“For those who enjoy arcade-style games, and I'm talking original Mario Bros. style, Woah Dave is a must, it's a great game to sink a lot of time into again and again.”

“To stop the eggs from hatching, you can pick them up and throw them next to a skull. When the skull blows up, it'll take the egg with it along with whatever wee nasty was inside.Or you could approach from the other direction, by quickly grabbing a fresh skull and chucking it at an egg before its fuse runs out.Throwing either at a hatched creature dispatches it, although your aim must be true as these things don't stand still for long. All are useful tactics for keeping Dave alive, so long as you're clear of the blast when you choose to chuck a skull.It's here that the game reveals its real depth. You’ll constantly flip back and forth between strategies, thinking that throwing eggs is the most effective method before deciding that skulls are the better choice.The more Woah Dave! keeps you on the edge in this manner, the more furious the game becomes. And before you know it you're horribly addicted to a game that should be way too simple to solicit this kind of devotion.Retro fanatics out there might also be interested to know that there are also strong flavours of games like Bomb Jack and Joust here, but that doesn't mean Woah Dave! is for big pixel lovers only.It's a game that offers intense action and aggravating levels of just-one-more-go-ness, and that means it has something for everyone.”

“The game has the inherent long term replayability question with any endless arcade game. Woah Dave! does give you a Bonkers mode to strive for by collecting 150 pennies in a single game, and that’s quite a challenge to keep you coming back. That’s the only unlockable though, leaving the same game mode, and style each time out. It’s engaging at the beginning, but when that wanes you don’t have much to come back to. The core concept is well done, but it is still a bit on the simple side with a familiar approach. The game does include a great retro art style, and soundtrack to add to the arcade flavor.”

“Whoa Dave! is intensely engaging. The action starts off slowly, but doesn’t take its time in ramping up and thrusting the player into a world of hungry mutants and constant egg-rain. There is hope: The “Whoa!” block that falls from the ceiling on occasion lets players ice everything on-screen in a single move. It feels oh-so good to lob that sucker and collect the coins left behind.Fans of chaotic arcade games shouldn’t leave Dave behind, though. He’s a good pal.”
