- Dev Log: The Music of Appulse - 25 August 2026
Attention recruits! We’re taking a look at the music of Appulse, the inspirations and how the music is used to enhance the atmosphere of the game. How would you describe the music of Appulse? The OST of Appulse reflects what is happening in game, it is above all electrical and very energic but also evolves to calmer tones when the pace slows down. It can be atmospheric, mysterious, dynamic, profound and aggressive. This is what makes it unique, the variety of styles and tunes you can find in it. Music really helps to enhance the atmosphere. How did you use the music to fit with the game? We really wanted to have music that follows the action on screen. In Appulse, there are periods of different pacing, like the calmer score phase and the more dangerous attack phase. The music is dynamic to follow this rhythm, evolving during each attack with more beats and more instruments which intensi…

- Dev Log: The Art of Appulse - 28 July 2026
Attention recruits! Lilian Montmartin, Art Director, talks about the art style of Appulse, the inspirations and even shares a sneak peek at how the game’s visual identity has evolved over time. Q: How would you describe the art style of Appulse? If Appulse’s art style can be described by two words, it would be simple and spectacular. It is characterised by a minimalist design, imposing forms and recognisable silhouettes, which make it very accessible. But it also explores the sense of wonder evoked by space exploration and sheer scale. Q: Why did you choose this art style for the game? We chose this art style mainly because it is efficient. We always planned a small focus production where we take advantage of every technique we can to speed up the process. Appulse's art direction prioritizes shape and silhouette to textures for this reason. We emphasize meaning with silhouettes while ga…

- Dev Log: The Story of Appulse - 7 July 2026
Attention recruits! We’ve told you what Appulse is and how it blends pinball, top-down shooter and roguelite to create a truly unique game. But we haven’t told you much about why you find yourself in space facing waves of enemies. In Appulse you play as T1-LT, a spherical combat weapon. You were invented by Elias Vektor, but more about him later. In another galaxy, within deep space, a war rages between your faction and the Iron Accord. Pinpointing the exact moment or event that caused war now would be impossible but the time for negotiation and diplomacy is over. Armies of robots patrol the empty space of the universe and invade the trespassing fleets. There is no choice but to fight to survive. Through these battles you are able to upgrade and refine your skills, bringing more damage, more speed to your side as you push back the hordes of invading bots that infiltrated your ships. Sur…
