Latest Steam announcements

  • Friday Update #3 - 29 May 2020

    This update was a long time coming, finally implemented the ability to customize note colors! Future plans include delay offsetting, custom highway images, custom backgrounds, and a song editor. In other news, I recently received a promotion at my full time job giving my more responsibility. This will definitely effect my ability to work on games for a while. I'll keep you updated on future plans and dates as I sort that out. As always, thanks for playing! - Stephen

  • Friday Update #2 - 22 May 2020

    A new song joins the list! Please welcome IDFK and their bubbly track Heartful. Looking forward to adding more of their unique tracks into the game.

  • FIXED CONTROL BUG - 11 May 2020

    I fixed the notorious controls not rebinding or working glitch that prevented people from playing. I'm really sorry about this glitch; it was a serious issue. It was only occurring for new players or people who hadn't completed a song yet. I wasn't properly handling the new feature in new save data files. To fail is to learn and based on MusicWave's reviews, I'm learning a lot. It's okay though, I knew this game would be rough around the edges when I released it in Early Access and the only way for the game to improve as well as my own game development habits is to move forward. This bug was game breaking, but hopefully you guys can forgive me and give it another chance. As always, thanks for playing. -Stephen

  • MASSIVE visual improvements. Suprise! - 10 May 2020

    I've had it on my list for a while to update MusicWave's GUI and this was long overdue. The visuals are a lot more fun and informative! Here's what's changed: Better placement of GUI meters New streak meter shows how close you are to each 50 increment. Animations and distinct colors for each meter so you can tell what it says without reading it. Multiplier meter now shows your streak progress Orbs are gold if you haven't missed a note FC indicator (Full combo (Having never missed a note or pressed something incorrectly)) Let me know if you like the new visuals! Might even change a few more things before supporting custom skinning, I just want everything to be where it should be. As for the control update bug: I cannot recreate the bug you guys are talking about where you cannot rebind your controls. I added a reset to default button for if your controls got messed up you can reset them,…

  • Friday Update #1 - 8 May 2020

    I'm a little light on the update this week. I wasn't able ton finish the song charts on time due to final exams and projects. I hope you can forgive me, I promise when the semester ends I'll be more regular on the updates! This update is still important, it adds the ability to rebind controls; something requested by almost every positive and negative review. It also adds some small optimizations throughout. Expect some more requested features to come soon! Let me know about any bugs. Thanks for playing, as always, -Stephen

  • Important! About the developer - 4 May 2020

    Hey guys, I'm really excited to grow MusicWave with the community, and so far the suggestions have been really productive for the game's development! I really appreciate anyone who's enjoying the game and giving feedback on how to improve it. That being said, the updates are tough for me to roll out because making games is only a hobby for me at the moment; well, my favorite hobby. The thing is I'm finishing my degrees in math and computer science this year while also working full time as a software developer for an engineering firm. These two things consume a lot of my time as well as personal stuff and my somewhat existing social life. That being said, I try to work on MusicWave an hour a day at least, but some weeks everything lines up and I have very little time to push updates or respond to comments. I'll try my best when I can to respond, so keep the feedback coming and expect an…

  • Major Game Mechanic Change - 2 May 2020

    I decided that MusicWave was too difficult and extremely unfriendly to beginners. There's really no need for a losing functionality anyways, that only makes players want to quit. I want people to get practice while also getting score, practice mode felt like a waste of time. I decided to change the mechanics so people can get through the easy charts while getting better and having fun. Here are the two simple yet effective changes: No more losing. Missing a note or pressing the wrong key subtracts 30 points. This will score players better for being more accurate but allow people to make mistakes early on. I hope these changes make the game more fun and playable. If you tried it and didn't like it, give the game another try! If you still don't like it, I appreciate that you gave it your time :) -Stephen

  • Practice mode added! - 2 May 2020

    The most requested feature was a practice mode. I quickly added it because I don't want new players to feel discouraged from trying! Still, I do admit that the difficulty curve is way too steep, there aren't nearly enough easy songs and still no beginner songs at the moment. I need to find some easier songs for beginners to start out on. Until then, then game will just have to be difficult. Hopefully the new practice mode will help people feel more comfortable with the controls and mechanics.

Short description

MusicWave is a challanging Rhythm game for Electronic Dance Music that uses the home row of the keyboard. Players can create, share and download custom tracks through third party tools. With a modern skin and beautiful effects, each song will captivate your senses.

About this game

Lose yourself in a sea of vibrant lights as you tap along to your favorite electronic music. Music Wave is a challanging Rhythm game for Electronic Dance Music that uses the home row of the keyboard. Players can create, share and download custom tracks through use of third party tools. With a modern skin and beautiful effects, each song will captivate your senses. Gameplay Ranging from difficult to easy, players can play through various EDM songs using ten keys from the home row of the keyboard. Through pressing notes as they traverse across the activation area, players accumulate score. Missing a note or pressing the wrong key losses life whereas hitting notes in succession heals the player. Score is accumulated from both streak and precision. Hitting notes in a row builds streak which applies to the base note value. Base note values are determined by the accuracy of the press. There are three tiers of accuracy. Players must master both precision and consistency to score high. Custom Songs Players can easily create, share, and download custom songs through use of third party tools. This means any song can be turned into a MusicWave track. Songs are generated from midis allowing players to use their favorite midi editing software to create tracks. For more information on creating songs, see the game website. Career Mode There are plans for a career mode, or standard set of songs that grow in difficulty. Unlock new songs by scoring higher in the already unlocked songs. All score in career mode goes towards your career score which can be compared against the world for a global ranking in skill.

Steam marketplace comparison data

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026
  • Lowest observed: Free
  • Highest observed: Free

MusicWave's USD price history spans from Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is Free, the highest is Free, and the first visible tracked price is Free. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

MusicWave's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free, from Sep 22, 2026 through Sep 22, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free. The latest run records Free for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: Free
  • Current list price: Free
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records MusicWave at Free in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
