You guide a beam of light on a journey through the solar system to restore light to a galaxy threatened by a Singularity. Rather than steering a character directly, you manipulate the beam’s wave.
Adjust its amplitude and wavelength with the mouse to change its path, collect orbs, and avoid hazards. Levels introduce objects and effects—including wormholes and moving obstacles—that alter how the wave moves.
Progress through more than 100 levels across 11 worlds, with challenges that build on the central wave-control system. The game also offers score-focused goals, New Game+, and randomly generated endless scenarios.
Several supplied reviews praise Waveform’s unusual wave-manipulation idea, describing it as engaging to learn and capable of supporting both relaxed play and demanding precision runs. Its soundtrack and colorful visual style also receive recurring praise. Some reviewers, however, find the controls or later challenges difficult, and a few say the central mechanic can become repetitive.
