Escape the Wave: every wave, event and rebirth
· 2 min read · Escape the Wave
The wave is your main enemy in Escape the Wave. Each world has its own waves: some just wash you away, others leave traps behind. Here's every one.
The game is still in development; numbers may change before release.
Four kinds of waves
- Regular — washes away anyone on the open track. Hide in the side shelters.
- Lava — washes you away and leaves lava puddles you can't run through for a while.
- Ice — washes you away and makes the floor slippery, so it's easy to overshoot a shelter on turns.
- Golden — harmless! It leaves coins behind that you collect by touch. Chase it.
Waves by world
| World | Waves |
|---|---|
| Beach 🏖 | Wave, Fast Wave, MEGA WAVE, Ice Wave, GOLDEN WAVE |
| Volcano 🌋 | Lava Wave, Eruption, ASH MEGA WAVE, GOLDEN LAVA |
| Glacier 🧊 | Avalanche, Blizzard, Ice Wave, GOLDEN SNOWFALL |
Mega waves are the fastest. If one shows up on the board and you're far from a shelter, drop the chase.
Obstacles
- The Volcano track has lava pits you need to jump over.
- The Glacier floor is always slippery, and ice walls block the path.

Rebirth
A rebirth resets your coins but gives +50% coins forever for each one and unlocks new worlds: the Volcano after the first, the Glacier after the third. The first costs 1.5 million coins, each next one 4 times more. The first rebirth usually takes about 40 minutes of play, the Glacier about two hours.
Daily reward
You can claim it every 20 hours. It grows with your streak: 1,000 → 2,500 → 5,000 → 10,000 → 20,000 → 35,000 → 60,000 coins. Miss more than 48 hours and the streak starts over.
All creatures and mutations are listed in Every creature, rarity and mutation.
