Blindwave
Read full descriptionHide full description
The dark is total. You guide a blind creature that sees only through echolocation: every pulse lights the walls for a heartbeat, then fades. All you keep is memory. Pulses are scarce. Blindwave is not a game of reflexes — it is a game of information. Spend a pulse and you see. Move blind and you save one. That single choice is the whole game. TWO WAYS TO SEE ◇ Short pulse — quiet, narrow, cheap ◇ Wide pulse — reveals everything, costs double, and is heard Something down there is listening. WHAT YOU WILL FIND ◇ 50 hand-built levels across 8 worlds ◇ Materials that rewrite the rules: walls that swallow the echo, amber that amplifies it, quicksilver that bends it around corners, glass you can see through but never cross ◇ Gates with their own rhythm, embers that must be lit, shadows that wake only when you shout ◇ A fog that hunts you, a glimmer that leads you, a shoal to herd home — and memories hidden off the path that tell the creature's story ◇ Every world opens and closes with its own scene, where its material answers your echo ◇ A daily challenge — the same level for everyone, every day. Build a streak, share your result ◇ Zen Wave: no enemies, nothing to count ◇ Endless Echo: descend until the echo gives out MADE FOR ONE HAND, IN THE DARK ◇ Portrait, one thumb, no buttons — tap, hold, swipe ◇ Text follows the size you choose on your iPhone ◇ Spatial audio and haptics carry the information: fully playable with the screen dimmed ◇ Works entirely offline. No account, no network, nothing to sign up for HONEST BY DESIGN Free to try: the first world and the daily challenge, forever. One payment unlocks everything else. ◇ No ads. No subscriptions. No energy timers. No loot boxes.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Blindwave at none against Corebound's shown. Corebound's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
