PulseCharge

This game has a unique game mechanic I've never seen used before and is just overall really awesome to use. My only complaints with the game so far is the movement can feel slow at times and you dont have much control over your jumps, for example in a Megaman game you can control the height of your jumps and such, here if you even lightly tap Z, your character goes flying all the way up into some traps. Overall I...

PulseCharge is a compact but ambitious action-platformer that proudly embraces its indie identity. Developed and published by Frozenmerk Games, it takes a familiar genre—precision 2D platforming—and builds its entire personality around one distinctive mechanic: absorbing enemy attacks to generate energy, then using that stored power to move, attack, and overcome otherwise impossible obstacles. Rather than dodging...

This just a barebones boring platformer that has stupid design choice for making it a platforming game. In order to move through the levels you need to do this one move that freezes you in one spot and you have to get hit by enemy projectiles and you turn into a heart for some odd reason and shoot across sections of the levels. Personally I don't like that mechanic and I believe they could do a better job than...

I suppose the first thing that made me dislike this game is the fact that it is just frigging hideous looking. Just look at the screenshots... I must have been gifted this game or it was in a bundle because I never would have thought about purchasing something that looks like a half-digested sonic on acid. Add in stiff controls, lame level design and odd music and you have yourself a loser. :( Sorry developers.

Disclaimer: I write this review only after beating 2 levels. PulseCharge is rather simple game. On each level, you must find and unlock 2 different power-up, then find "switch" to unlock the exit gate. The core game mechanics are unique and rather interesting. You can absorb enemy attack in order to move to specific direction, blast through obstracle or simply avoid taking damage. That's probably the only great...

Can't help to think that it could have been alot more. Graphics are so-so, partly really nice, and partly something hastly made in paint. Playing with keyboard is really clunky, so if you buy this, you really should have a controller. Still it gets the job done, but there are platformers out there that do most things a little better. But based on the price, you get what you pay for I suppose. Still, not a bad game,...
