Pulse Dodge
Pulse Dodge is a fast reflex survival game set inside a neon arena. Your ship orbits the rim of a circle on a fixed track while glowing projectiles converge on you from the centre and the walls. A single tap reverses your orbit — that is your only control. Survive as the bolts grow faster and denser wave after wave, grab pulse orbs for a brief shield, and push your survival time as high as your nerves allow.
How to play
- Your ship orbits the ring automatically — tap, or press Space, to reverse its direction.
- Weave between the neon bolts streaming in from the centre and the arena rim.
- Glide over a glowing pulse orb on your ring to gain a short shield that absorbs one hit.
- Each wave the bolts get faster, denser, and some begin to curve as they fly.
- A single unshielded hit ends the run — your survival time is your score.
Tips
- Tap rhythmically rather than spamming — each flip commits you, so reverse with intent, not panic.
- Watch the centre and the rim at once; bolts launch from both, and a curving bolt changes its lane mid-flight.
- Detour to grab a pulse orb when the screen is busy — a shield buys you a careless pass through a tight cluster.
