Aim. Ricochet. Draft. PULSE VOLLEY is a neon-soaked roguelite brick breaker: point to aim like a bubble shooter, volley a swarm of energy balls, and draft a new power-up every few waves. No two runs play the same. POINT-TO-AIM CONTROLS No paddles, no dragging backwards. Aim exactly where you point, watch the ricochet preview, release to fire. One hand is all you need. ROGUELITE DRAFT SYSTEM Every 3 waves, pick 1 of 3 power-ups and stack your build: - 18 unique skills across Common / Rare / Epic rarities - Ball mods: Heavy Ball, Fire Ball, Pierce, Split, Swift - Field control: Laser Strike, Cryo Freeze, Shield, Chain Zap - Economy plays: Coin Rush, Fragment Charm and more Synergize ball count, damage and field effects to melt entire boards. BOSS FIGHTS EVERY 10 LEVELS Face four distinct bosses - Splitter, Summoner, Aegis and Reflector - each with its own attack pattern and a fat fragment bounty. CHAPTERS WITH THEIR OWN LOOK The neon palette shifts as you climb: cyan grids, golden vaults, magenta voids. Elites glow, combos burst, everything pops. DAILY CHALLENGE One fixed-seed board per day. Same bricks for everyone - how deep can you go? META PROGRESSION Bank coins and fragments from every run, then invest in permanent upgrades: starting balls, base damage, aim assist and shields.
