The Story

The city beats. You answer.

You are Echo, a courier working the rain-slick streets of Vertex City. When the metropolis's central AI starts broadcasting a signal that bends people to its rhythm, you discover your heartbeat can break the loop. Sync your movements to the score, fight through 40+ hand-designed stages, and decide whether the city's pulse should be saved or silenced.

Gameplay

What makes Neon Pulse tick

Six systems working in concert to make every encounter feel like a duet between you and the soundtrack.

Adaptive Score

The 28-track original soundtrack adapts to your tempo. Every encounter is a remix in real time.

Beat-Sync Combat

Land attacks on the downbeat for damage multipliers. Miss the beat and the city fights back harder.

Hand-Painted World

40+ stages across six districts, each with its own palette, tempo and story. No two levels look alike.

Endless Mode

A roguelike endless mode remixes stages, enemies and soundtracks on every run for hundreds of hours.

Full Accessibility

Colorblind palettes, adjustable tempo, single-button mode and full controller remapping out of the box.

Spatial Audio

Full 3D positional mixing for headphones. Hear the beat before you see the enemy that moves to it.
