Can you feel time without counting? Pulse is a minimalist timing game that challenges your internal sense of rhythm and intuition. Hold a button, release at the perfect moment, and see how close you really were - down to the millisecond. Core gameplay This is not about speed or reflexes. It is about feel. You are given a target time. You hold. You release. And the time is revealed. Game modes Zen Mode Calm, focused, and guided. Subtle haptic feedback pulses every second to help you build a natural rhythm. Chaos Mode Unpredictable and intense. Random haptics break the rhythm, forcing you to rely purely on instinct. Why you will love it • Minimal, distraction-free design • Precision feedback down to the millisecond • Two distinct modes: calm and chaotic • Haptic-driven gameplay • No accounts, no clutter, just focus Whether you are chasing perfect precision or simply testing your intuition, Pulse turns time itself into the challenge.
