Pulse Dive

Sharper graphics, a classroom mode for teachers, and a simpler start. SHARPER, DEEPER DIVES • HD graphics are rebuilt to draw the dive on the GPU. • The dive has depth: colour nebulae, soft lights in front of the run, shockwave ripples when you smash, and heat haze around your orb. • Settings > Graphics lets you turn each effect on or off. • In Low Power Mode, or when the phone runs hot, the game lowers its resolution. If it gets hot, HD pauses until it cools. FOR THE CLASSROOM • Classroom mode opens the Gravity Lab and Solar System Lab directly, with no game menus or rewards on screen. Turn it on in Settings > Science, or open a classroom link. • Classroom mode has its own Science Quiz, with no rewards. • Kepler's law figures now use NASA's sidereal orbital periods. A SIMPLER START • New players see three choices: Drop In, Guided Drop and the Observatory. The rest opens after the first drop. • Replay the Guided Drop at any time from Settings. • Ranks and Mastery are now tabs in the bottom bar. • The Observatory puts the labs first. YOUR VESSEL • Vessel Studio shows every option as a tile, with a larger live preview, in HD when HD is on. • Trail particles now recolour your orb's own sparks. • The phoenix beats its wings, the koi's fins ripple and the dragon's tail slithers. IN THE DROP • A new level-cleared screen, with rank medallions. • After a continue, the dive waits for your touch. • The module button is bigger and ripples when a charge is ready. • Fixes for Ranks after a progress reset, a Star Forge crash, and missions that counted twice
