SteamAbout SLICKWAVE
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.
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.

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.
