  • 2026-02-27 - Easier Note Dragging - 27 February 2026

    Improve feedback when dragging Notes by showing a "move" icon when the cursor is over the note, which lights up when the cursor is over the dragable area (credit: Deej009) Temporarily disable running on SteamDeck (hopefully no one is playing on SteamDeck anyway, as the experience would be terrible...)

  • Now supporting MS-DOS (Command-Line Interface release) - 23 September 2025

    QuantumPulse 2A now includes a command-line interface for playing puzzles and running programs, running on MS-DOS 3.30 or newer (including Windows, Linux, and MacOS). To use the command-line interface, run please see README.TXT to get started. You can use the command-line interface for editor integrations, automated testing, or retro-computing just for the fun of it! I had a lot of fun porting the CLI to DOS, and have detailed the journey on my blog. Please check it out if you find that kind of thing interesting =). Full patch notes: Add command-line interface QP2ACLI.EXE that runs on MS-DOS and modern Windows Add command-line interface CLI/QP2A.JS that can be run via Node.js or jSH on any operating system Add README.TXT detailing the CLI, and MANUAL.TXT, an ASCII-text only version of the manual for use in your favorite terminal-based operating systems If you’ve spent some time with Qua…

  • 2025-09-08 - Bugfix - 8 September 2025

    Fix puzzle #26 (Mastermind) guess validator returning the incorrect value in some cases - if guessing a right number in the wrong place, and that number was present in all 2 other locations, it would erroneously result in a count of 2 "right number in the wrong place" in the return. E.g. if the secret is "2 3 3" a guess of "3 1 1" was returning "0 2" but should return "0 1", which is what it does now. (bug credit: MannyKlystron)

  • QuantumPulse 2A now available! - 25 August 2025

    We're excited to announce that the full version of QuantumPulse 2A is now available here on Steam! A special shout-out and thanks to our beta testers, without whom the game would not be what it is today. If you want some tough competition, want to discuss puzzle solutions, or have some feedback to share, please join our Discord, or post on the Steam community discussions.For those of you who played the Demo, as long as it's still installed and Steam Cloud has synced your saves locally, the first time you launch the full version it'll prompt you to automatically migrate your solutions if you wish (some people may prefer to re-do the "easy" puzzles to get back into the flow of things though =). And, don't worry, if you don't do the automatic migration, you can always easily copy solutions between versions by clicking the "Open Save Folder" button in the options screen and copying files ar…

About this game

Solve programming puzzles on a fictional computer with radio-based communication and unique limitations. Competitively optimize to compete on leaderboards against friends and the global community. Note: Though featuring programming and set in a time when quantum physics was the hip new thing, nothing related to modern "quantum computing" is included in this game. From your friends at QuantumPulse Ltd we are excited to introduce the brand new QuantumPulse 2A Professional Computer and Visualization Interface: The most powerful device releasing in '77! With its novel on-chip radios, hi-tech BBS interface, and exclusive hardware addons, the QP-2A is sure to win your heart and mind. Compete against your friends in programming challenges to earn GOLD STARS! And ACT FAST: The first to complete the certification course will receive a complimentary unopened pack of traditional Kostovian playing cards. Disclaimers: All of the above statements are classified as Marketing-Truth as per the Truth in Marketing Act of 1973. Friends need not be real. Stars contain no real gold. Manual may have been damaged, lost, or censored during international shipping. Gameplay primarily involves programming in an assembly language (with a tutorial, no assembly language experience required, though coding experience is helpful) 25+ programming puzzles - many are easy to solve, difficult to optimize See how your solutions stack up against your friends' or globally on the leaderboards for each of run-time , lines of code , and cost of components Solving puzzles unlocks new puzzles and 7 different chips to use in only future puzzles - when you first open a puzzle, you will always have all of the same tools available as anyone else you see on the leaderboard Make use of a unique fictional computing device where all communication is done by broadcasting to radio channels , and all conditional operators test values broadcast from other chips No quantum computing involved, the unique limitations come from parallelism and synchronization challenges Integrated debugger (with time rewinding ), syntax checking , and quick language reference Full reference manual Solitaire minigame, like all goo…

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 24, 2026 to Sep 24, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $11.99
  • Highest observed: $11.99

QuantumPulse 2A's USD price history spans from Sep 24, 2026 to Sep 24, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $11.99, the highest is $11.99, and the first visible tracked price is $11.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

QuantumPulse 2A's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $11.99, from Sep 24, 2026 through Sep 24, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $11.99. The latest run records $11.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $11.99
  • Current list price: $11.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records QuantumPulse 2A at $11.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
