About Waves

Waves is an indie action title developed and published by Squid In A Box Ltd that arrived on November 16, 2011. This single-player experience functions as a twin-stick shooter where players aim to achieve high scores across seven different game modes. The gameplay focuses on building combos and dropping bombs to maintain dominance over the online leaderboards. The setting places the player in a Neo-Cyberspace arena overrun by bugs, errors, and viruses that must be eliminated before they cause damage. Success depends on killing every rogue process quickly while racking up a large combo through swift kills and well-timed bomb usage. If the action becomes overwhelming, players can activate a Time Buffer to slow down the scene and turn potential defeat into victory. The main story lasts for one hour, though including extras extends the playtime to five hours. A completionist approach requires approximately 26 hours to finish all available content. The game offers online high-score tables and achievements for those pursuing twin-stick perfection.Read more
