Petal Pulse
Time each petal's growth so its tip lands inside a rotating arc's band the instant the arc reaches the top of the flower.
How to play
Hold anywhere (or hold Space) to grow the petal outward from the ring; release to lock its length. When the arc's center reaches the top of the flower, your petal tip must be inside the arc's band — too short, past the outer edge, or nothing locked ends the run. Each catch grows the ring, speeds up the next arc, and moves the band. Stage 2 reverses arc direction, Stage 3 sends two arcs, Stage 4 narrows the band. Tap the pause button (or press P / Escape) to pause; tap or press P / Escape / Space to resume.
Controls
- Tap / Click / Touch and hold: grow the petal; release to lock it
- Space: hold to grow, release to lock
- Pause button / P / Escape: pause; tap or P / Escape / Space to resume
Tips
- Start holding when the arc is roughly half a turn away — the extension speed is fixed, so distance and arc speed set your timing.
- From catch 5 the band's distance from the ring changes every round, so watch the band, not your muscle memory.
- In Stage 2, arcs alternate direction — read which way the arc travels before committing.
- In Stage 3, two arcs arrive back to back; lock for the first, then be ready to re-hold quickly for the follower.
- Don't over-extend past the band's outer edge while waiting — releasing too long ends the run immediately.
About Petal Pulse
Petal Pulse is a one-button timing game. A colored arc spins toward the 12 o'clock position on a flower. Hold to grow your petal outward and release to lock its length — when the arc arrives, your petal tip must sit inside its radial band or the run ends. The first ten seconds are gentle, but every catch speeds up the next arc by 10 deg/s (up to 200) and, from catch 5, shifts the band's distance from the ring each round, so the right hold time changes every time. The hardest settings arrive around catch 12, roughly a minute of clean play. Every 4 catches brings a new stage with a banner: Stage 2 alternates the arc's rotation direction, Stage 3 sends two arcs one after another, and Stage 4 narrows the band. A pause button sits in the top-right corner while playing; the game also pauses automatically when you switch tabs. Runs are endless — chase your best score.
