Overview

MINDWAVE is a Warioware inspired indie game created by HoloHammer. The game follows the player-character Pandora as she competes in a game show hosted by a company called Mindscape Co. The game involves competitors climbing Mindscape Tower by linking their minds and playing a series of "microgames" called "MINDWAVE," with each game pulling inspiration from a character's thoughts or memories. HaloHammer exceeded their Kickstarter goal in January 2025, after releasing a demo to overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam.

I saw the vtuber Dollip Daze play this recently and I was hooked on this game after her video. The visuals, music, and microgames all look awesome, and the extra level of character interaction kinda like an RPG also has me super interested. I'm honestly surprised I haven't seen too many other devs give a shot at a Warioware styled game, only other one I know of is the horror themed Spookware.
