About Pulse Arena
Pulse Arena drops you into a round neon arena that fills up with enemies the longer you last. Chasers follow you, chargers wind up and rush in straight lines, and turrets fire slow orbs across the floor.
Your one move is the dash. While dashing you can't be hit, and anything you dash through pops. The dash needs about a second to recharge, so timing is everything.
Gems and power-ups appear around the arena. A shield absorbs hits for a few seconds, slow-mo slows every enemy down, and nova clears everything near you in one blast.
How to play
| Action | Keyboard & mouse | Touch |
|---|---|---|
| Move | WASD or arrow keys | Drag with your left thumb |
| Dash | Space, Shift or click | DASH button or tap the right side |
Scoring
You score 10 points per second survived, 25 per gem and 15 for every enemy you pop. The game-over screen shows your time, pops and gems.
Tips
- Keep moving in wide circles. Standing still lets chasers surround you.
- Save the dash for escapes. A dash on cooldown is the most common way to get zapped.
- Chargers show an orange aim line before they rush. Step off the line, then dash through them as they pass.
- Grab gems near the edge when the middle is crowded, and keep nova for emergencies.
