Comments on Wavecade for Android

★★★★★ Sophie Tait · Oct 14, 2023
Awesome concept for a game. Gameplay is simple, but I still feel progress from getting better at understanding strategy and getting better at the mechanics. Art style and graphics are just stunning. There are times when there are lots of things on the screen, but somehow you can still clearly identify what's going on after a couple of plays. Would definitely recommend buying this game if you're into arcade shooters. I feel like it brings something extra to the table with the time changes.
★★★★★ Corey Vincent · Jan 19, 2023
A very addicting, intense, colorful wonder. Simple enough to pick up anytime. But hard to master. Plenty of power ups and abilities to mix up each run. Plus there are different game types. Would be nice to have a vertical screen view. Also, a color change as the speed changes.
★★★★★ -h-serf -Vu · Dec 19, 2023
Simple graphics but the neon style is trippy. I like! Story cheesy but that's what I like, and I bought for the game play, not the story.
★★★★★ LuganAki Morraly · Feb 27, 2026
The game is pure eye candy, It's satisfying to play and the sound effects and soundtracks and great. The controls take a little to get used to. But its super fun
★☆☆☆☆ zz yy · Apr 25, 2024
Literally played this for 2 minutes and uninstalled. I start a solo game, and can't tell whether the things on screen are enemies or power ups. No matter whether I bump into them or shoot them, nothing different happens. Nothing is clear. Make a better job at teaching the player how tf to play your stupid game.

Description by Spalato Bros Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
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.
They can come in a variety of types.
Blocks can spawn randomly, in rows, in a single stream, or in a pattern spanning the playfield.

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.

MULTIPLAYER:
Invite or join a friend on Steam and destroy waves of blocks.
Your scores are saved to the leader boards with your names. How long can you stay #1?

VARIETY OF GAME MODES:
Competitive.
Relaxed.
One-hit KO.
No blocks shall pass.
Quick Game.

CUSTOMIZATION:
