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. Entering the Build It With Phaser and Deploy To Wavedash Categories. Itch.io link: https://fatalexit.itch.io/draft-punks

Rocket Rhythm

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.

RHYTHMSHOCK

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!

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 1. The next note is highlighted. Blue means you can walk there. 2. Yellow means it needs a jump. Watch the landing marker while you charge. 3. A repeated note is a hop in place, not a step. 4. 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.
