MusicWave

MusicWave is an electronic dance music rhythm game. You play songs by pressing notes with ten keys on the keyboard’s home row as they cross an activation area. Songs range from easy to difficult.

Gameplay

Hitting notes adds to your score, while missing a note or pressing the wrong key costs you life. Hitting notes in succession restores life. Your score depends on both streak and precision: consecutive hits build a streak that multiplies the base note value, while accuracy determines that value across three tiers.

Custom songs

You can create, share and download custom tracks using third-party tools. Tracks are generated from MIDI files, so you can use MIDI editing software to make songs for MusicWave.

Career mode

Career mode is described as a planned set of songs that increase in difficulty. You unlock songs by scoring higher on those already available. Scores in career mode contribute to a career total that can be compared globally.
