 The past week and a half I've posted over 30 minutes worth of videos, which is a lot for me, so I'm just gonna do a quick video about a small game I like on Steam called Waves. It lists for about $5, but it's almost always cheaper than that. The demo is free, and as of this writing, the full game is only $1, and it's totally worth it. Waves is a game that takes very simple gameplay and implements it in tons of different game modes. You play it as a sphere that you control with two analog sticks, one for movement and one for firing your projectiles. So yeah, this is a dual stick shooter. So yes, you will want a controller for this game. The mouse and keyboard are super awkward in this instance. You roll around in a confined space while a quote-unquote virus grows around you, and you guessed it, this is one of those get the high score kind of games. There's a points multiplier system where if you kill enough enemies, you can roll over a spot on the map to increase the rate you accumulate points. There are little extra bonuses here and there, like extra points for killing something point blank, or what I really like best about this game, killing stuff in bullet time mode. You get a very limited amount of bullet time and it builds up slowly, so use it wisely. What I try to do is let the virus build up, start bullet time and set off a bomb and just watch the fireworks and watch the points pile up. There's all sorts of subtleties to the gameplay here that it's difficult to put into words. It's one of those games where feel is everything, and they got the feel perfectly here. If waves sound dull to you, there's a lot of other game modes here, like survival mode that has an endless time limit, crunch time where you have 3 minutes to blow up as much shit as you possibly can, bombing run where you can only use bombs, and there's other more linear levels that you can conquer. Anyway, if you like stuff like geometry wars, you gotta check out waves. It's very very good and extremely well made, and if anything it can serve as a nice time killing game on your lunch break or whatever. Just make sure your boss is okay with you coming back to work an hour late every so often.
