New Languages

The demo now supports three new languages: German, French, and Spanish. The mobile version supports these languages too, so you can play everywhere in your preferred language.

Supported Platforms

The Steam version supports Windows, macOS, and Linux (Steam Deck). On Steam Deck, Monkey Wave runs smoothly with full controller support and a handheld-friendly interface.

Steam Next Fest

The demo is part of Steam Next Fest, so you can jump in during the festival and share your feedback right away. Wishlist the game, revisit the demo that week, and tell me what you want most in the full release.

During Next Fest I'm focused on stability, performance, and balance. Your feedback helps me prioritize the final polish before launch.

The Full Release

This is just the beginning. The full version of Monkey Wave launches this summer with more levels, extra cosmetic content, and new goals to chase. The Steam version launches alongside a major new update.

The full release stays fully compatible with the mobile version. Your demo progress carries over into the full game, and all content that is already available on mobile will be included from day one.

PC-exclusive features remain exclusive to the PC version. I'll keep updating the demo so you can get a sneak peek of what's coming. Keep an eye on the news page for the exact release date and more reveals.

Thank you to all players for your support and feedback. You make Monkey Wave better with every run!
