About

Waveform

Features
Read full description

Waveform is a one-thumb arcade game inspired by quantum physics. Are you a wave or a particle? It depends on the wall. HOW IT WORKS? • Wavy wall? Pass it as a WAVE • Flat wall? Pass it as a PARTICLE • Tap anywhere to switch. That's the only control BANK BEFORE YOU'RE OBSERVED Every wall you pass fills the Observer's eye, and your score multiplier grows from Ɨ1 up to Ɨ5. Swipe down to bank it. Wait too long and the Observer collapses your state: your mode flips by force. Greed pays, until it doesn't. A NEW REALITY EVERY 25 POINTS The world changes color as you climb. Fourteen hand-picked palettes appear in a different order every run, from sunny yellow to deep vacuum black. FEATURES • Pure one-thumb gameplay, easy to learn, hard to master • Rising difficulty with surprise double walls • Climb the worldwide Game Center leaderboard and unlock achievements • Fully playable on Apple Watch, no phone needed • Optimized for iPhone and iPad, in full screen • Haptics and a reactive soundtrack that rises with the Observer's tension • Remove ads with a single, one-time purchase (also gives you a free continue each run) Short runs, instant restarts, one more try. Can you bank it before you are observed?
