PULSARI

Overall great idea, however it will be nicer if there is a customisation option for track speed (how fast the notes go) and how big is the centre circle (how long the notes appear on screen) It is also very annoying that the difficulties are split according to the judgement window, not sure if this is a good idea as this fundamentally changes how the notes feel across difficulties and effectively locks the practice into 1 difficulty.

Gameplay is all about getting yourself into a rhythm and maintaining it to unlock the whole song. You start with just one layer, the kick, and if you manage to hit enough beats or build a high enough combo, you unlock additional layers. However, if you miss even a single beat, the combo counter resets and you drop back to the kick layer. The game is played by pressing one of four keys when a beat approaches the circle in the middle. You do not need perfect timing to maintain your combo. You can be slightly early or late and still keep it going, although you will not achieve the highest possible score or grade. Score and grade are there mainly for bragging rights on the leaderboards and do not affect progression. Progression to the next song is achieved simply by completing the previous one, but the challenge depends on the mode you choose. In the intended mode, you are allowed only three misses. Exceed that limit and the entire song resets, forcing you to start from the beginning. This mode includes four difficulty settings that affect speed, with the fastest difficulty instantly resetting the song after a single missed beat. In casual mode, on the other hand, you start with the full song already unlocked and can continue playing even if you make too many mistakes. Both modes have separate progression tracks and leaderboards, so you cannot unlock every song in casual mode and then replay it in the intended mode. The songs are decent but nothing particularly memorable, and they feel somewhat generic. In addition to the songs – around 40 songs divided into five sets - , you also unlock cosmetics. These are earned by reaching specific milestones, such as beating a track on Hard difficulty, achieving a high combo, or landing perfect hits, although the latter is currently broken. Cosmetics alter the appearance and colors of the beats, the pulsating circle in the center, and several other visual elements. The main problem lies in the presentation. The pulsating circle in the center consists of several rings and a star that grows with each beat. After a while, it starts covering the rings and completely throws off your rhythm – there’s this constant feeling that the song’s timing is wrong and doesn’t follow the beat. To make matters worse, making a mistake does not clear the remaining notes, so one missed beat is often immediately followed by several more because the notes arrive in quick succession. As a result, the entire experience effectively becomes a one-miss mode, since the remaining allowed mistakes do not help at all.

It looks simple at first but really hard to master. Great for people who loves rhythm challenges and loves to play something in the trip. I'm currently exploring that game but it feels very catchy, some challenges so far feels too hard, but maybe depends on practise. I generally recommend to try.

idk gang it's pretty fun, although no matter how many times I do the calibratrion, it never seems to be right.

🥲👍

Замечательная игра! Очень приятно в нее залипнуть и пожамкать кнопки под приятную музычку. Только есть нюанс - в режиме испытания (насколько я понимаю, это основной режим) если ты криворукий (а я как раз такая), то повайбить под музычку не получится, потому что от пропуска нот музыка сбивается D: https://www.twitch.tv/elvenpyatochka

the game looks incredibly simple but it is genuinely one of the hardest rhythm games I have played in years. the whole gimmick is that the track builds up as you keep your combo, but if you drop a single note, the music strips away and you are left with just a sad kick drum. On hard difficulty track restarts after one miss the base difficulty is already mean. But when you turn on the rotation timing modifier and the one-miss instant restart, it stops being a music game and becomes straight up survival horror for your fingers. It looks like nothing crazy is happening on the screen but you are sweating bullets trying to keep up really good if you hate yourself and love punishing arcade games 👍
