5	''Woah Dave!'' (sic) is a one-screen platformer in the vein of ''VideoGame/MarioBros'', created by Choice Provisions of ''VideoGame/BitTrip'' fame. The protagonist, Dave Lonuts, is tasked with fighting an [[EndlessGame endless army]] of aliens that drop out of the sky in eggs. Dave must do so by picking up and throwing skull bombs, the coveted Woah Block, or even other eggs at hatched aliens. If an alien crawls into the lava at the bottom of the screen, it will "evolve" into a more dangerous enemy that yields more pennies.

10	----
11	!! ''Woah Dave!'' contains examples of:
12	%%* ActionBomb: Occasionally, an egg will be black instead of green, leading to one of these being hatched. If killed before it reaches the lava, it drops a bunch of coins.
13	%%* AlienInvasion: Dave is trying to stop one. Given the [[EndlessGame nature]] of the game, [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption he shan't succeed]].
14	* CharacterTitle: Yup, the hero's name is Dave. Not "Woah Dave", just "Dave".
15	%%* EndlessGame: In the style of [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfVideoGames golden age games]].
16	%%* FlyingSaucer: These show up after a while in Normal difficulty, and immediately in Bonkers.
17	* IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels: The two difficulty levels are Normal [[NintendoHard ("If you wanna call it that")]] and Bonkers.
18	%%* JumpPhysics: Dave can turn around in midair.
19	* ScoringPoints: The only goal of the game is to obtain as many "pennies" as possible.
20	* ThroughTheEyesOfMadness: Implied; whenever Dave loses his last life, the stage reverts to its original lava-free state, and all the "aliens" turn into members of Dave's species.
21	* TitleDrop: An announcer says "Woah Dave!" whenever a Woah Block is picked up.
