Pulse & Pole

Pulse & Pole is a rhythm-based combat game where you control two magnetic forces: one positive and one negative. Positioned on opposite sides of the screen, your goal is to defeat an enemy standing between them by matching your inputs to the beat of the music.

As the song plays, the enemy shifts between positive and negative polarity in sync with the rhythm. You must react quickly and choose the opposite polarity at the right moment to attack. As the song progresses, staying on beat becomes increasingly challenging, testing both your timing and reflexes.

Controls:

Q - Positive Magnet

E - Negative Magnet

How it works:

1. The enemy changes polarity in time with the music.
2. If the enemy is positive, use the negative magnet. If the enemy is negative, use the positive magnet.
3. Successful inputs made on the beat deal damage to the enemy.
4. Incorrect inputs or mistimed attacks cause you to lose a life.
5. Lose all three lives, and the level restarts.

Playtime: ~2 minutes
