PULSEFORGE
Conduct a neon metropolis to the beat.
◈ Move the cursor with WASD/←↑↓→ over the city grid.
◈ Press SPACE — or tap the beat ring — on the downbeat to place / upgrade / resonate a building. Hit within ±150ms for a PERFECT: it feeds the grid energy, raises your combo, and eases strain.
◈ Buildings generate credits every measure — but the grid only produces while it stays powered (energy > 0). Perfect hits refill energy; a starving grid goes dark.
◈ Off-beat hits and a starving grid raise strain (civic unrest + structural cracks). Strain 100% = BLACKOUT — the run ends.
◈ Harmony (H) on the beat repairs cracked tiles and drops strain city-wide. Sync Pulse (SHIFT+SPACE) on a perfect hit (5+ combo) bursts extra credits.
◈ Banked credits unlock richer districts — Commercial Spine @ 100⛃, Cultural Crown @ 200⛃ — each adding new structures and a new musical layer.
◈ Goal: bank 320 ⛃ to achieve the Symphony. The tighter your rhythm, the faster it flows.
Sound on for the full procedural soundtrack. Touch: tap a tile, then the beat ring. Long-press for Harmony.
