About VectorWave

Hi Everyone, Thanks for your support over the years. As one of the only two people behind VectorWave I would like to thank everyone who ever downloaded my game from the bottom of my heart. I've been making plans to revive this game for over 2 years. I've wanted to update it to modern controllers/headsets, even give it a minor graphical facelift, but unfortunately my time is very limited. As of now, VectorWave is dead. You can only play it if you have an original HTC Vive or a first or second gen oculus. This bring me no joy, but after 2 years of attempting to get the time to work on it, I believe it's finally time to throw in the towel. Any free time I get will go towards new game ideas of endeavors I may have. Thanks again.

VectorWave translates the traditional tower defense experience into virtual reality, allowing you the freedom to buy, place, toss, and move towers as you see fit between each wave with almost no need for menus. Each hand serves its own purpose in your efforts to build an impenetrable defense grid against increasingly difficult hordes of malware bent on destroying your mainframe.

Moving from a 2-D top down perspective in traditional TD games to Virtual Reality allows us to expand on this genre like never before. Because split second decisions and positioning matter, VectorWave's simple, yet versatile, movement and scaling system allows you to either stand directly in the action, or watch your carefully laid out plans from afar.

VectorWave is a free VR tower defense game that takes the usual tower defense formula and puts the whole battlefield in front of us in virtual reality. We are defending a mainframe from waves of malware, and instead of placing towers through menus, we can physically grab, move and throw them around the battlefield. It is a simple idea, but VR makes the basic tower defense setup feel much more hands on. The best part is easily the way we interact with the towers. We can use our hands to buy, place and move them between waves, which makes building our defense feel much more direct than clicking through a normal strategy interface. We can also move and scale our view, so we can either get right into the action or pull back and look at the whole battlefield while planning where everything should go. The game has 21 levels, 20 enemy types and 22 different towers, so there is a decent amount of content for a small free VR game. We also get unique player abilities, achievements, leaderboards and Steam trading cards. The different enemy types mean we cannot always rely on exactly the same defense, and working out where each tower is most useful is a big part of getting through the harder…

Игра VectorWave — это аркадный шутер с яркой векторной графикой, напоминающей классические аркады 80-х. Геймплей динамичный: игрок управляет кораблём, уничтожая врагов и избегая ловушек. Управление простое, но требует точности. Звуковая сцена — минималистичная, но атмосферная. Плюсы: увлекательные уровни, стильный дизайн, доступность. Минусы: ограниченный выбор режимов, сложность для новичков. Подойдёт фанатам аркад и головоломок. Рекомендую!
