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 "Normal" mode and completes all 50 stages in record time with the help of a script to manipulate the RNG so that the most optimal puzzles are generated. For more information on how this is done, you can read the author's notes ( tasvideos.org/... ).

I used to have a bootleg Super 110-in-1 NES cartridge with this on it when I was a wee one. Great game, I just wasn't very good at it. This is quite satisfying.

[@Levin_Pilot_246]

that cartridge, maybe was actually called SUPER 190 in 1? that contains like 85-86 games, while the rest are the same games with level variations/mods/and life adjustments? because I own that cartridge still. I still enjoy Flipull up to this date, Taito, should re-release it, it is addictive

​@@Levin_Pilot_246I have that same Super 190-in-1 cartridge, but I first played Flipull on Game Boy. I hit a kill screen at Level 49 once on the Game Boy port.

After you beaten all 50 levels, it goes to stage 51, but the timer gets faster. The maximum stage is 250.

[@lisamariefan]

I didn't know this game had credits lol.

[@XenoGuru]

Was this made by Taito? Those blue triangle symbols in the first stage look like their old logo.

[@intylab]

Yes
