About
Elodie Major has been running a little indie radio station called Airwave Radio with her friend Zak for 5 years now, and they've manage to win a strong following amongst the people of the small town of Wave.
Recently, however, they've found themselves under pressure from mainstream record labels to play their music, and have resisted quite forcefully, but they haven't seen an end to this attempted interference just yet...
This is the first part in the ~airwave~ series of games.

AGS Panel Rating
An indie music lover's wet dream - complete with a long and very authentic sounding radio broadcast delivered live in one of Ben Chandler's most interesting fictional realities.
Nevertheless, some weak puzzles and lack of conclusion to the story (supposed to be just the first episode) put this game's rating down.

Gosh, one day I might actually do this on time! I have little choice but to choose Ben304s latest outing. It's been a while since a standalone 304 game so it was refreshing to see him back on the top games list.

Great fun--and it ends on a cliffhanger! I trust the sequel's just a long time coming...? All of the characters you're meant to like are very likeable, the story is unique (truly one-of-a-kind), and even if some of the music wasn't what I'd normally listen to, it really set the atmosphere, which is at once otherwordly, funny, poppy, gritty. I found the puzzles to be balanced and only got properly stuck towards the end of the one with the mayor, which had to be triggered by an action chronologically. I think I need to refill my adverb/adjective bank now. Where oh where is the sequel (forgot the subtitle of it...)? Please tell us it's been accumulating six years of inspiration and at least occasional contribution? Oh yes! Graphics and animations are fabulous. Guess my bank had one more left. Thanks, ladies and gents.
Not much I can add to the other comments beyond: largely agreed. :-)
nice themes, funny dialogue and good puzzles. The soundtrack is extremely enjoyable and the dj is hilarious.
Worth of every minute. And actually a tribute to indie music.
This is a really great game.
