## What is BEATWAVE?

One more song. This time, keep the combo.

Pick a spinning CD, tap to the beat and hold every long note. BEATWAVE brings 71 original tracks by James K to a rhythm game you can make your own.

KEEP THE COMBO GOING
Clear a song and carry your combo count into the next. Your multiplier starts again at ×1, and a MISS resets the combo to zero. Hold notes build combo every 0.2 seconds while you keep them pressed. Chase a new personal best, one beat at a time.

ONE STAGE, ONE LEADERBOARD
Maximum combo, cumulative score and the weekly tournament are shared across platforms. Play the featured track under the same conditions. The tournament closes every Wednesday at 00:00 Korea time; all players tied for first receive five play tickets in their mailbox.

BUILD YOUR ALBUM
Collect stars to unlock more music, complete full-combo CDs and keep your favorites close. Listen to cleared songs in your album and share your performance with a record card.

FIND YOUR LEVEL
Start with free 4-key play. Choose your difficulty and note scroll speed. The complete Iron Bloom and BEATWAVE recordings are included in standard play without a monthly pass. Other tracks offer short highlights; the optional monthly pass unlocks full-song play, all songs, 5–8 keys, and Extreme and Crazy difficulties. Customize your stage with note designs and backgrounds.

Basic tickets recharge over time. Optional rewarded ads can provide extra tickets where available. Basic play does not require an account. Account connection is used for online rankings and cloud features. Records from different login accounts are not automatically merged.

Some features and items require purchase. The monthly pass renews automatically at the price shown in the purchase sheet; cancel in your Apple account settings. Highlight audio and the main song are bundled with the app. Other full-song audio downloads on demand and requires internet and storage.

Put on your earphones. Your next beat is waiting.
