Crazy game control method but worth persevering at to learn. Difficult at times but not frustratingly so once you get the hang of the frankly madwhack mechanics.
Lots of difficult to master techniques and super hard endgame style challenges for those who like that kind of thing. Runs well with no bugs that I'm aware of and sports a massive 80 levels to complete.
Its got that kind of playstyle where you run on autopilot but simultaneously have to focus intensely.
An underrated gem in my opinion.

Fantastic game mechanic with very tight controls. Great art and music too.
EDIT: OK THIS GAME IS COOL. Currently halfway though the game and the levels keep getting crazy creative. At first one would think "Sure its a cool gimmick, but I'm sure you can only push this game mechanic so far" but that is NOT the case. Its a trip for sure.

What a unique game! Quite difficult! Awesome music! The controls are so wacky and so unlike anything I've ever played before, but game is paced pretty well to ease you in. It'll be a little bit of a struggle at first but then it becomes really satisfying navigating through the levels!
The first section in Level 59 though -_-
If you want a challenge, you'll definitely get one with this game!

"Wavey The Rocket has its ups and downs, it’s crests and troughs, if you will, but it is still a good game at its core. There are just a few rough edges that need to be worked on and status quos to break free of"

The game brings cool graphics and a hard to get used gameplay, not in the bad way. The game is fun, catching and really challenging! I recommend everyone to give it a try!

A truly one of a kind movement mechanic that I've never seen anywhere else before, this game deserves so much more attention and love.

Game bought during the Wavey Dash promotion with European Speedrunner Assembly.
The screenshots and videos on steam page are a very good representation of what you get: unique sine wave controls, with the player character following the sine wave and not being able to stop. It's exactly what it looks like and I'd compare it to weird games centered around an uncontrollable player movement cycle, like the spinning stick game Kuru Kuru Kururin (GBA) or star riding in Gimmick (NES). There's nothing quite like it, which can be fun, but not recommendable if you're not down for learning highly specialized controls & mechanics totally different from most other videogames.
There are a lot of levels, and some interesting variety in them, though the difficulty curve is wavey and the latter half of the game spikes way up. Most likely you'll give up before unlocking, let alone beating all of them - I made it to around level 50 out of 81 so far.
I've been told the difficulty is being tweaked in an upcoming patch, but even without it I would recommend the game if the sine wave premise sounds like your thing.
