What is Space Waves?
Space Waves is a minimalist, rhythm-driven shooter set in deep space. You control a sleek, agile spacecraft as you navigate through procedurally generated levels filled with waves of obstacles, enemy fire, and visual chaos. But what makes the game special isn’t just the mechanics — it’s the soundtrack.
Each level syncs dynamically with an electronic or synthwave soundtrack. Lasers pulse to the beat. The background visuals shift with the tempo. Your movement feels almost like dancing — if dancing meant surviving a bullet hell in zero gravity.

My Experience
I’ve been playing Space Waves on and off for the past few weeks, and honestly, it’s become my go-to game when I want a quick burst of adrenaline. Whether I’m trying to beat my own high score or just zoning out to the pulse of the music, it’s the kind of game that keeps pulling you back in.
Also worth noting: the devs are super active on the SKTorrent community, open to feedback, and genuinely passionate about building something different. Always a plus in my book.
Space Waves might look simple on the surface, but there’s real depth here. If you're a fan of games like Geometry Wars, Thumper, or even Audiosurf, this one's definitely worth checking out. It's indie, it's fresh, and it belongs in your library.
