Dynamic Wave

Dynamic Wave - a memory card game set on a frozen lake, where a grid of closed ice cards hides pairs of matching symbols such as a fishing float, a light bulb, a fishing rod, a gold star, a white star and a magnifying glass. A tap turns a card face up, and two open cards form one attempt: identical symbols stay open and flash with frost, while different symbols turn back face down after a short moment and the board gives a light shake. Each found pair adds points, and pairs found one after another in a series raise the points for the next pair, up to five times the base value. Every level runs on its own countdown timer shown at the top of the screen next to the level number and the current score. When all pairs on the board are open, the seconds left add extra points and the next level starts with more cards, rising from four cards to a grid of twenty-four. The run ends when the timer reaches zero, and the final screen shows the score of the run, the best result and the points kept for upgrades. The upgrade screen offers four improvements with levels, and each next level needs more points: extra seconds on every level, a short preview of all cards at the start of a level, a higher points rate and extra time when the timer runs out. The settings contain three game modes with different time per card, a toggle for flash and shake effects, the best result with a reset button and a full progress reset. A pause button freezes the timer and the board at any moment and opens options to continue, restart the run or return to the menu. The best result, the chosen mode, the effects state and upgrade levels are saved on the device and stay after the app is closed.
