Impulse Control is a projectile launching game that features realistic building destruction and assigns you a personality type at the end. Meet the warden of Polar Labs and his sidekick, Marlin. Journey through the 4 elements, answering questions about yourself. Enjoy destroying a structure that is connected like a real building - not just a pile of blocks. Impulse Control calls on you to collapse 3 unique structure types developed by a structural engineer. Find out which of the 4 elements describes you the best. Defeat the meanies in over 25 levels and accumulate points to unlock your unique personality profile. Knock down the unique structures in each level with well-placed shots, harmonic resonance, or brute force to create havoc and squash the meanies. This game is not intended to treat any disorders. Impulse control is something we can all practice. "For every minute we remain angry, we give up 60 seconds of peace of mind" so don't be a meanie, give impulse control a try.
