* The new arrow-like form, known as the Wave, was inspired by the mechanics of the mobile game ''Wave Wave''. It is supposed the concept was brought to light by a popular player, Darnoc, who created a level (also named ''Wave Wave''), mimicking its mechanics using condensed groups of gravity rings with the UFO.
