About Project PULSE

NOTE: This is a student project created in an educational setting by senior Game Development students at the Savannah College of Art and Design.

Team up with your friends or go solo to save the city of Jamford from sound-hungry monsters! Keep in touch with the news to find citizens in need of help.

Attack on the beat for stronger hits, and hold to the next beat for a powerful charge attack.

Choose between four characters, each with their own attack style and role in your team's music.

Build new weapons to make new sounds and instruments for your character!

Explore Jamford, a procedurally generated city with a different layout every time you play!

Yeah so this game looked promising, but when I played, just nothing worked. Like, you could fight, but it was not as advertised and kinda was depressing to play. If you want to play a rhythm game, i highly recommend Muse Dash instead of this. It's not free, but it's very cheap.

Where do I start... Loaded up the game, you are forced to use keyboard to get through the first menu, controller won't work at the start. When you do get to character selection, 1 mouse and keyboard player will always stay selected, can't disable it. The entire character selection menu is buggy, some key presses are not registered, some characters/equipment won't appear. When by some miracle I got to try playing, the game doesn't tell you what to do. Very clunky gameplay. Loaded a 2nd character with the controller and the camera stopped working. I almost forgot, LAG!!! As if everything above was not enough, the frame rate made it completely unplayable.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
