About
An arcade game where you tap to switch between wave and particle states to navigate through walls. Bank your score multiplier before an observer collapses your state, or face a forced mode flip. Experience new color palettes and rising tension with each level.
What's New in Waveform
1.0.2
October 29, 2026
The Observer is now fairer and easier to read, plus a fresh new look. • Countdown inside your character: when a mode change is 5 seconds away, a 5-4-3-2-1 countdown appears right inside the character with a glowing ring and a haptic tick every second. No more guessing when the Observer will strike. • Fairer Observer: the forced flip now waits for a safe moment, gives you a short grace period afterwards, and a new "Relaxed Observer" option in Settings makes it even gentler. • New home screen: a looping wave-and-particle animation, a quick sound toggle, and a menu for How to Play, Game Center and Settings. • Cinematic start: tapping PLAY now bursts into the game. • Faster, friendlier tutorial. • Redesigned Game Over screen with your score front and center. • Confetti, haptics and a celebration jingle when you set a new record. • Background music, with separate Music and Sound FX switches in the pause menu and Settings. • Smoother mode-switch color transition. • Apple Watch: new home screen, in-character countdown, new Game Over screen with confetti, bigger multiplier, bank with the Digital Crown or a double tap, and a gentler Observer. • A short Himmelberg splash when the app opens.

FAQ
What is Waveform's core gameplay mechanic?
