   Does everything perfect from a developer perspective. Funny, Fun, and Intense. Achievements are a wonderful icing on the cake. Clearly this game is not a result of not enough play testing, every mechanic is pushed to it's near theoretical limit. The bad guys do spawn a bit too close, especially for a top down shooter emphasizing on not getting hit. It's a bit counter-teaching from a developer standpoint. My only real beef is with soundtrack. The songs vary in tempo from very slow to very fast, randomly picked, and too short. If the developer threw together a contest at OCRemix, I'm sure those guys would be delighted and honored to throw together some additions to the soundtrack. It'd be good marketing too. Still deserves a perfect score. Graphics and gameplay are bar none.… Expand

   I hardly can believe that such a simple game can give SO MUCH fun! I downloaded demo because the screenshots just looked interesting. I played a few times and... woooow... :D Can't stop trying to invent some new tactics of yielding better and better hi-scores ;p BTW, I think that brilliant music is sth like 49% of the fun ;) BTW2, my girlfriend and brother say, that just looking as someone other plays is also great (they want me to play so they can watch ;p).… Expand

   Waves is an awesome indie game. While its concept is quite old, resembling to Asteroids, from the arcade’s era, it has a very modern approach and design. The whole game is based on you, a blue ball, killing other colored balls to survive and score. It’s really simple, and that’s what makes it so great. It doesn’t insert complicated gameplay to make it fun; it doesn’t have to. The entire game is visually pleasant. The stage, the only one, is futuristic and when you move, you create waves. The sound is an electronic beat, fitting in perfectly with the whole futuristic set. There are five different game modes, Crunch Time, in which you have 2 minutes to get the greatest score you can; Survival, where you get 3 lives and must stay alive the longest you can; Rush, which is a race against time; Bombing Run, the one I liked the most, you need to pick up the bombs and trigger an explosion; and Challenge, which is a 20 stages mode. That’s enough to keep you playing for a long time. At first it may seem pretty easy, but once you level up and lots of enemies start spawning, following you around, you’ll have a hard time staying alive. Once you get the hang of your slow-motion power and your combo bombs, you’re ready to fully enjoy the game. There is nothing I didn’t like about this game. I do miss, however, some kind of online competition, like a global leaderboard. Also, I think it could have different scenarios and a wider variety of enemies. These, however, are mere details that don’t weight much, but would probably help make it even more fun. I had a lot of fun while playing Waves, and I would certainly recommend it to whoever asked for my opinion about this game.… Expand
