Overview
Woah Dave! is an arcade style action game developed and published by Choice Provisions (under the MiniVisions name). The game was initially released on the Nintendo 3DS, PC and iOS platforms before later coming to the PlayStation Vita, PlayStation 4, Wii U and Apple TV.
Gameplay
The gameplay occurs on a single screen where players control the titular character Dave Lonuts. The goal of the game is for the player to collect as many coins as possible within the three lives allocated at the start of a round.
Coins dropped for collection by the player through defeating enemies. Monsters are defeated through either throwing eggs or red skulls at enemies although holding onto an egg or skull for too long will kill the player. Should the player fail to kill a monster before it reaches the lava located at the bottom of the screen then the monster evolves and more coins are awarded for killing them in their evolved form. Sporadically a "WOAH" block will appear which acts as a screen clear that destroys all enemies and red skulls currently on the screen.
