A world has been silent for forty years. You have the frequency. Star Pulse is a one-tap timing game. Launch relays into orbit around a spinning planet, slip each one into a free gap, and close the ring before anything collides. When the last relay locks in, the planet answers. • One tap to launch; timing is everything • Sectors that spin faster and fill with drifting debris as you climb • Bring new worlds online with the coins you earn. They change how the sky looks, never how the game plays • Star Pass seasons with free and premium reward tracks • A daily bonus, three quests a day and a chest every five sectors • A leaderboard of everyone reporting in • Progress is backed up; Sign in with Apple to carry it to a new device • Available in 12 languages Your cells refill over time, so there is always another pass waiting.
