When concentration is heightened in Space Waves

[JerryWyatt]

During the course of Space Waves, players are taken on a trip that is only focused on feeling. They are required to abandon all unnecessary ideas, leaving behind just speed, reflexes, and the rhythm of space that is always shifting. From the very beginning, the game does not provide a great deal of explanation or make any effort to teach via the use of words; rather, it allows the experience to speak for itself. At the same time as it seems to be sliding on an unseen stream of energy, the little wave that you control is rushing through jagged geometric tunnels. Each and every instant requires complete and utter attention, since even a transient disruption in rhythm is sufficient to bring about the complete collapse of everything. Players are compelled to entirely submerge themselves in the flow as a result of the oppressive quiet that provides a unique fascination.

The farther you go in game, the more it shows the severe but fair nature of the task it presents. The game does not rely on chance to trick players; rather, it consistently provides players with obvious challenges, ensuring that every failure is the result of a player's own mistakes. You eventually become aware of the secret pattern that lies underneath the apparently random courses as you continue to play through them. The peaks and valleys of the waves are no longer unconsciously triggered reflexes; rather, they have evolved into a methodical series of motions, comparable to the process of playing a piece of music in which each note must be precisely timed. As a result, Space Waves not only tests dexterity but also challenges the capacity to maintain composure and regulate one's emotions in the face of intense pressure.
