Play Wavedash games on Steam Deck.
Wavedash is a browser-native game distribution platform. Games are built on WebAssembly and WebGPU and run instantly with no downloads, installs, or patches. This app brings the Wavedash catalog to Steam Deck in a controller-first layout so you can pick up a game and play in seconds.
Every game on Wavedash is free to play, with optional in-game unlockable content. Your library, saves, and purchases follow your Wavedash account, so a game you start on your laptop picks up right where you left it on your Deck.
Download Wavedash 0.2.0 for Steam Deck
Built releases for Linux x86_64, checksums, screenshots and packaging files are available on the Releases page. Wavedash is not listed on Flathub yet; submission is being prepared. This is the public distribution repository; Wavedash's development repository is private. Wavedash is proprietary software. Electron and Chromium license notices are included in the application archive and installed Flatpak.
In Desktop Mode, download the .flatpak bundle from a release and open it with
Discover. After installation, open Steam, choose Games → Add a Non-Steam Game
to My Library, and select Wavedash. Return to Gaming Mode and launch it from
your library. A Gamepad with Joystick Trackpad Steam Input layout provides
controller input and pointer control.
The release's Linux archive also includes the Wavedash Steam artwork, controller
profile and optional setup helpers. After extracting it, run
bash scripts/setup-steam.sh --no-open-steam from the extracted directory to
install those assets for the installed Flatpak. Close Steam before running the
helper if you want it to update an existing shortcut's icon.
The app ID is com.wavedash.WavedashDeck.
Until Flathub publication, install a newer release's Flatpak bundle to update. Updating the app preserves your Wavedash account session and local settings.
