Wave Race is an arcade-style game that is played at high speed, with the player controlling a character that is always in flight through tunnels full of obstacles. The game play is based on reflexes and altitude control. You can't stop the character thus you always need to change your flying path to avoid running into walls, spikes, etc.
The most unique part of Wave Race is its basic control system. By holding down the button, the character will fly up and by releasing it the character will drop. The timing of holding and releasing provides a continual up and down motion, like a wave.
The further you go, the harder the spaces between barriers get. You have to watch for a few seconds to see if you are flying high or low. If you wait until the barriers are too close to react, the probability of a crash is very high.
Change height
Hold down the control button to fly the character higher . Release to drop . Instead of constantly yanking your character up and down, make small adjustments to your altitude.
Avoid barriers
Obstacle observation Observe the front tunnel and discover sufficient gaps. Early on you should expect a rapid sequence of walls, spikes and other hazards.
Walk through the tunnel
The idea is to fly as far as you can without hitting things. Remember the challenging spots to work on for the next try after each failure.
Look forward always, not only to your character.
If there are barriers overhead, do not press the button for too long.
Press the button, release early for low gaps
As you go faster, keep a steady pace of control.
Listen again and again to memorise the tough parts.
Wave Race is really easy to learn, but you need quick reflexes and good timing. If you like short, fast-paced arcade games, and want to see how far you can go, Wave Race is a challenge worth taking.
