Relax, play some SPEEDcluster

by James Ransom-Wiley { Feb 23rd 2007 at 8:55PM }

Joystiq's own Vlad Cole put us on to this casual gem. Don't be frightened away by the pervasive foreign language that waits after you hit the link; the objective is easily explained: Across the bottom are your cards. You'll want to pluck them up with your cursor and toss 'em into the four columns, building combinations of cards (in ascending or descending order; e.g., 4-3-4-5, etc...) based on the cards that are falling. (Hint: you can go 'around the corner,' i.e., King-Ace-2, and vice versa). Enjoy!

ManekiNeko @ Feb 24th 2007 2:38AM

Is this Wii compatible, by chance?

scott @ Feb 24th 2007 3:09AM

love the game, wish the controls were a little easier, like being able to hit 1-4 on keyboard to move it to a column

joe @ Feb 24th 2007 4:12AM

503790, level 104.. at about this point my eyes fell out.

Sinister Rouge @ Feb 24th 2007 8:04AM

228180, Lev 49. Was fun but didn't run very well on my PC =/

ZigZag @ Feb 24th 2007 12:34PM

The in-game mouse felt very sluggish. Anyone think this would play well on the DS?

Thomas @ Feb 24th 2007 12:42PM

Not recommended for touchpads. This is a really fun game, though. But I don't understand the scoring.

ManekiNeko @ Feb 24th 2007 1:39PM

It will indeed work on the Nintendo Wii. Picture's kind of tiny, though!

One fun thing I've noticed is that you can count up AND down, all in the same cluster of cards. Say you've played 4, 5, and 6 on a cluster already... you can drop a 5 on that cluster and it still counts.

doogles @ Feb 24th 2007 3:36PM

Jon @ Feb 24th 2007 9:45PM

I love the music to this game. Its the only thing that makes me keep playing.

Phil @ Feb 24th 2007 10:05PM

578380. Level 119. lol at first time playing. It seemed kinda sluggish to me but I have a horrible computer anyways.

XLpin0y @ Feb 25th 2007 6:11PM

i love this game!!!
and i wonder what the C.P. does.....*hmm*

Revo @ Feb 25th 2007 11:12PM

Score: 464,550
Level: 96
Max combo: 27
Card count: 509

It's considerably easier on the Wii since the game moves more slowly while the cursor still moves at normal speed. For comparison, my best score on my computer is 144,000 or so.

But man was that 27-card combo satisfying.
