Raw Fury began distributing a new demo of Appulse on Steam on July 17. Developed by Le Rado, the game combines pinball mechanics with all-directional shooting and roguelite progression. Players launch a ship onto a spaceship pinball table, bounce off surfaces, and fire beams that alter trajectory. Enemies appear, and completing missions earns roguelite-style upgrades. Permanent upgrades can be purchased with points. The full version is due in 2026 on PC. The demo includes Japanese language support.
Launching a ship onto a spaceship pinball table, players fire beams that recoil and alter the ship's trajectory, forcing them to account for physics as they aim for high scores. The table includes gimmicks that can be used for point scoring, and enemy attacks require either direct hits or beam fire. Roguelite elements appear as three-choice upgrades earned by completing missions, and permanent upgrades can be bought with accumulated points. Raw Fury is publishing the title, developed by Le Rado. The demo is available now on Steam, and the full game is expected to release in 2026.
