About the Game

Use the beat to survive.

PulseWave is a rhythm-shooter roguelike where every weapon fires to the beat you create. Build your rhythm, combine weapons and modifiers, and turn simple patterns into devastating sequences.

Create your own attack pattern by assigning weapons to a looping rhythm.

Each weapon fires automatically in sync with your beat, with its own unique sound, turning your build into both a strategy and a composition. Mix different weapons across your rhythm to create wildly different attack patterns. No two runs ever feel the same.

Your movement is driven by your own rhythm.

Each shot pushes your ship through recoil, meaning every weapon you place and every pattern you build directly affects how you move. Master your beat to dodge, reposition, and stay alive in the chaos.

Relics transform your weapons.

Each relic affects all weapons placed within its slot, enabling powerful synergies and unexpected interactions. By combining different relics and weapons, you unlock a huge variety of possible builds, making every run feel fresh.

Face enemies with distinct behaviors and attack patterns

As the run progresses, intensity rises and the battlefield becomes a chaotic test of your build and your rhythm.

Power up the beat

Throughout each run, choose upgrades that enhance your damage, survivability, or add new effects. Adapt to the chaos and scale into increasingly powerful builds.
