BATTLE THE WAVES. SURVIVE THE OCEAN. Super Waves is a hardcore endless action-platformer played across an ocean that never stands still. Paddle across moving waves, time your jumps and fight off relentless sea creatures while staying ahead of the hungry shark. Collect coins and valuable items, upgrade Johnny and unleash your Super Beam when the battle becomes overwhelming. The ocean is always moving. The enemies keep coming. How long can you survive? MASTER THE MOVING WAVES The ocean is your platform. Paddle across its constantly changing surface, leap over danger and adapt your timing and attacks as the waves rise and fall beneath you. FIGHT THROUGH ENEMY WAVES Battle sea creatures with your paddle, defeat them by landing on them and use powerful Super Shots to escape dangerous situations. FIRE THE SUPER BEAM When enemies close in, unleash a powerful laser to turn the fight in your favor. Upgrade the beam’s size and duration, and increase the number of Super Shots you can carry. CLAIM MERMAID REWARDS Carolina the mermaid is there to help—but you still need the skill to reach her. Defeat sea creatures and collect coins to earn opportunities for valuable items and extra health. Carolina delivers the rewards, but retrieving them safely is up to you. COLLECT, SELL AND UPGRADE Collect coins and valuable items during each run. Sell your treasure and use your earnings to upgrade Johnny’s maximum health, strengthen the Super Beam and carry more Super Shots into battle. Every gameplay upgrade can be unlocked by playing. SMASH THROUGH BONUS ROUNDS Break open treasure and collect additional coins between enemy waves to power your next upgrades. ESCAPE THE HUNGRY SHARK Keep paddling and keep fighting. Fall too far behind and the shark will claim its next meal. CHASE YOUR HIGHEST SCORE Improve with every attempt, earn Game Center achievements and climb the leaderboards.
