The basics

  • After every wave there's a shop. Spend your coins on upgrades.
  • Every fifth wave is a boss, alone.
  • Level up to earn Points for the Skill tree. Those upgrades stay with you between runs.
  • Sometimes the Devil offers a deal: big power for a while, at a price.
  • Campaign is 40 waves. Endless never ends.

Wave Battler plays on a computer with a keyboard or a controller.
