One of the top games from the Eurogamer Expo Indie Arcade was Squid in a Box’s Waves, and unreal engine powered twin stick shooter. You can catch my impressions from the expo here, and my interview with designer Rob Hale here. But you probably don’t need to, since thanks to the magical technology of a free demo, you can try the game for yourself. Go and grab the demo for yourself over here.

The demo gives you a taste of the Crunch Time game mode: You’ve got unlimited lives, but just three minutes to kill as many baddies as you can. I got 254,731 on my first go, but you can be sure I’m going to go back and beat that later.

It’s great that there’s a free demo for this, since you really need to see the level of polish and witness how slick everything is for yourself to really appreciate it.

Why not have a look at this trailer whilst the demo is downloading.

The full version of Waves should be available “soon”.
