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.

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.

Waveform's core mechanic involves tapping the screen to switch between acting as a 'wave' or a 'particle' to pass through different types of walls. This simple control scheme is easy to learn but offers a challenging experience as the game progresses.
Passing walls increases your score multiplier, which can reach up to ×5. You can 'bank' this multiplier by swiping down, but waiting too long will cause the 'Observer' to collapse your state, forcing a mode flip and potentially losing your accumulated multiplier.
