Wavedash makes me wish I was back in my games creation days. I don't how to explain it. Such an incredible, nostalgic product - and the founding team is even better ;)
Very cool. I worked on similar tech in the first startup I joined 2009-2010.
What's not 100% clear to me: What's the primary use case? I'm not sure hardcore gamers mind downloading games and most tend to sink their time into one or two games at a time for several weeks/months. And casual players are primarily mobile, downloading via the App Store.
Love the idea but how exactly can we play "any" game, will there be store by you guys or i can access any game ?
Say for example the new game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, how do i play it on this platform ?
Wavedash makes gaming super easy—just jump in and play awesome games right in your browser, no downloads or installs needed. Instant fun, zero hassle!
