Overview

One More Wave is a free-to-play 2D side-scrolling shooter from indie developer Bilboldev, released on October 12, 2026. The game drops you into a colorful arcade battlefield where waves of enemy planes, UFOs, and oversized bosses fill the sky.

You pick a loadout, grab crates while flying, and use your plane's Ace ability to survive increasingly crowded encounters. The core loop is simple: dodge, shoot, and see if you can make it through just one more wave.

Highlights

  • Co-op play: Fly solo or team up with a friend via local or online co-op. Cover each other, chase high scores, and coordinate Ace abilities.
  • Free base content: The Stunt Plane is free, with all waves and enemies included. An optional DLC, Three More Planes, adds three additional aircraft, each with unique stats and Ace abilities.
  • Arcade-style action: Fast-paced, colorful 2D shooting with a focus on dodging and quick reflexes. The game supports single-player and multiplayer modes.

Who It's For

If you enjoy classic shoot 'em ups with a modern co-op twist, One More Wave is worth a look. It's ideal for casual players who want quick pick-up-and-play sessions, as well as friends looking for a shared challenge.

The free-to-play model means you can jump in without commitment, and the optional DLC offers more variety for those who want it.
