About Pulse
Tap to boost. Survive a 30-second level. Pick a Alignment to take into the next. Alignments stack. By level 3 your runs feel different every time.
Pulse is a one-thumb tap-roguelike - Boost timing meets Slay-the-Spire drafts. Built for short sessions and long progression.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
· Tap-to-flap physics that reward muscle memory
· Draft 1 of 3 Alignments after every level - they compound
· From level 3, choose 1 of 3 Anomalies that make every Boon sweeter
· Pick from 11 Progenitors with their own playstyles - Pulse, Red Giant, Pulsar, Shard, Comet Halley, Singularity, Binary, Prism, Phoenix, Quasar, Geode
· Beat your local best — per-Progenitor leaderboards
· Earn orbs, spend them in the Stellarium on cosmetic skins, trails, gates, horizons, orbs, and burst effects
NO DARK PATTERNS
· No ads. No banners, no interstitials.
· No energy timers. Play as much as you want, no waiting.
· No loot boxes. Every IAP shows exactly what you get.
· No accounts. No signup, no email, nothing to leak.
· Plays fully offline. Saves on-device.
THE NUMBERS
· 36 Alignments · 33 Anomalies · 11 Progenitors
· 40-tier seasonal Pulse Pass
· 30-second levels — runs are 5 minutes or 50, your call
· Portrait, designed for one thumb
WHO IT'S FOR
If you've enjoyed Threes, Vampire Survivors, Slay the Spire, or any flap-tap arcade - Pulse is in that lane. Light enough for between-meetings. Heavy enough for one more run.
Made in Australia by Biological Games - a one-person studio.
