Man I love this game. I play it everytime I’m on my computer. Too bad it doesn’t automatically keep track of your personal best.

[...] believe that NMcCoy made this game and my idea of him as a developer was bolstered. I already loved Wavespark. So while that helped out my opinion of NMcCoy, I completely missed the fact that it was done by a [...]

I wasn’t expecting much when I clicked the link on indiegames weblog (actually to one of your other games, which I haven’t yet tried) but I’m glad I did. Wavespark is a super simple game and after playing it for a few seconds I got one of those “I wish I had thought of this!” feelings.

The one button controls are extremely easy to pick up and it’s very satisfying to hit a steep downward slope and get a big speed boost.

This definitely seems like the kind of game that with a little polish could do well on XBox indie games or similar.

Love your 1 game a week challenge by the way. Hopefully you will produce more gems like this (maybe you already did… I will play some more later.)

Best of luck!

Saw your comment on Facebook to find this game. I love it! Very fun and addictive. This game has potential to be really really awesome! I know how much you would appreciate feedback, so I’m gonna give it to you. What’s that, you say? You don’t want any? Too bad!

– You probably are aware of this, but when playing Distance or Bonus mode, and it’s not the first game you have played (i.e. if you quit or lost the previous game), the little dot at the bottom comes from the right instead of the left. The problem corrects itself after passing the first checkpoint.

– In addition to the little red dot at the bottom of the screen indicating the pace you must keep, I think it would be fun to have a more visible dot in the center of the screen. Maybe you could make it a toggle option for people that wouldn’t like it.

– I love the visuals! Very awesome in their simplicity.

– More advanced – maybe multiplayer?

Well that’s pretty much it. You should consider marketing this game, it would be an awesome XBLA addition.

Great game. Simple concept, neat programming, good feeling of speed, fresh idea. This gets a 10 out of 10 score on my list as well.
