Afters

AFTERS is a short demo. Walk through moonlit woods at night, down a dripping storm drain, and into a packed underground rave hidden in an old bunker. Push through hundreds of dancers fading into thick haze, find a spot on the floor, and dance along with the crowd.

Draft Punks

How often do you get a musical cardgame? Draft Punks is a hybrid of a deckbuilder, a rhythm game and a music production/DJing app, where players attempt to live build the sickest set they can within a 4 minute window. Keep the crowd entertained with variety and creativity, bore them too much and they won't vibe with your set. Played entirely with the mouse or touch. Solo devved for Gamedev JS jam 2026 in 4 and a bit days with Phaser 4 and toneJS. All audio samples/loops I made myself in FL studio, art with Affinity.

WaveRush

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.

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.

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.

Piano Jumper

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.
