Pulse Rider

Hold Space, the flight pad, or the playfield to rise. Release to fall. Glide through the illuminated openings and reach the end of the circuit.

The first three seconds protect your ship while you settle in. After that, touching the rails or an obstacle ends the attempt. Press Space or Retry to jump straight back in.

Clear a circuit to earn one star and unlock the next. Collect at least two thirds of its energy rings for two stars; collect every ring for three. Clear circuits and earn stars to unlock three additional ships.

Practice gives you a guiding route and unlimited collision protection. Practice flights never replace your normal records or earn unlocks. All progress stays on this device.

Tip. Use short holds. Release before you reach the center of an opening: your ship keeps a little upward momentum.

Hold Space / mouse / touch to rise; release to fall. P or Escape pauses, R retries, M toggles the original soundtrack. The music is optional.
