How does your game follow the theme?
My game follow the theme Wave because its about a surfboard riding a wave.

Did you use any pre-made assets? If so, credit them here:
the music was form here https://pixabay.com/music/upbeat-game-music-player-console-8bit-background-intro-theme-297305/ but other than that all of it was made by me and the help of a friend.

Simple and fun, pixel art is great as well. Would probably make the player hurtbox a bit more lenient/not tilt it with the sprite.

I like the idea and game is fun! And I want to feel kind of progression over time - from rare people and rare sharks to crowded places and shark bays. ๐Ÿ˜€

Fun game. I like how it's a bit challenging to survive for a long time. I like the pixel art!

Congrats managing to make a hyper-casual game. Even if it's simple, the result is playable and bug-free. No worries about the green hair color. :)

However I'd like to point out some downsides too. For instance, the game starts difficult, too many obstacles to dodge and phasing is fast. I'd suggest starting slow first and gradually increase speed until max speed, same as obstacles spawn frequency.

My highscore is 89.

Good entry! it plays good, it is fun, works as intended, and you can expand on it! you can add upgrades for example with the coins you get.

Hello fellow surfer!
Very nice try! I liked the combination of the beat with the sleek movement.
I read the description and you mentioned a part "There's not much more", and I felt a discouraging tone. There are ways to add more with little work. For example, you could have a coin counter, and for every X coins to increase the surfer's speed. Or unlock an ability that makes him immune for the next hit. So, next time, when you feel that the game need something "more", try to think of something simple to implement, like the example I mentioned above.
