About

Office Pulse

Features
Read full description

Office Pulse is a top-down office puzzle game about turning paper chaos into clean digital workflows. Each level begins as a busy workplace floor plan filled with desks, documents, printers, fax machines, partitions, and office clutter. Your job is to trace the right paper-to-data paths between matching employees and gradually digitize the office. As workflows are completed, paper disappears, old devices power down, and the office transforms into a cleaner, calmer workspace. This is not just a grid puzzle. Office Pulse wraps each challenge in a workplace progression system: clear campaign levels, earn stars, improve your best times, unlock badges, complete daily challenges, and climb through office career ranks. Features: - Top-down office floor-plan puzzle boards - Custom office assets including desks, workers, documents, printers, fax machines, partitions, and floor styling - Campaign progression with increasing complexity - 3-star goals for completion, flawless play, and target time - Daily Challenge mode with a fresh offline challenge each day - Career ranks, badges, promotions, and performance statistics - Paperless-office completion moments when the last workflow is digitized - Best-time tracking and overall progress history - Battery Saver and visual settings for smoother play - Optional one-time ad-free upgrade Office Pulse is designed for quick sessions, focused logic play, and satisfying progression. Every solved path makes the workplace a little more digital, a little less cluttered, and a lot more under control.
