Doom Waves is an arcade game where you guide an arrow through a series of obstacle courses. Walls, sharp spikes, and spinning gears stand in the way, and even a small collision can ruin your run. There are 33 levels to choose from, ranging from fairly open paths to much tighter sections. You can pick a stage that suits your skill instead of having to clear them in order. The game runs directly in your browser without a separate client to install.
The arrow moves forward automatically, and you control its vertical movement. Hold the mouse button or a keyboard key to make it rise, then release to let it drop. Keep an eye on the gaps and find a safe line through each obstacle. Reach the end of a level without hitting anything to complete it.
The controls take little time to understand, but the later stages can be demanding. Some turns come up quickly, and narrow passages leave very little space to correct a mistake.
