How does Wave Dash work?

Wave Dash becomes easier to read when its main systems are separated. These five details have the biggest effect on a normal run.

The wave moves continuously forward.

Use it as a cue for the next action, not as background decoration. A useful response is to use tiny taps in narrow corridors. Give that choice one clean attempt before changing the plan.

Holding reverses vertical direction into a rise.

This is the first thing worth noticing because it shapes the rest of the run. A useful response is to focus on the center of the next gap. Give that choice one clean attempt before changing the plan.

Narrow gaps demand short pulses.

Once you recognize it, the next move becomes much easier to judge. A useful response is to release before the wave reaches the top edge. Give that choice one clean attempt before changing the plan.

Visual rhythm helps anticipate obstacle spacing.

It rewards timing and observation more than frantic input. A useful response is to practice difficult patterns at a consistent visual rhythm. Give that choice one clean attempt before changing the plan.

A collision restarts the current run or checkpoint.

That trade-off is where many close rounds are decided. A useful response is to rest your hand between repeated attempts. Give that choice one clean attempt before changing the plan.
