When you enter Space Waves, you are not only playing a straightforward arcade game; rather, you are entering a realm where reflexes, rhythm, and speed all work together to create a symphony of survival. The game's environment is lively, rolling, and full of obstacles rather than serene like the far-off stars. Every move and glide you make while piloting a tiny spacecraft through the corridors of light will determine whether you win or lose. The delicate manner that game makes you fit into the rhythm of space—where one false beat may cause you to vanish into nothingness—creates suspense instead of using loud noises or graphic pictures.

With all of your movements synchronized with the beat of music and light, Space Waves' gameplay is the ideal fusion of speed and emotion. The ship in the game is always racing ahead, so you can't control the speed, but you can manage the direction and how to dodge and get past a lot of deadly objects. Spiral pathways, energy barriers, and curved light waves will test your ability to control with millisecond accuracy. A great reward for complete focus is the sensation you get when you cross a challenging road, dodge obstacles in an instant, and venture further into space.
