About this game

Antinode is a synthwave puzzle built on the physics of waves. You never move and you never aim — your only power is phase, the beat on which each stationary emitter pulses.

Tune the timing of every emitter so their expanding ring-wavefronts collide exactly where you need them. Stack two crests together to light a bright antinode, flip a wave out of phase to cancel another into a silent node, and above all keep the deadly hazard cells dark.

A guided tutorial teaches the core idea — distance is delay, so the farther emitter must fire earlier — before turning you loose on a 50-level campaign and an endless mode, with hints and an AI solver on hand when a pattern won't crack.

How to play

  1. Each emitter fires on a numbered beat in a looping bar — that beat is all you control.
  2. Tap an emitter to select it, then use − / + to shift when it pulses (or invert it to flip its phase).
  3. Make two crests arrive together on a target to light a bright antinode.
  4. Invert a wave so a crest meets a trough and cancel it into a silent node.
  5. Never let a hazard cell light up. Use Pause / Step to study the waves, or Hint / AI Solve if stuck.
