Woah Dave!

Woah Dave! is an energetic and unapologetically old-school arcade experience that captures the chaos and charm of the golden age of gaming while injecting it with modern polish and manic personality. Developed by MiniVisions and published by Choice Provisions, it strips away narrative, progression, and cinematic flair in favor of pure reflex-driven gameplay. Everything about it, from its minimalist pixel art to its frantic soundtrack, channels the spirit of a bygone era when games thrived on immediacy and challenge. You play as the ever-panicked Dave Lonuts, a mustachioed everyman who finds himself trapped in a tiny arena under siege by waves of alien creatures.

WOAH DAVE! I really like this game. A Mario Bros style arcade game but you through around objects to kill all the aliens and it's really addicting. The music also slaps. DELUXE!
