The game uses side-scrolling platform action. Players run, jump, attack, and make use of Pulseman's electrical form to traverse certain walls, passages, and electronic structures. Stages feature moving platforms, traps, enemy patterns, and boss battles, with progress advancing linearly from one area to the next after each completed stage.

Pulseman

The protagonist who can switch between human and electricity forms, using speed and close-range attacks.

Dr. Waruyama

The main antagonist, a scientist bent on exploiting the power of electronics and the human world.

Learn when to enter and exit electrical form, since it is useful both for crossing dangerous terrain and escaping pressure. Against enemy clusters, watch movement and projectile patterns instead of rushing straight in. In boss fights, take advantage of brief invincibility and safe attack windows to deal damage after enemy actions.

Tips

Look for hidden routes and speed sections, as they can make stages much easier to clear.

Tips
