Hold to rise, release to dive. Surf a neon ship through a winding space cavern, dodge buzzsaws and laser bars, and grab crystals at ludicrous speed.
About Nebula Wave
Nebula Wave is a one-button arcade surfer set inside a glowing space cavern. Your ship never stops zig-zagging. Hold anywhere to climb, let go to dive, and thread the gap between a pink ceiling and a cyan floor that twist tighter the deeper you go. Blocking the path: spinning golden buzzsaws and neon laser bars. Green crystals tempt you into risky little detours, and the speed keeps ramping until the whole cavern blurs into CRT-tinted light. The three difficulty modes completely change a run's personality. Cruise is a chill glide, Rush is the classic test, and Chaos is pure madness for anyone who thinks they've seen it all. Restarts are instant, milestones speed you up, and every crash ends in a screen-shaking burst of slow-motion. One more wave. That's always the thought.

How to play Nebula Wave
Your ship flies forward on its own and always moves diagonally: up while you hold, down while you release. Tap and hold anywhere (or hold Space/W) to rise, release to dive, and weave through the cavern without clipping the walls, the spinning saws or the neon bars. Grab green crystals for bonus points. Your final score is distance plus 15 per crystal. Pick Cruise, Rush or Chaos difficulty, then go chase your best score.
Controls
Hold Space, W, Up arrow, mouse button or a finger on the screen to rise; release to dive. P or Escape pauses. Sound toggle on the menu.
Tips & tricks
- Make small pulses — tap-tap-tap flying is far more stable than long holds.
- Hug the safer wall when a saw blocks the middle of the gap.
- Crystals are bait: only detour when the cavern ahead is wide.
- Every 250 m the speed jumps — pre-aim for the centre of the gap before it does.
