We've been hard at work on the first of two updates we had planned for Alpha Wave. The first update brings in a new enemy or two (maybe three). New weapons. New power-ups AND most importantly changes the control scheme to make it easier to control the ship. While the method of moving the ship by sliding your finger worked it made it hard to see the ship especially when it would get hit by something. Also, we've had numerous reports of fingers getting tired or sweating and then skipping across the screen! This new method will help greatly from what early testing shows.
The other things of note is that both the trial and full version's are available on Bada and we just put a version for Android on the Amazon App Store. Click on over to the Alpha Wave page for appropriate linkage.
We are pleased to announce two releases on the same day!
Alpha Wave is now readily available for all major iOS devices including iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, iPad 1/2, iPod Touch 3rd gen 16gb and 4th gen. You can get it on the App Store.
If you have yourself a shiny new Playbook, head on over to the Blackberry App World.
Alpha Wave is now available for your Android device! Kill that annoying time waiting for your transportation to bring you home for the holidays!
We are pleased to announce that our premier launch title is finally completed and will soon be ready for you to download. We are uploading to the Android Marketplace first. Stay tuned for launch information as we have it for you!
Ahh that glorious time has come! After quite a few iterations, and game
play testing, we Hardliners are happy to announce that Alpha Wave has finally hit the beta stage! Quite a few things have changed between the last shots you saw and what is going into the final version.
First off, we had decided to nix the other two levels and bringing all assets into one level which means a hell of a lot more game play in one place as opposed to spreading it across 3 different levels. We plan on releasing updates in the future to add a few more goodies so stayed tuned for that. We've brought in new enemy known as the swooper and also brought in the singularity bomb to help you out when things get crazy... and once you hit wave 20... they WILL start getting crazy!
We are on the last legs of our todo list and should have the game out in the various marketplaces by end of October! There will be multiple updates coming when it's finally go time so stay tuned!
In the mean time, check out the new screen shots.
We have been hard at work here and finally the time was ripe to do full update on what's been going on! The original version of Alpha Wave which was targeted for the Nokia N8 and the Calling all Innovators competition has come and gone. Since then, we've radically re-vamped the game into multiple levels and added a bunch of new entities to battle along with a ton of new special effects, achievements, high score tracker and a lot more intense gameplay.
We still have a bit more work to do but we can say the game is about 88.2117% completed. We've had our beta testers give us some very good feed back and it's given us the chance to sculpt the game into something bigger and better than we had originally conceived. We feel Alpha Wave should give you a longer lasting rush than what that $2.25 over priced cafe-latte will provide you with! :)
Alpha Wave will ship on iOS, Android, WebOS, Bada and Nokia^3. On all platforms there will be a free demo (lite) version of the game as well as the purchasable (ZERO ADS) version. We've also made it so that the game will play on both low and high end devices with the difference being more special effects should your phone have the power to support it. So far, we've tested it with great results across many devices!

After the first week on the Nokia Ovi store, the response has been very positive! A big thank you to all the 8500 people who downloaded our game and gave us such good reviews! I wouldn't be making games if it wasn't for you people who thoroughly enjoy them! Let me know what your highest score was! So far, I've yet to see anyone pass 1,600,000! :)
We are pleased to announce that Alpha Wave has passed QA and is now available as a free download on Nokia's Ovi storefront. The N8 version had to be modified a little due to time constraints of getting it done by the competition deadline but the FULL version will have a slew of new features and lots and lots of things to blow up AND will be coming out for iOS, Android, Bada and Palm devices!
The game was targetted for the Nokia N8 but SHOULD work with the C7, T7 and X7. Head to the Ovi Store and hook yourself up!
Hardline Studios is pleased to announce its first game - Alpha Wave. Alpha Wave is going to initially target the Nokia N8 for the “Calling all Developers” competition with rollouts coming to the iPhone 3G/3GS/4G, Android 1.6+, Bada 1/2 and Palm Pre/Pix/2 devices in the next several weeks.
