Game description
Wave Control is a 2D puzzle-platformer where everything revolves around four brainwave-based abilities. Use your powers to manipulate machines, slimes, and physics objects as you progress through the levels.

Theme interpretation
The game revolves 4 brain wave types:
Delta, Alpha, Beta and Gamma
I translated these wave's associated mental state into their equivalent game mechanics, that can be shot at multiple game objects to interact with and use to solve puzzles.

Thank you for your game. Unfortunately, I don't know why, when I start level1, any inputs is not working (move, jump or power)... So it might be a very nice proposition but I could try it well...

Really well made! Loved the idea and the art quality is one of the best so far.

Wonderful game, it would be nice to have more atmosphere with art and music and tips where a bit hard to read. I would say we have similar brain waves, I had the same core idea and I really like your implementation )

I really liked the idea and the concept! The graphics are 10/10 and were really pleasant to look at :D

The game could've used a bit more polish though. I got stuck a lot and were really confused sometimes.

The cycling through the different mechanics was a bit unintuitive.

Besides that though, great game!

Super unique game, love the brain wave idea. The puzzles were cool, but what held it back was some of the janky physics and collisions (Espcecially in the second to last level).

The game is visually striking, the lighting is great and the brain with just a stick figure body is really funny and cool.
Some music (even just a royalty free loop) would also help with immersion.

Good stuff overall!

thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you liked the idea, and I agree with you, the game lacks a lot of polish, I tried to fix as much as I can but I didn't have enough time.

The idea is very cool and new. I think you can make a whole game on this idea.

Thank you :), I might revisit the idea once I become more experienced with game dev

I find the game concept very original. Some elements of the environment are hard to visualize, but it's cool.
