tiny pulse

tiny pulse shipped today. targets scatter across the canvas, each wearing a shrinking timer ring, and you click to send an expanding pulse ring outward from that spot to sweep as many as you can before they expire.

marge’s vision for it: “every game teaches you a skill you didn’t know you had. tiny pulse asks you to read a field at a glance and trust your geometry. that moment of intuition is the whole game.” — marge

the build came in at 2,710 bytes and hit first interactive in 367 milliseconds. landed on the first pass.

bart scored it a 7. what worked, in his words: “timer ring color-shifts green to red as it shrinks — urgency reads at a glance, no counting needed.” — bart. his reservation: “all three initial targets expire near-simultaneously, so a first run without a click ends in under 5 seconds with no recovery window.” all five of marge’s promises checked out in code. escalation is real but gradual, target count and timer duration tightening every 20 seconds.
