How it feels

Zipping through sci-fi corridors, frantically adjusting momentum by shooting force fields while a funny story tries to keep you calm between punishing speedruns.

What players say

Players say Impulsion is a solid but short Portal-inspired first-person platformer focused on speed and reflexes, best picked up on sale for its 2-3 hour length. Opinions split on difficulty and controls: some find the movement fluid and satisfying, while others cite finicky aiming, inconsistent acceleration, and an obnoxious narrator that insults you after every death.
