Game Overview
Inspired by classic arcade shooters such as ‘Space Invaders’ and ‘Galaga’, Wavecade brings back the original nostalgia feeling to players from arcades, using sleek retro 80’s and sci-fi aesthetic.
- TIME MANIPULATION: Bend time at your will by moving up and down the screen. After each wave, the game speeds up a small amount. making the game more challenging on each new wave.
- POWERUPS: You can accumulate multiple powerups at the same time. Collecting the same powerup upgrades it and increases your time with them active.
- ABILITIES: Activate your ability when you are facing near certain destruction to turn the tables of the game. It might be the one thing that saves you from a GAME OVER.
- BLOCKS: Blocks spawn at the top of the playfield and move down the screen. Line up your shots and shoot them for points.
- HAZARDS: Hazards can appear at any time and can lose you a life if you happen to hit any of them. They can help destroy blocks if you’re agile enough, could be a blessing in disguise.
- BOSSES: Get far enough in Wavecade and you will find yourself in epic encounters with bosses. They will have an arsenal of abilities to GAME OVER you. Learn their patterns and overcome them.
- VARIETY OF GAME MODES: Start a game with standard arcade rules, or customize your own.
