Our take on Proton Pulse

Rather than keeping brick-breaking on a flat screen, the game moves paddle-and-ball play into virtual reality and adds a device that slows the action. Its stage-based arcade structure remains familiar while the viewpoint and time-control mechanic depart from the usual format.

What is Proton Pulse?

Proton Pulse is a virtual-reality arcade game built around brick-breaking and paddle control.

Players direct the Proton, an energy ball, toward targets while confronting M. O. A. I. , an entity threatening the world. The game presents the action in three dimensions and includes a Space-Time Dilator that slows events when the ball is moving too quickly, allowing a missed shot to become a successful return. Progression spans more than 50 levels, with the objective of destroying the M. O. A. I. core. The soundtrack includes music from Jake Kaufman [Virt], Dan Behrens [Danimal Cannon], and Justin Moravetz [Rave-TZ].
