The music, graphics, and multi-touch, immersive, gaming experience is second to none. If you desire an app that will not only provide you with hours of joy, but will make you the envy of all you show it to, Pulse: Volume One is more than worth your $4.99.”- TheIpadFan“I haven’t seen anything out there like Pulse, and highly anticipate any future work that Cipher Prime has in store for us.”- The Indie Game MagazineCIPHER PRIMECipher Prime is a multi-award winning creative agency from Philadelphia specializing in game development.

    Pulse: Volume One is an iPad app to cherish-and to keep on hand if the kids are bored in the back seat. It's so fun that the Angry Birds guys must be jealous.

    Ultimately, if you're looking for strong gameplay hooks and replayability, Pulse:Volume One won't hit those notes for you. But if you're interested in elegant rhythm gameplay and an immersive audio-visual experience, you'll find lots to enjoy.

    It's tough to judge Pulse before its universe expands-presumably with future volumes-though from what Pulse brings with Volume One, it appears to be a cohesive rhythmic experience.

    Stunning to look at and play, but viciously tough to beat, Pulse: Volume One's relative lack of content and replay incentive is the only dissonance in an otherwise perfect cadence.

    As short as it is though, Pulse is an absolute treat for the ears.

    As a rhythm game, Pulse leaves much to be desired: however, as a sensorial experience, this app is really one of a kind.

    I love Pulse: Volume One for one reason, and that's because it's unique.
