Waves ! Reviews

by Naho Haise

This game is not the best by any means, the only objective is to see how far you can get and no reward, even temple run has more objectives than this. I’d suggest after doing a landing it stays getting brighter, then after doing 10 it turns red, 20 turns orange, 30 turns yellow, etc. til the 70th turns white and then the boats turns black, maybe the ground can change colors too, also changing the frequency of the this app so that they are random, if not thats fine. The water could look better and maybe fix a couple glitches, for example fix the lag and frame rate that causes the boat to randomly flip and sink, next fix where when you do crash and you can either hit “no thanks” or “continue if you watch an ad” options, you hit “no thanks” and it plays an ad anyways, that is annoying. Lastly fix where you can accidently get your boat in the water, but it doesn’t sink and the only way to start over is closing Waves and relaunching or running out all your gas, which if you play for as long as i have, isnt a option cause it will take longer than if you clos Waves and relaunch it.

I’ve downloaded this game twice, and both times I’ve come across the a few of the biggest problems with the game:
-NaN coins
If any of the 4 categories are completely upgraded, your amount of coins reads “NaN” and it makes it impossible to upgrade any other category.
-Wave glitch
At various points throughout the game, the boat flips and will get stuck in the wave. The only way to make yourself unstuck is by either
A) Emptying your gas tank
or
B) Closing Waves
-Surfer Skin
I have unlocked and played multiple rounds with every single skin in the game, with the exception of the surfer that can only be unlocked by “Play with all skins”. I surf all the time so I’d be pretty stoked if I could rock that skin in the game.
A lot of people complain about the ads. While yes, they pop up quite frequently, I really appreciate you allowing the little “x” in the corner to show after 5 seconds. It’s appeared with every ad I’ve seen so far, and I say thanks for not making your users wait 30 seconds for the whole ad like a lot of developers do. Anyways, a couple of ways you could improve the game would be to maybe add some customization or possibly more levels or skin-specific challenges to spice it up a little.
This game is a ton of fun and I’d love to be able to rate it higher, but the issues are pretty huge. Please fix em soon!

I’m currently the 15th highest ranked player in the game meaning I’ve played this a lot and I’m good at it. The game is fun but it has numerous bugs and is in dire need of an update. At high speeds the boat will lodge into the water causing you to either exit the game or hold down on the screen until you run out of gas. The boat at high speeds will also fishtail and your boat will point sideways, you must exit the game or die to correct this.

The most glaring issue to me though is the lag at higher scores. After you pass 120,000 in score which I’ve done numerous times the game will crash. Not only has this stopped me short of breaking my record but it’s also incredibly annoying. Why play a game that crashes when you play well? Need to fix that or else you will lose players faster than you gain them because the competitive drive to perform will be lost.

this game has a few bugs. first, sometimes the position of the boat will get it caught in the water. if you get caught, you have no way to get out because you can't move and so you're stuck there until you use up all your fuel. second, i'm not sure how i did this but my flip points are set to infinity. I kept incrementing my flip points normally and then all of a sudden, it got set to infinity (Inf). when I tried to increment it again from infinity, some back end calculation got messed up and now my coins are set to not a number (NaN). I have no way to reset the entire game either so now i just have NaN coins and the boost options are all grayed out. third, sometimes, the direction the boat is facing changes? instead of a 12 o clock direction, it'll change to 10 o clock or 3 o clock.

please help me reset the game, i would like to play more and have a score that is a number.

If I could post pictures I would. The things that are the most irritating is: when playing the game and not changing your method, some times the boat will randomly dive into the wave and get stuck and you can't move. Forcing you to hold down on the screen and use all of your gas - the fix - either make that bug go away or add a reset button so you don't have to wait for a very long time if you are further in the game. - second frustrating issue is when coming off of a jump some times the boat will randomly "catch air" and will cause you to crash. These things didn't happen when I first downloaded Waves but have been happening more and more. Other than those two things the game is super fun and I can play for hours ( and have irritated my wife doing so)

First off, I have to say I really did enjoy this game when I first started playing it. However, the problems emerged once I got into it further, and eventually I stopped playing.
So here are the problems:
First off, there are some points when you’re about to go over the crest of the wave, and your boat glitches into the wave. When you’re in the middle of a great run with nothing to do but lose, it’s extremely disheartening.
Secondly, the fuel tank upgrade is... arguably ridiculous. After a few dozen upgrades, which aren’t hard to get, no one in their right mind would have the desire to play one game for as long as that fuel tank lasts. People who have upgraded it to this point should know what I’m talking about. I even came to the point where I stopped upgrading fuel altogether, but I still have to say I wish I could downgrade it a few times just to get my sanity back.
Third, just in general, the money system is a little silly too. You get money really, really easily after the few dozen upgrades I mentioned earlier.
Fourth, the game gets a little boring after a while... and by that I mean, it doesn’t get any harder. I mean, you just do the same thing over and over again... hold to jump, hold to flip flip flip flip, land strategically, repeat. With the fuel upgrades, you do the same thing over and over again, but for even longer. Games like these are meant to be short and fun, not long and tedious.

The games pretty fun, but it’s a got this annoying glitch where whenever you’re surfing you might land and get stuck in the wave. There’s no way out of it other than emptying your gas tank or quitting the game and it’s aggravating when I’m trying to beat my high score. Also, I don’t know if this is just me, but I have upgraded my boat speed to 1,390% and I haven’t noticed it speed up at all since the beginning of the game. I watched a video of someone just starting the game and their boat speed when surfing was exactly the same as mine. One more thing. A lot of iPhone games don’t do this and I wish they did, this one included. I wish there was more than just two environments. It gets so boring to progress only to see the same landscape over and over again. The landscapes aren’t even that detailed or pleasant to look at. Thank you, welcome to my TED talk.

I really like this game a lot it’s very fun and addictive to play. There are a few things I’d like to maybe see in a future update though. Having power ups in the game could possibly make it a little more interesting. Some power ups including spin faster, boat speed, or double coins the power ups should last long like maybe 10 seconds or less. The game graphics are ok it’d be nice if the water could be updated to look like water it just looks like land with a blue line across it. Maybe update the water and all around graphics and make it look nicer. This game has a LOT of potential I’d like to see the games greatly improved and new stuff added in future updates. I also did have some problems with the game it would start going slow and lagging after a playing for a bit. I also noticed the game would crash after playing for a bit too. One more thing that happened to me while I was playing is I’d go up really high and then once I land my boat would get stuck into the ground and I’d have to waist all of the gas so that I could restart. I don’t know if the developers are going to red this but I want you to know your game has amazing potential and I’d like to see what you can do for it in future updates.

by Sir Benjamin Tatum

I’ve seen some good suggestions in here, but really the only suggestion I can provide, is that you fix the glitch that keeps happening to me. Every now and then I’ll land perfectly, and when I hit the gas, my boat somehow wedges itself between the connecting landscape pieces. Obviously it’s just a series of repeating landscape presets, I saw that, and I couldn’t care less. But I just don’t like that my boat somehow manages to get stuck between them, and the game just stays right there with me stuck. It doesn’t make me lose or allow me to keep going. The only ways to get back to the main menu are to either close the game out entirely, or use up all my gas and lose. That wouldn’t be a big deal, if my gas tank wasn’t so upgraded... it takes almost 3 minutes to drain my tank. Please fix this bug.

by Ok So Basically...

I have been playing this game for a while now and it wasn’t until recently that I had to delete and reinstall the game. Let me explain why, I first logged onto the game in the morning to first realize that I had earned and offline earning of “inf” wishbone thought was infinity. So I tap collect and proceed to spam all my upgrades to get them as high as I can with my supposed infinite amount of coins. But I ran out of coins as the upgrade boxes were greyed out implying I couldn’t upgrade them anymore. I then proceeded to play doing flips earning coins but I noticed in the top corner it said “nan” and now matter how many flips I did to earn coins the nan would not change and the boxes were still greyed out. I love this game but there’s a lot of bugs that need to be sorted out before I can continue to play this more. :)

This game is pretty good, but I do have some suggestions. First I suggest that you should be able to customize your boat! You should be able to make it have different designs, patterns, and colors! Also, I feel like it gets kinda repetitive and boring to keep upgrading the same upgrades on your vehicle over and over. I wish you could add more upgrades. I see a lot of pontential in this game and know there can be a lot of cool ideas added into it, such as more biomes and weather options, or different game modes. One last suggestion I have is to cut down on the ads. I know the main source of this company’s income is from all the ads it puts in its many games. But it’s to a point where almost every time you die you have to watch one. And it’s not just pop ups, they have even snuck an ad of other games they’ve created in the home screen! How sneaky of them! I know that it’s how they make money since the game is free, but I hope they can just cut down a little on the ads because sometimes it makes me frustrated and not want to play the game. Overall the game is amazing and I see a lot of potential in it. It’s great to play when you’re bored and have no WiFi. I also would like to praise how good the graphics are! Just one small suggestion, you should shade the river a little more, the little stuff counts! Other than that, LOVE IT! Good work!

by Glichy But Good Game

This Game is super fun but it’s a little bit glitchy. Like when I go onto Waves sometimes I will hit the button but then it will flip the boat. But it is still a very fun game other than what I just said. My favorite thing about this game is that I like it when you doing good the gold comes out in the water, I also like how sometimes there’s bigger this app than other. I think This game did a very good job making this game to me Because it’s super fun and lots People agree with me If you look at all the comment. I also think that a lot of the problems in this game that people wrote Are similar so maybe you should fix couple of the things that people are saying. Then you’ll be good to go and everyone will like your game and you will get five stars and good reviews every time Good job with this game though it is very fun!

Overall I think this is a great game for passing the time. I have come across a couple things that do annoy me about the game though. One of them being that sometimes, especially at haber speeds when you get ‘perfect’ multiple towns in a row, the boat will so a sort of nosedive into the oncoming hill and get stuck. It won’t completely flip over so it doesn’t end the game, but you are unable to go any further. This has happened many times to me and of course it always happens when I’m on a roll and going really far. So usually I have to watch a video to restart or run out of gas.

I also think you should be able to customize the boats. Using the same bases but you could add colors and stripes. Maybe on the penguins you could add hats or something. Maybe make the water different things, like lava, acid, pink, brown, etc.

It is mostly great, except there are a few bugs. One is that the money is messed up, where it shows million even after it surpasses 1 billion. Also, the billion is actually trillion! Something else annoying is that you get stuck in the this app sometimes and when you have to restart Waves or run out of gas (you which takes awhile if it’s on a high level). Then, sometimes I am riding on the flat part and it just flips me over! The last annoying thing (so far) is that I restarted Waves , only to find that my money per flip had been severely downgraded even though the level was the same. It went from 300 mil to 25 million!!!!! Yet the price was wayyyy higher than I was earning because it was the same as when my money per flip was much higher. Everything else is good as far as I can notice. Please fix these bugs.

by E. Crowe

this game has real potential. It’s great for when you don’t feel like giving your full attention to a game. It feels so satisfying to when the boat perfectly hits the water. But as I played i noticed a few bugs that occurred every once in a while. The first one i noticed was my boat would every once in a while drive into a wave, get stuck and refuse to sink until i ran out of gas. The second one i noticed was that every once in a while if you hit the water the right angle your boat continues to turn as you go forward until it’s completely flipped and sunk. Finally after a while of playing the amount of money i gained caused a stack overflow. The amount of money i made became infinite. After trying to use this money after the first thing i bought my account total became NaN and will not change from that. Overall this game is a fun game for 2 or 3 days but you will get bored after that.

Ok so I’d like to start off by saying that this is an amazing game company and I love every one of its games I’ve played (definitely go check out Dunes!). This one is a good game too, and I love the concept of it, but there are some small things that I’d like to see fixed. First of all, about once in every five times I begin a run, my boat will get stuck in the first wave and I either have to reload Waves or run the boat until my fuel runs out (this also happens further along in a run every now and then as well). The second thing I’ve noticed is that there are small little seams in between the this app that cause the boat to flip at an unexpected time. This is major, considering that any time you go over one of the many seams at a considerable speed the boat unexpectedly jumps (and since the control to flip is the same as the one to gain speed, I end up flipping the boat over and dying ninety percent of the time). Overall, though, I think this game is great but I would love to see these improvements made! Thanks for making all the awesome games you make!🌊🌊

The game it’s self is awesome I love playing it but their are some major problems..When I play the game my boat sometimes goes straight into a wave and I can get out until the fuel is empty and I don’t want to wait there until the fuel is out since I upgraded and I have a lot more capacity. Another problem is I feel that there is a tiny bump in the middle of the this app that causes me to flip right when I land and crash! I love the game but I have to constantly restart it when I get stuck and it can get frustrating when you are trying to get a high score but can’t because you get stuck or flip when you already landed and are trying to boost forward. I would love if you can fix these problems and I would play it a lot more often!

by Ipwalls

I must say, the scaling for this game is probably the best out of all of the games of yours I have played. It actually makes gameplay much more fun and for longer. Only issue is a strange glitch where I sort of run into the next wave and it is impossible to get out lol. Kind of funny, but hard to kill yourself with over 2800% fuel capacity, it would literally take me minutes to intentionally kill myself to restart. Luckily I’ve solved this just by closing Waves and reopening it. Anyways, this is probably my favorite Voodoo game of all time that I’ve played. Great job Voodoo 👍

by Emptyviet00

This is a fantastic game to play whether there’s no internet or if I’m just plain bored. When I feel like I’ve played enough of something on my computer, or when I’m going to school in the morning, I whip out my phone and open this app. I have unlocked every boat... except one due to some issue.
The boat that unlocks once you’ve played with every boat does not unlock for me. I have played with the boats from the starter boat to the penguin iceberg, yet the boat still does not unlock.
It would be fantastic if you were to fix this bug, as I would really appreciate having every boat. This game is a great game, and when it comes to boredom or no internet, this is something you’ll need to download.

This game is an eye opening experience for those who need some time off from work and stress. Cortisol level is considered to be heavily correlated to certain bodily distinctions such as sore in the mouth etc. This game shows lucidly and vividly what a simple game on a simple everyday device can achieve - a good design by good creators I must assume. Thank you so much for this opportunity to write a review - as a co-creator of art, I cannot thank Voodoo more because I suffer from great anxiety myself, but Voodoo games let me relax a bit and take time to write kind reviews. I am a student of psychology and music, and I hope one day I become a great person who can thrive not on business but good intentions - of which I see in your games. Thanks team effort!
