Pulse of Void

Pulse of Void is a minimalist, fast-paced rhythm action game.

Your goal is simple: rotate the shield around the core in the center of the screen to block incoming attacks from all sides, matching the beat of the music.

Controls

• W / A / S / D or Arrow Keys — Rotate the shield
• ESC — Menu / Pause
• F11 — Toggle Fullscreen

Attack Types

• Normal (White) — Just block 'em. Your bread-and-butter attacks.
• Heavy (Red) — Deal massive damage and knock your shield backward.
• Ghost (Blue) — DO NOT BLOCK. Let them pass right through, or you'll take damage.
• Delayed (Yellow) — They freeze mid-air, take a step back, and then suddenly rush in. Timing is everything.
• Mirror (Green) — A direct tribute to Undyne's yellow arrows. They approach from one side, but right before hitting the core, they spin around by 180° and attack from the opposite side.

Key Features

• Stats & Progression: The game saves your best rank (S to F), minimum damage taken, and total attempts for each level.
• Inspiration: Deeply inspired by the Green Soul mechanic from the Undyne fight in Undertale.

About Levels (and my mapping skills)

The game features 6 main levels and a tutorial.

Let’s be real here: I’m not exactly a rhythm game charting master, so technically this plays more like a "semi-rhythmic" arcade game. If you can make better charts than mine (which honestly isn't that hard) — go for it, I'd be thrilled!

Which brings us to...

Built-in Level Editor (and credits to my silicon friend)

To save my own sanity, I built LevelEditor.exe. And let's be completely honest here: Google Gemini basically did the heavy lifting for the code, while I acted as the visionary director (and Chief Bug Tester). But hey, it works ALMOST flawlessly!

• Record attacks in real-time right to the music.
• Customize background colors, static images, or animated GIFs.
• Add custom sounds for any direction and arrow type.
• Export your creations directly into the game with a single click.

P.S. In all seriousness, I have no idea why the game might occasionally lag even on my own PC... Maybe writing a rhythm action game completely in Python wasn't my brightest idea. Please don't hate me.

P.S. P.S. I don’t know English for shit. This whole thing was written by an AI, so there might be some random bullshit in here because LLMs just love to make stuff up.
