Wavecade

On my device iPhone 15 pro max, when starting the game it just says press space to enter. I can’t enter becuase I don’t have a keyboard

Every review you look at is from over a year ago, where the game was $2 and in a very underdeveloped state. Here is my take on the most recent version of the game as of writing this review, which is almost an entirely different game than what it used to be. If you are confused as to what the game is, read this review, but if you are just quickly looking for my opinion, yes, I HIGHLY recommend this. GAMEPLAY First of all, this game is an arcade shooter, but with a more modern twist. The goal of the game is to destroy blocks, enemies, and bosses in waves and increase your score. There are plenty of game modes to try, each with different challenges or changes. The interesting twists to the gameplay is that as you move up and down, the speed of the game slows down or speeds up, like the game superhot. The second biggest aspect is the powerups, which are extremely powerful modifiers to your ship (also could be a crab) that are designed to release dopamine inside your brain. You can stack powerups, and they are all useful. And to wrap up this gameplay summary, the soundtrack is phenomenal, you must play this game with sound. MULTIPLAYER This game has multiplayer, and it is cross platform, too. You can either play on a local network, or create an online lobby to play with others (but as of writing this review, the player base is extremely small). I have played with my friends on an online network, because we couldn’t figure out how to use the local one, and it worked very well and it was a blast. This game is both designed for solo and co-op, something other games do a hard job of. PROBLEMS The game is free now, so there are ads and micro transactions. When you lose all your lives (in certain game modes), the game offers you an extra life for an ad, which is a very scummy thing to do, but I don’t blame the devs, after you play a game, you are forced to watch a short ad. Overall, the ads aren’t spammy and ti keep it free, it is the best solution. To remove ads, you have to make any purchase. As of writing this review, you can only buy the purple gem things. They are used to purchase skins and textures to customize your ship, but you can gain these gems just by playing normally, so you aren’t locked by a paywall. I don’t know what the blue coin things are. PLAY THIS GAME IF YOU ARE EVEN CONSIDERING IT

I cannot play this on my iPad Pro 5th gen, my M3 Max MacBook Pro or my iPhone 15 Pro. It crashes every single time. Sometimes it plays for five minutes sometimes it crashes immediately. I’ve closed all other apps, restarted, uninstalled and reinstalled, and tried to make it work, but it just fails. Do not recommend.

If you like arcade shooters then Wavecade is for you!

Enjoyed this game at first but updates have made it more buggy and crash prone. And also upset that a bunch of IAPs were added to a premium game. Also, can you please add actual relative touch? This means you move the ship relative to your finger’s position — not that it’s always under your finger. There are many other shmups on the App Store that do this correctly. (Like the Phoenix games for example)

This game could not run without being logged into game center for some reason, and every time I was able to get to a playable moment a large command code pop up box appeared on the left of the screen I could not remove. Loss of $.

Wish I knew what was going on. LOVE this game, but the Title Screen comes up and then the app closes within a few seconds. Sigh.

Has been crashing on iPhone 12 mini for the last couple updates. Please fix.

The latest update doesn’t allow me to get past the first screen; it immediately crashes. This is at least a four-star game so I’ll adjust the rating once fixed.

I really enjoy this game. It has a great layout, simple. The fast/ slow movement gameplay makes for amazing control. The colors and music add to the experience - awesome! Why 2 stars? THE APP KEEPS RANDOMLY CRASHING IN THE MIDDLE OF GAMEPLAY. I’ll be up to 3 million, doing great and the app crashes….what the what!?
