Mindwave, a Kickstarter-funded game by HoloHammer, is a tribute to Nintendo's iconic WarioWare, known for its absurdist minigames. As part of Steam Next Fest, players can experience its frenetic gameplay, which involves a rapid sequence of microgames that challenge players to fulfill various commands. While it maintains the essence of WarioWare's gameplay, Mindwave introduces complex controls that enhance the challenge. The game combines humor with its chaotic structure, making it both a nostalgic nod to WarioWare and an innovative title in its own right.
Mindwave, a (very successfully) Kickstarter-funded game by HoloHammer, is an explicit tribute to the first WarioWare, from its overall anarchic presentation down to the coarsely digitized sound of the "yeah!" sample that greets a successfully completed microgame.
Like WarioWare, the core of the gameplay in Mindwave is a sequence of repeating microgames, each introduced by a single verb command: Sort! Grab! Stitch! Spam!
Mindwave is a little more complex, in that it has a number of different control techniques - mouse, arrow keys, typing games - that are flagged at the start of each game.
You can play a demo right now as part of Steam Next Fest, running from Feb. 24 to March 3.
