    It's simply a joy to play.

    Woah Dave! Is a stellar example of how simple systems can combine to create incredibly tense and satisfying gameplay. While the package doesn't contain oodles of content, high score hounds are likely to find hours of fun exploring this utterly elegant experience.

    Not as woah-ful as the screenshots make it look. [March 2015, p79]

    Dave will eagerly steal 10 or 15 minutes from you here and there, and as a palate cleanser between longer games, it excels. But the climb back to the late-game point at which you bought the farm? It's more bummer than woah.

    Whilst it doesn't look like very much, there is something very charming and ultimately quite addictive here. It won't last you forever, and it's incredibly frustrating but if it catches you, you won't be able to stop, at least for a little while.

    Woah Dave! is the kind of game that leaves me bummed out not because it’s bad, but because I want to like it. I see what it’s trying to do and I want to like it more than I do. I’m just not having fun playing it.

    Horrible graphics, no
    I spent 1 hour trying to understand what is funny in this game and my conclusion was that the game is just a joke.

    Horrible graphics, no history, bad sound, very old gameplay style, bad control... Even it was hard to understand which "squares" were enemies or friends.

    Actually, I didn't find anything good in this game. One of the worst game I ever played.
    I don't understand the critic reviews. It s a very bad retro game.

    Your going to hate this game at first. It takes a little time to get used to non standard game conventions like auto picking up everything andYour going to hate this game at first. It takes a little time to get used to non standard game conventions like auto picking up everything and nothing is explained. Deaths will seemingly come out of nowhere but there is actually reasoning for things that are happening that you will learn after time. Almost gave the game up early but now I am addicted. For free everyone should give it 20 minutes on it. Nothing else here but the base score chasing game but can't beat the price. Full Review »
