There’s only one rule: hold to rise, release to fall. Everything else is reflexes, rhythm, and a little stubbornness. The tunnel gets narrower, spikes line both sides, gears spin, and moving obstacles block your path. Every level is carefully designed by hand, and every passage gets a little harder. 🌀 Level Mode: Unlock hand-crafted levels one by one, fill the progress bar, and reach the black hole. Every victory earns you diamonds. 😈 Demonic Race: Four rival bots race through the same tunnel at the same time. Just like you, they make mistakes, fall, and try again. Reach the finish line before they do and put your time on the global leaderboard. 🎵 Let Your Touches Become Music: Every time you tap the screen, the next note of the selected song plays. A new song awaits you on every attempt. Keep playing and let the melody unfold. 💎 Collect, Unlock, Show Off: Collect diamonds and unlock new characters with the Random button: triangles, stars, hearts, rockets, and more. And don’t forget to spin the daily reward wheel. 🏆 Global Leaderboards: Reach the top 100 for the highest level and the fastest race times. ☁️ Your Progress, Wherever You Go: Your progress is saved in the cloud. Pick up where you left off on your phone and continue on your computer. On mobile, a single tap is all you need. On PC, use Space, W, the Up Arrow, or a mouse click. Color themes slowly change as you play, so no two tunnels ever look exactly the same. One more try… Okay, seriously, this is the last one.
A spotlight falls on a grand piano at center stage. Beyond the beam, there is only darkness, and the light lasts as long as you play. Hold the light, finish the encore!

Rocket Rhythm is a unique rhythm action game. Dodge waves of enemies while dashing and slamming to the beat. And when the chorus hits... WEAPONS FREE! HOW TO PLAY: Left side notes dash, right side notes slam. During WEAPONS FREE sections you also aim and fire. Gamepad (recommended) Control the ship with the left stick, dash with the left trigger or left bumper, and slam with the right trigger or right bumper. Aim with the right stick. Keyboard and mouse Control the ship with WASD or the arrow keys, dash with the left mouse button and slam with the right. Aim with the mouse. Keyboard only Activate keyboard mode on the difficulty screen. This disables WEAPONS FREE sections, and the game can be fully controlled with WASD as well as J and K for dash and slam. All keys can be reconfigured in the settings menu. The game currently features four original songs, two of them playable for free. The others can be unlocked together with two additional modes. The initial soundtrack is planned to contain ten songs, and any purchase at the current price will also unlock the remaining ones as soon as they are released. In the future, I would like to collaborate with musicians for additional song packs. Rocket Rhythm is still in active development and I'll carefully monitor all feedback, both here on Wavedash and on Discord.
Just a fun little experiment. If people like it, I might do something more with this. One action per beat, step sideways, jump forward, or block projectiles. One point per tile moved, five points per coin or kill. The game ends when the song ends. Let me know what you think!

A deceptively simple rhythm game that will break you. Use any possible input to rotate left or right. Tap on the beat and hold the input to slide through a spiral. How far can you go? This is just a quick experiment using a song and chart from my upcoming game Rocket Rhythm. If people enjoy this I might work more on it and add more songs later, so please let me know!

Unifind is a hidden-object game on a beat. One unicorn hides in a crowd of creatures dancing in time, in a nightclub or at an open-air party, and you have to spot it before the track ends. A js13kGames 2026 entry for the Unicorns and Rainbows theme, also submitted to the Wavedash challenge.

Piano Jumper was created for js13kGames 2026: Unicorns and Rainbows. A unicorn walks a piano keyboard seen from the side. Moving is playing: crossing from one key to the next sounds that note. Play the tune, and the rainbow above completes itself. Controls Arrow keys, or the on-screen buttons on touch. Hold Space (or JUMP) and release to leap. Hold longer to go farther. Release with no direction held to hop in place. How to Play The next note is highlighted. Blue means you can walk there. Yellow means it needs a jump. Watch the landing marker while you charge. A repeated note is a hop in place, not a step. Black keys are obstacles, not platforms. Land on one and you play a wrong note. Clear at 80% accuracy. The song always finishes — a rough run just leaves the rainbow gap-toothed, and you still get to hear your take played back. Every white key is in C major, so a fumbled note stays in tune. Only the black keys sound wrong. Features Four public domain tunes: Ode to Joy, London Bridge, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, When the Saints Go Marching In. Melody only, generated with oscillators. No audio files. The rainbow is the progress bar, the score and the pass condition in one object — one wedge per note. Its seven colours are the seven white keys of an octave. A replay of your performance after every song, wrong notes and all. The entire game is a single HTML file under 13KB. Created by WAKKIN.

FROOPYLAND — Unicorns & Rainbows A game based on the iconic Rick and Morty episode “The ABC’s of Beth” (Season 3, Episode 9) Beth bursts into the garage: the news say Tommy’s dad is being executed TODAY for murder! Rick grabs his portable quantum projector — and the duo heads to Froopyland, a childhood paradise Rick once built with his own hands. He swears: everything here is child-proofed, NOTHING can go wrong. Of course it can. On the way to the prison they face SEVEN trials — one for every rainbow color: 🔴 Garage — the projector is fried: flip cable segments, zero every pipe and open the chalk door. 🟠 Nest — a giant winged pony kidnaps Rick into its nest! Fight off waves of hungry baby unicorns before Rick becomes dinner. 🟡 Memory Gate — Tommy warded the path: copy five light sequences in a row. One mistake — back to square one. 🟢 Cells — collect five memory chips and bring them to Rick one at a time while froupies chase you. 🔵 Trace — a chalk lock: trace the zigzag of dots without lifting your line to draw the counter-door. 🟣 Tommy — a knife duel: grab the pink arrow, aim, and land three hits. 🌈 DNA — solve a 6×12 cable puzzle connecting the top-left corner to the bottom-right — can Rick clone Tommy before the execution? All of this fits in 13 KB of vanilla JavaScript: no assets — every character, sound and location is drawn procedurally in code. Mouse or touchscreen only. In true Rick and Morty fashion: dark humor, burps, wubba lubba dub dub and amoral genius solutions. Trial seven. Color seven. Save Tommy’s dad — or at least save yourself.

Anansi’s venom. The Grim’s memory. Your hands. How to play Swing the horn through a rank of approaching unicorn cavalry. Cut early or late and you’ll be told; cut clean and the chain builds. You cannot be harmed. You can only miss kills that take colour from the world. Desktop — move the mouse. The horn follows. Mobile — swipe. Hold and drag to swing; works in portrait or landscape. Chains multiply your score at 5, 12 and 24 unbroken cuts. A run is three minutes. Then comes the lullaby. Previous Game Unicorn Sugarworld: Looking Up Story So Far Anansi’s dream venom shows Athena the stakes. She learns of horrors darker than anything she has known, directly through the eyes of the Grim: the corrupted unicorn buried under the sugar dunes. Here the unicorn cavalry launch a desperate charge against him. Grim is in no danger from them. He only grows stronger as he kills them, and the world dims with every rank he opens. That was the point. Every unicorn that rode at him was buying time for the seven flutes, and the lullaby put him to sleep for as long as the tune continues. It’s abstracted as a dream, with symbolic expressions of the cavalry rather than real unicorn warriors. Watery distortion clouds her vision. Even so, when she wakes, Athena will understand one thing clearly: the thing in the tomb must not. Next Game Unicorn Sugarworld: Deathball More at unicornsugarworld.com
