Is there a file to start on the game page?

Wow, the game does have potential!

I wanted to drop the game first because I didn't understand how to leave the med bay, and then how to start the ship. I think the game needs a little interface rework. E.g., accent the door so it is clear that this is an interactive UI element.

But my patience rewarded me. I felt that atmosphere that one could feel in the claustrophobic Barotrauma or the hostile FTL.

Rhythm genre reinvention. Awesome. 5/5

Rhythm genre reinvention. Awesome.

Fix the invisible books or I'm calling 911

Really fun. Difficult, original, serious.

Reminds me of brr brr patapim ahah

You're the tornado. Eat the county.

You start as a dust devil that can't lift a coffee cup. You end as a sky-blackening Perfect Tornado that drags barns off their foundations. Everything between those two points is the county, and the county is food.

The loop: a warning siren goes off and you've got about 14 seconds. You drift over a farm and the wind does the rest, peeling up cows, hay bales, fence posts, panicking chickens, the odd tractor. You can't take it all before the siren dies, so you choose. The fat herd by the fence, or the tractor across the field? Whatever you swallow is what the storm becomes.

No energy timers. No "watch an ad to keep playing." No install. Just you, a mouse, and a county having the worst afternoon of its life.

It's fresh out and I'm still tuning, so tell me one thing: what rating did you hit before you stopped? (And yes, you can pet the cow on the title screen. Everyone asks.)

Thanks, glad you like it! It's built in HTML5 + Phaser 3. The tornado funnel and most of the effects are drawn on a 2D canvas.

Pros: I won 1000

Cons: I wanted a million

I love the art! Hamster is adorable! And a great idea for the theme!

Would be awesome to add some score since hitting the object doesn't punish players

Simple and fun!

Most rhythm games hand you the finished song. PULSARI makes you hold it together.

You're on a rotating four-lane nexus, starting in near silence. Hit the directional beats clean and the track stacks up under you: kick, then bass, then arps, then the full mix. Your combo is the song. Keep it and the music swells; miss and it thins out, and on the hard modes three misses ends the run. Falling apart sounds as deliberate as nailing it.

The demo, free in your browser:

• 41 tracks, 80 to 250 BPM, across five sets that go from approachable to genuinely punishing
• Four difficulty modes, timing windows from ±70ms down to ±20ms
• Build the song yourself in Challenging (three-miss fail), or take the full mix from the start in Casual (no fail)
• Full controller support (Xbox, PlayStation, Switch Pro) or keyboard
• 30 cosmetic unlocks, offset calibration, English / Japanese / 简体中文

Plays best with a controller and headphones. (Heads up: heavy flashing and high-contrast motion.)
