Pre-order beautiful indie title Waveform from $5
Independent developer Eden Industries has launched a Kickstarter campaign to help fund its unusual new game, Waveform. For just $5 you can secure a copy of the game on launch day, on every platform it graces, which is pretty sweet. As with all Kickstarter projects, if the funding attempt falls through, you won’t be charged.
The game has players manipulating light as it passes through the universe, navigating a variety of shape-changing objects and collecting items. Gameplay looks to be something like a blend of rhythm action and puzzle, and is complemented by trippy visuals and gorgeous chiptunes. Check out a trailer through the break.
