The goal of Space Waves is not for players to finish every level right away. Rather, with constant practice, the game pushes individuals to progressively find their strengths. Players gain fresh knowledge about the level or enhance a minor area of their controls after each failure. After dozens of trials, these gains become noticeable, even if they may not be noticeable at first. Players start to respond more quickly, read the terrain better, and deal with challenging circumstances with more assurance. Most significantly, this sense of advancement is a result of real skill improvement rather just power statistics. Because they are aware that every time they start again, they have the opportunity to become a better version of themselves, Space Waves constantly encourages players to keep trying.
