Pulsen: Souleye · published
Pulsen Build 1.2 is here bringing with it a ton of new content, a new note timing window, as well as various polish and fixes. Pulsen is a music and rhythm game currently in Steam Early Access with core gameplay involving hitting four directional arrows to the beat of the music as they pass by the screen (similar to games such as Dance Dance Revolution or In The Groove).
13 new songs have been added to Pulsen, for a total of 80 songs in game. Songs include a remix of the viral Nyan Cat, music by the popular artist Renard, a track by dance game music veteran Oscillator X, and more. The new songs are listed below, and can be listened to in Pulsen’s Build 1.2 Song Preview video.

2. Commuting - The Queenstons
3. Cosmo Memory - Losstarot

In addition to the new songs, some previous songs have seen updates. Several bonus charts have been added, and include some of the most difficult charts in Pulsen. There have also been revisions to over a dozen existing charts with updated effects, timings, rhythms, and fixing minor issues.
A new note timing called “Ludicrous” has been added to Pulsen, inspired by the Ridiculous timing seen in DDR and StepMania. The timing window for Ludicrous is only 11.25 milliseconds, making it the narrowest timing window in Pulsen and twice as difficult to get as the Fantastic timing. Ludicrous timing has been implemented to provide all players with an extra challenge they can optionally strive for, and to make Pulsen more competitive for players that want it.
Pulsen has also seen many minor improvements. These include revised option menus, noteskin previews during noteskin selection, some updated images and more consistent colors, and of course bug fixes.
Pulsen will feature over 80 songs, with at least 5 difficulty levels for every song. It can be played on a dance pad, computer keyboard, or controller as solo or local two player. Steam integration allows comparing scores in game, and will include achievements and trading cards.
