## ABOUT THE GAME

**Pulsar Runner** is a fast-paced arcade-style runner where you're in a race against time on a single endless path filled with obstacles, speed boosts, and strategic checkpoints.

Your mission is simple: **survive as long as you can** while dodging traps, collecting apples to boost your speed, and hitting checkpoints that give you precious extra seconds. But don’t relax — once the timer hits zero, it’s Game Over.

Think fast. Move faster. And keep that timer from running out.
