. Here is a quote from the review:

As impressed as I was with the presentation of Robo Pinball before it, Impulse is even more polished and appealing. The user interface is very easy to navigate, it rivals many commercial offerings, and it includes a variety of features that serve to extend the replay value of the game.
