Escape Wave - Roblox Escape-the-Wave Game Template

A complete escape-the-wave game for Roblox. Insert one file into ServerScriptService and one into StarterGui, press Play, and you have a working game to customize and publish.

The game

• A wave on a timer: 45 calm seconds, a 10-second warning with beeps and a red countdown, then a wall of water sweeps the whole track toward the bases. Anyone it catches loses what they carry
• 12 shelters in the track's walls, plus your own base: get to one before the wave does
• 16 creatures in 7 rarities, from Common to Secret, across 7 zones: the farther out, the rarer. Any creature can roll Golden, Diamond or Shadow (2x, 4x and 8x the money)
• Carry them home: creatures stack on your back and slow you down, so every run is a race against the clock
• Creatures on your base's slots earn money every second. It piles up in your bank until you step on the Collect pad
• Speed and Carry upgrades, selling, and rebirths that boost income and add slots
• 8 bases and a 1,000-stud track with scenery in every zone, built automatically, so it works in an empty Baseplate
• Works on phones, tablets and PCs

Already wired in

• Saving with session locking. Everything a player owns is in one save, and creatures being carried are never saved, so a crash can cost a run but can never copy a creature
• Robux shop with VIP, Double Money, Fast Feet, Big Backpack and Extra Slots passes, plus money packs
• Daily rewards with a 7-day streak, plus redeemable codes
• Richest and Most Rebirths leaderboards across all servers
• All the screens: the wave countdown and alerts, what you carry, the bank, upgrades, rebirth and the sell question, plus the shop, daily rewards, codes, ranks, settings and the money counter

Easy to make your own

• The wave's timing and speed, the zones, rarities, income, mutations, upgrades and rebirths are all in one Config
• Add a creature with one line. Every creature is built from parts in code, so nothing needs uploading
• Build your own map: tag your base floors, zones and shelters and the game uses them
• Drop your own creature models into ReplicatedStorage > CreatureModels and they replace the built-in ones (the names match our Glossy Meme Creatures pack)

Built to be safe

• The server decides everything: distance checks, rate limits and a teleport guard on every pick-up, sell and collect
• The wave runs on the server's clock, and every screen draws it with the server's own sums, so what players see is what the server checks
• Purchases are recorded so nobody gets a reward twice
• Readable, commented code with no obfuscation and no remote loading
• Covered by 644 automated tests (315 server, 329 screens), plus the bundled kits' own suites

What's in the download

• EscapeWave.rbxmx for ServerScriptService and EscapeWaveUI.rbxmx for StarterGui
• Every script as a plain file, for Rojo users
• A setup guide (about 5 minutes) and preview pictures

Note on looks: the creatures and the map are built from Roblox parts in code, so there's nothing to upload and it works right away. For a more polished look, add meshes (our Glossy Meme Creatures pack drops straight in) or your own models.

The preview pictures are Blender renders and layout previews drawn outside Roblox; real Studio screenshots are coming.

New in v1.0.3: a click on a window's empty space no longer closes it; a click on the dark background around it still does. The Daily window switches to Day 1 the moment a missed day breaks the streak, even mid-session. Settings keeps every switch, however fast you click. In Studio, buying an offer that has no ID yet always says so, even with Popups off. The swap code says to press Ctrl+Enter or click Run.

New in v1.0.1: The screens' 7 images and 4 sounds ship as files, with one-paste Command Bar code that swaps in your own uploads (v1.0.1).

Includes EscapeWave_v1.0.3.zip (4.78 MB): EscapeWave.rbxmx and EscapeWaveUI.rbxmx, every script as a plain file for Rojo, a setup guide and preview pictures.

The code was written with an AI assistant and covered by automated tests. The preview pictures were made by scripts (Blender renders and HTML layouts); no AI image generators.
