Space waves is a space-themed arcade game that does not depend on a complicated tale to draw in players. Its charm is in navigating a spaceship throughout various landscapes where a simple journey might become a difficult if one loses concentration. From the beginning the game environment is like a never ending tunnel of movement with geometric shapes, tight spaces and obstacles one after the other. There’s little time to take in the landscape as players have to concentrate on their trajectory and what lies ahead. This produces an instantaneous, tactile experience that gets players right into the rhythm of the level. The spaceship doesn’t just go from point A to point B; it moves via a continually altering stream of energy. Each change of direction might create a new situation, particularly when the spaces between barriers get smaller. Soon players learn that looking at their craft is not enough, they must look ahead to see where they are headed. This is where the game separates the casual player from the calculated player: rookies tend to only respond when a barrier is immediately in their way, while veterans strive to foresee the course of flight in advance to prepare themselves for impending maneuvers. This change of viewpoint makes the encounter more and more compelling. Therefore, the space waves setting is more than a mere background; it is an intrinsic aspect of the problem itself. The curves, gaps, barriers and buildings en route challenge players to make continuous, split-second judgments. The farther players travel, the more the sensation of discovery turns into a will to conquer. The urge to merely explore what lies ahead turns into the ambition to see just how far one can go. The relationship between space and the speed of play builds a trip of a different pace, where each reset is a new voyage across a region of the galaxy not yet conquered.
