About This Game

The Moonlit Observatory is breaking apart — and every wave is worse than the last.

SLICKWAVE is a hand-painted top-down action roguelite built around focused 15-minute runs. Guide the Moonbound Mage through 14 escalating waves, shape a new spell build on the fly, and defeat the guardian waiting at the heart of the Observatory.

SURVIVE A SCREEN-FILLING SPELLSTORM

Enemies attack from every direction while your arsenal grows from a few careful shots into a storm of missiles, meteors, auras, wards, lances, traps, and explosive arcane effects. Keep moving, read dangerous telegraphs, and turn the entire arena into your weapon.

• 14 escalating waves with rising enemy density and new threats.
• Fast 15-minute runs built for immediate action and one-more-run momentum.
• Automatic or manual aiming — let spells find targets or take precise control while moving.
• A final guardian battle that tests the build you created.

BUILD YOUR OWN ARCANE ENGINE

Choose from nine active spells and carry up to six at once. Every level forces a real decision: raw damage, crowd control, defense, mobility, or the missing piece of a larger synergy.

• Choose one of two behavior-changing branches at Level III.
• Pair Level V spells with the right relics to unlock powerful evolutions.
• Carry up to three relics that reshape the strengths of your build.
• Spend Fate Shards to reroll rewards when a run refuses to cooperate.

LEARN THE OBSERVATORY. BREAK THE NEXT RUN.

Earn Essence in battle and invest it in permanent upgrades between attempts. Study discovered skills, relics, and enemies in the Moonlit Codex, review your run history, and return with a better plan.

A HAND-PAINTED MOONLIT WORLD

Between runs, return to the Observatory hub: prepare for the next descent, inspect your discoveries, and choose the next goal for your growing archive.

ONE MAGE. FOURTEEN WAVES. COUNTLESS BUILDS.

Every run begins small. Every great build ends as a tidal wave.
