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 grows your score multiplier from ×1 up to ×5. Swipe down to bank it. Wait too long and the Observer collapses your state: when a 5-4-3-2-1 countdown inside your character reaches zero, 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 • A fair Observer: clear countdown, safe-moment flips and an optional Relaxed mode • 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, background music and reactive sound, each with its own switch • 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?
