Pulse Lock
One button. Hit the lock the instant the pointer crosses it.
How to Play Pulse Lock
- Watch the pointer sweep around the ring toward a lit lock.
- Tap at the moment it crosses. A dead-centre hit pays more than a clipped edge.
- Hatched locks are guards — tapping one costs you charge. Let them pass.
Controls
| Keyboard | Any key to strike |

| Touch | Tap anywhere to strike |
Tips
- Read the ruler under the ring. If your marks pile up on one side you are always early or always late, and that is fixable.
About Pulse Lock
A pointer sweeps around a ring. Tap the moment it crosses a lit lock — dead centre pays most, and the hatched guards must be left alone. It runs directly in your browser with no download or sign-up, on desktop and mobile alike.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Pulse Lock decide a hit is perfect?
By how close to the centre of the lock you tapped. Three tiers pay different scores and restore different amounts of charge.
Why did tapping that lock cost me charge?
It was a guard — drawn hatched with an X across it. Guards are there to be left alone, and skipping one scores.
Does it play the same on a 120Hz phone?
Yes. The sweep and the hit window are measured in real time, not in frames.
