PULSE: Resonant Portals

PULSE is a block puzzle with a twist: full rows don't clear. Only links do. Drag pieces onto an 8×8 board and build a path of bricks between the portals. Paths can turn corners, as long as each brick touches the next side by side. Complete the link and the path bursts away, the portals jump to new cells, and you plan the next route. • Play with 2, 3 or 4 portals. With 3 or 4, the route must visit them in order: A → B → C → D. • Diamond cores blast a 3×3 area when a link runs through them, and can set off their neighbors. • Every link charges your energy bar. At 100 it bursts around the piece you just placed. • Link again and again to grow a combo multiplier. • Save a piece for later in the HOLD slot. • Small missions earn XP to level up. • Keep the beat: from the second piece, each turn has a countdown that shrinks from 10 to 5 seconds. Miss it and you lose your combo and a stone drops.…
