Counterwave

New in 2.1: share your grid, challenge a friend to beat your score, and climb the Game Center leaderboards. Every wave has an exact opposite. Find it.

Match the wave. Cancel it. Hear the silence.

Counterwave is a satisfying reflex and timing game built on how noise-cancelling headphones work: every wave has an exact opposite. Shape it with one thumb, let go, and watch two waves cancel into a perfectly flat line.

Learn it in seconds. Master it across 100 levels.

HOW IT PLAYS • A wave rolls in. Read its shape on the scope under the field. • Drag up for a crest, down for a trough, further for a taller wave. • When the height matches, wait for the release cue and let go. • Meet it in the middle for a PERFECT. Push the same way and the waves stack instead.

PLAY WITH FRIENDS Share any Daily, cleared level or new Endless best as a grid of how every wave landed. Send a friend a challenge code: they play the same waves and try to beat your score. Climb the Game Center leaderboards for today's Daily, Endless and campaign stars.

CHAIN PERFECTS, PLAY A MELODY Every clean cancel drops the field into a moment of silence and rings out a note. String perfects together and the notes climb, while a calm generative soundtrack plays underneath.

100 LEVELS, 20 RANKS, 40 EXPERT TESTS Act I teaches the wave across 40 hand-built levels. Act II adds 60 more and four new shapes: the Fin, the Flip, the Triple and the flat-crowned Plateau. Every fifth level is a rank exam, and the Expert circuit remixes Act I into 40 tests harder than anything beside them.

SEE YOUR SKILL GROW Every level shows its Intensity, so you always know what you are taking on. Your Signal Rating climbs from Novice toward Master as you earn three stars on harder levels.

PRACTICE ANYTHING Replay the tricky phrase from any results screen, or play nine short wave studies and earn an emblem for each shape. Practice never costs a thing and never touches your stars.

A NEW CHALLENGE EVERY DAY One daily puzzle, the same for every player: one official run, unlimited practice and daily missions. A gift waits each time you visit and keeps its progress if you miss a day, and a weekly goal leaves room for days off.

ENDLESS AND ZEN Endless speeds up until you slip. Zen never fails you: one wave at a time, as relaxing as you like.

EIGHT SIGNAL THEMES Oscilloscope, Aurora, Seismic, Ion, Ember, Synthwave, Lagoon and Sakura. Try any theme before you unlock it. Every palette is tuned to stay readable with red-green color blindness.

MADE TO BE FELT Precise haptics on every launch and every cancel. Every sound is synthesized live on your phone.

PLAY ANYWHERE One-handed, no account, and no Wi-Fi needed to play. Your progress stays on your phone.

Counterwave is supported by ads. Ads never interrupt a run, and your first six runs have none at all. Remove Ads is a one-time purchase; the Supporter Pack adds every theme, and if you already own Remove Ads you only pay the difference. Optional videos are always your choice.
