Very unique!
Very unique. Unlike any shmup I’ve played. Congrats!!
I don’t like the Ads but I understand the strategy for mobile.
I see the game is on Steam with a demo and full version to purchase at a reasonable price. I suppose I’ll purchase on Steam instead if I like it enough. I am just one person but I’d prefer not to have ads 80-dollar “jewel” packs or whatever.
Amazing work on the game design!!
Cheers!

‘Press Space to continue’
Errm, ok?!
Such promise
Very unique. Unlike any shmup I’ve played. Congrats!!
Bug: when I got to the Zomero boss by skip disappeared! He just fires at nothing and I can’t lose a ship or progress!
Quirk: Zomero’s dialog doesn’t progress after he speaks the next line, near the end of the “conversation” and I keep having to press “skip”
I don’t like the Ads.
Keep fixing the bugs!!

Needs work
Very confused with boss, game doesn’t tell you how to kill it, couldn’t find a single use for the blue coins, and the add spam after every game is pretty bad. Would be better if ur game didn’t have to be smooshed at the top of screen, u don’t get enough time to react (yes it goes faster) but it’s very unbalanced. Oh and one other thing on hit game mode is completely impossible.

Nice game
I downloaded the game. its a very good game
Buggy
Keeps telling me to press SPACE to continue, but I’m on iPhone.. any chance we can fix this? Literally can’t play it.
Unable to play the game
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
Stunning
Thanks for fixing gamepad issue ❤️
This game should be rated higher
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

Must Play — @HE3AKOHHO
Awesome game! The soundtrack, visuals, achievements and game modes are very cool. But I played on iPhone 11 Pro and the game didn't seem optimized for my phone because the game crashes after 5-10 minutes. I hope this will be fixed in the future. Thanks! Really enjoying the game.

One major problem…
This seems like a really fun game but I tried to play it with a ps4 and Xbox controller but I was unable to move left and right. If you could fix this then I would be happy to update my review
Crashes on all devices
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.

I like the game but right now you can’t play it
I think you accidentally ported the pc version to mobile. It shows the text „Press [ _ ] to join…“ and you can’t do anything on mobile. I think adding some sort of portal or warp stops ability would be cool. Wait nvm the bug. I see the controls to gamepad. Maybe you should make the button always visible or something. I found it tho.

Please try the latest version v1.7.2!
Absolute awesome retro shoot em up mix
There is one issue for me ..
when you score a combo or any +1500 in Addition...the displaying of that number (..+2000)...is overshown and it blurs the action your ship is going through...
Please could you find another way of DISPLAYING these +numbers of won xp's..
The effects are nice but this issue really weakens the feel of this game..thanks for noticing..then you'll get 5 stars for sure

Excellent Shmup, responsive devs
Fun shmup that I discovered at PAX AUS 2023. Small indie devs that have captured the fun side of blasting everything in site. Responsive to questions and quirks on their discord and regular updates makes this an easy ★★★★★ for me.
Amazing arcade shooter
If you like arcade shooters then Wavecade is for you!
Spiel mit Potential
Gutes Spiel mit coolen Fähigkeiten. Leider stürzt das Spiel in allen Situationen ab, sodass es nicht möglich ist hochzulvln, das Schiff zu optimieren, oder generell einfach das Spiel zu genießen.
In seltenen Fällen aktiviert man eine Fähigkeit und es passiert nichts.
Es ist zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt unspielbar und ich hätte mir gewünscht dass es zu Beginn wenigstens kostenlos wäre!

Disappointing
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)

Doesn’t seem to work right, it’s not quite ready.
If I could get my money back I would, but you can’t.
Nearly trash
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 $.
