You take charge of a tiny spaceship in the game Space Waves as it travels down obstacle-filled, neon-colored tracks. The distinctive aspect of Space Waves is that the music's beat directs everything you do. Every level seems like a musical journey through a brilliant galaxy, and every rhythm affects how you move. The entire experience is visually spectacular, with futuristic designs and bright lights filling the background. Together with upbeat music, the game captures your attention and maintains it from the first moment.
Although the gameplay is easy to grasp, it is challenging to perfect. You can alter your spaceship's direction with a single touch or keystroke. Staying in time with the beat and avoiding obstacles are your primary goals. The speed seems reasonable at first, but as you go along, it quickens and the patterns get more erratic. This makes for an exciting challenge that puts your reflexes and focus to the test. You have to start over after every error, but that only encourages you to try again and get better at timing.
