Wavey The Rocket Reviews

My god. Game of the Week of 05/09/15! Congratulations You win Peter Jackson's King Kong the game the movie the game fort the 360. On a nice wood/golden plaque. Great game, super original, like the music, but most importantly, ogame of the week

Wavey the Rocket is giving me serious flashbacks to Trials & Super Meat Boy... There's nothing like crashing into the same wall 50 times in a row to give you a real sense of achievement when you finally get past it and crash into the next one. If you like the fast reloading, side scrolling platformer then this will be right up your alley. You control Wavey on his treacherous quest to get some soda, a task many of us can relate too. Controlling the speed and pitch of the wave, you would think seeing where you are going would make the game easy but it really doesn't. It does however make it easy to get a hang of but extremely difficult to master as you try to avoid walls, floors, arms, mines and whatever else they can throw at you. In all seriousness though, this is a good fun game from an indie team that you can sink some real hours into... and considering were all stuck in our houses right now, it couldn't have come at a better time.

Excellent indie sidescroller with a unique and interesting way to control the character, which you do indirectly by manipulating the size and frequency of the wave it moves along. Watch out though, the videos make it look much easier than it is! Quite a steep learning curve but it's oh so satisfying once you start getting the hang of it. Definitely one of those games where you can get addicted to trying to beat peoples' scores on the leaderboard! Reminds me of the frustration/satisfaction I get from trying to move up in rank with games like N++ and Crimsonland. The visuals and music are very retro and funkadelic while obviously looking and sounding a lot better than any game people could've made back then. Pretty decent price for what it is and at the time of writing they've further discounted the game to celebrate its release. Definitely worth a try!

If you've played much Tetris. There is a point where your skill level and muscle memory put you 'in the zone' and the fast pace makes for some exciting wins. This game has a great likeness to what I describe above. Once you get the controls down this game is a blast. Also I really like the music so far. Definately a great party game, levels are short and challenging.

Was excited to try this out when I first encountered it. Moving along a sine wave was a really fascinating concept to me for a sidescroller. It works well, it takes getting used to and is rather difficult but it's balanced well in that you don't have to get all the collectables in a level to progress in the game. So there's a nice adjustment in each level to account for different levels of players. What was interesting to me was how the sine wave acts as a visual for the player's future actions. It's interesting to me because I was looking more at the wave than the actual character so it asks interesting questions about who we are in the game.

The control scheme is exactly as wacky as it looks and I love it. At the beginning it's funny to figure out how to even to begin to control Wavey, and then when it starts to click the maneuvers start to get really satisfying. Also, I was surprised to see this game isn't just a one-note control gimmick but has carefully designed stages with perfect pacing to teach beginners the ropes, and at the same time clearly intended for expert players to return to for score attacks. And it has chill 90s beats that give it a calming quality despite how difficult it is.

A truly one of a kind movement mechanic that I've never seen anywhere else before, this game deserves so much more attention and love.

The game brings cool graphics and a hard to get used gameplay, not in the bad way. The game is fun, catching and really challenging! I recommend everyone to give it a try!

What a unique game! Quite difficult! Awesome music! The controls are so wacky and so unlike anything I've ever played before, but game is paced pretty well to ease you in. It'll be a little bit of a struggle at first but then it becomes really satisfying navigating through the levels! The first section in Level 59 though -_- If you want a challenge, you'll definitely get one with this game!

Fantastic game mechanic with very tight controls. Great art and music too. EDIT: OK THIS GAME IS COOL. Currently halfway though the game and the levels keep getting crazy creative. At first one would think "Sure its a cool gimmick, but I'm sure you can only push this game mechanic so far" but that is NOT the case. Its a trip for sure.
