About This Game

Forget bullets. In Cyberpulse, your weapon is physics.

Grab viruses with cyberkinetic forces. Slam them into each other. Fling them into molten firewalls. Yank an incoming enemy and use its momentum against the next wave. Every enemy on screen is a projectile waiting to happen — if you're fast enough to see it.

Cyberpulse is a twin-stick arcade shooter that inverts the genre's core rule: instead of shooting, you throw. The result is a game built around spatial awareness, reaction speed, and the deeply satisfying physics of sending a virus careening into a wall at full speed.
