With a splash of murder
There’s a giant hole in the Bear Drives A Speedboat And Performs All Sorts Of Cool Arcade Tricks But Also Sometimes The Bear Carries Around An AK47 market.Wave Breakis here to fill that void.
From Funktronic Labs, creators ofNova-111, is a much quicker and less methodical game.Wave Breakis an arcade boating game inspired byTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2andWave Race 64. Aside from the obvious trick combos and high score chasing,Wave Breakalso puts some degree of emphasis on explosions, gold chains, and guns. There’s also multiplayer, both local and online.
I’ve already had a chance to play this game, way back in March at a GDC event. It was just a rough prototype then, only a little bit into development if I recall correctly. It showed promise then, but needed a lot more development time under its belt. I’m glad Funktronic stuck with it. you’re able to kind of immediately tell if an arcade trick game will feel right, andWave Breakseems like it meets that criteria.
Wave Breakis currently set to launch onSteamsometime next year. Funktronic says it hopes to bringWave Breakto consoles at some point, but nothing is confirmed right now. For anyone who doesn’t want to wait for the final release to start motorboating, Funktronic is holding an alpha formembers of its Discord channel.
