What's New in Counterwave
2.1
October 13, 2026
Counterwave 2.1 is about playing with friends, and reading every wave clearly. • Share your result: every Daily, cleared level and new Endless best can be shared as a grid of how each wave landed. • Challenge a friend: share a run as a code. Your friend plays the same waves and tries to beat your score. • Game Center leaderboards for today's Daily, Endless and campaign stars. • Easier to read: early levels give you more time between waves, and a separate "release now" cue shows timing on its own, apart from height. • Kinder early campaign: one wrong-way answer no longer ends a run at full energy. Enjoying Counterwave? A quick rating helps other players find it. • 10 Game Center achievements, from your first silenced wave to a 30-day daily streak. Progress you already made counts on your next run.
