Often players are limited to the set functions of the surrounding world. There are those nagging realities of gravity, physical limitations, an inability to traverse intergalactic distances by the snapping of fingers. Even if one of these limitations is taken away, we are then subject to the limitations of which limitations are not given to us. Make any sense? No? Well, the traditional linearity and limits of the world around us are obstacles to which 3 Core Studio do not make themselves vulnerable with Pulse Shift.
Hardcore Gamer: For a current minimum of $3, you can get Mitsurugi Kamui, Metal Planet, Pulse Shift, Al Emmo and the Lost Dutchman's Mine, Millennium 2 - Take Me Higher, and Fleet Buster.
GameZebo: Who doesn't love a good old first-person puzzler to whittle a Sunday afternoon away, hey? Pulse Shift promises literal twists and turns, as you make your way around a variety of platforms and obstacles, all simply by rotating your view 90 degrees at a time, and in turn changing the direction in which gravity is pulling.
Pulse Shift is a platforming puzzler with a first person perspective and a disregard for physics. Created by the masterminds at 3 Core Studios, the game contains over 50 levels not including the special unlock-able or tutorial levels, and special abilities that allow the player to manipulate gravity, time, and physics. Pulse Shift is currently available on Desura for $9.99 and even has a free demo available.
To provide further insight, I downloaded said demo and here are my thoughts.
Firstly, I was very impressed with the graphics settings in Pulse Shift. When selecting “Config” from the launcher menu, you’re presented with the standard resolution, anti-aliasing, and filtering settings. Unlike most games, you can also change the vertex and pixel shading versions to your liking and/or hardware settings. On top of that you can also change the render system from DirectX 9 to OpenGL.
