Pulse Hunter is a new game from Jamstar Heroes (made up of myself, Orie Falconer, and Kiel Gaiger). This time around, Pulse Hunter was created for GGJ 2013.
The theme of GGJ 2013 was "heartbeat" or "the sound of a heartbeat". Whichever was you want to say it, we took that idea turned it into the wonderful little game you see before you. In Pulse Hunter, you move around a map at the same time as an AI that can sense your "heartbeat" which is simulated through the vibrations of controller. The closer the AI gets to the player, the more the controller vibrates. The game ends when the AI catches you within the maze.
Unfortunately, the controller vibrations only work in the standalone version of the game. So when online, you'll have to rely on the visual and audio cues instead!
