Minimal Wave is a timing-based experience focused on precision and rhythm. A single moving dot travels along a horizontal track, while a highlighted cyan band marks the valid timing window. The main task is to activate the lock only when the dot is fully inside this band.
The gameplay is divided into two stages. In the first stage, there is limited time to register six successful locks. Each correct input increases the score. In the second stage, the band becomes narrower and the movement speed increases, making timing more demanding. Completing five successful locks finishes the run.
A short cooldown between inputs helps prevent accidental taps and keeps the flow consistent. If the timer reaches zero before completing a stage, the session can be restarted or exited.
After completing both stages, the total score is calculated and can appear in the local top results list. The design focuses on clarity, smooth motion, and short play sessions.
