Mindwave is shaping up to be just as groovy as its inspirations.
There are plenty of upcoming games to be excited about as the new year approaches, and one of my most anticipated games is Mindwave, a madcap indie minigame-fest in the style of WarioWare. There’s no release window yet, but a recent Kickstarter update dropped on Dec. 28 alongside a new trailer that had me perplexed at first and sold about 15 seconds in.
It just shows off the game’s « game over » screen, which sounds like the sort of thing that wouldn’t be all that noteworthy, but the song slaps. Funky synth bass and warped, echoing samples glide over hip hop drums; it’s the sort of dance-worthy defeat screen that salves the sting of losing in a frenzied arcade game.
