Everyone once in a great while, there’s a wonderfully original game release that proves there’s still plenty of room for unique games. In early 2012, that release was Waveform – a desktop arcade / puzzle game about manipulating a wave …
I vowed that after I left university, I would never look at another mathematical wave for as long as I lived. Those evil things full of sin(e) following me around for years afterwards, but eventually I managed to calm the nightmares down and get on with my life.
While most people going through school hated math or had a hard time with it, something about math always clicked with me. I won't say that I'm particularly gifted when it comes to numbers, but they just make sense. There's no theory or interpretation with math; everything is fixed and definitive. 1+1 will always equal 2 just the same as 3 will always be a prime number. It makes me happy to know that there's a single person out there developing a game based on a mathematical concept. It finds you manipulating light in outer space, and it's called Waveform.
