Hey drivers!

If you enjoy running DriveWave alongside your daily routine, you might like what I have been working on. Two new Dumbbell Games titles are part of Steam Next Fest February 2026 and both demos are live right now.

Wartide

Tower defense meets idle game on your desktop. Enemies attack your base from all directions. Deploy infantry, armor, and air support to hold the line while you work or browse. Upgrade between waves, unlock permanent bonuses, and let the battle run in the background.

Coin Harvest

Idle coin collector that sits on your desktop. Robotic arms grab coins, you unlock islands and discover new powers to push further. Every island brings new abilities, every upgrade opens new strategies.

Both are built with the same idea behind DriveWave. Small window, low footprint, designed to play alongside whatever else you have going on. Demos are available until March 2.

Thank you for playing DriveWave. More updates coming soon.

See you soon!

I've been going through the driving physics for weeks because the cars felt heavy and dead in a way I couldn't put my finger on. Turns out every drivable car in the game was sitting with its suspension completely bottomed out. Not stiff. Not badly tuned. Zero travel left. The springs had nowhere to go, so the car physically co…Major update17 Jul 2026DriveWave v1.5.220 - The One Where Your Rims Hit the MarketHey everyone, This is one of the biggest updates since launch.
