Game description
Try not to wipeout and go for the high score
Theme interpretation
I went with an obvious approach and made it a surfing game.

Excellent surfing game! The water physics is not the most realistic but who cares. I hate sea gulls.
thanks for playing
Fun game that reminds me of Hill Climb Racing but with a surfing dude. I like the artwork style.
i played that game when I was smaller that was the inspiration
I Love those simple yet very well implemented ideas! Felt like those old flash games from the 2000's. Is so nice just flipping around and landing smoothly on water and bouncing back to the air! Getting higher and higher speeds adds a lot to the game loop too. Very cool idea and very cool game you made!
death sounds best.
also - may i know algo you used to make these waves? is a cool one…
The waves are made by doing a sine wave segment where I can change the frequency and amplitude in my script and I loop lots of segments together to make the waves look more random. You can check the github if you want
The physics simulation is really fun to bounce off of - I had a great time with this one!
thanks badmojoverybad!
cool game, makes really fun,
are the Waves dynamicly generated?
yeah they're sine waves
Great fun, I love a good score chaser. The art and audio are simple but consistent and suit the style of game.
thanks for playing :)
A fun game and the splash of waves is cool!
Very fun little game, I laughed out loud after I’d wiped out and my surf board when sailing through the air to clobber a seagull. Nice work!
thanks for playing pooglies :)
Super simple game. Could have a little more variation, but fun nonetheless.
Thanks for the feedback! :) I'll try and add some more variation
Too many seagulls, I could never reach 29000 man its been a solid hour. Neat game tho made me waste an hour. Reminds me of old flash rage games which also cost me hours of my time.
Wow that's my high score! Great job thanks for playing. I'll tune down the amount of seagulls for the future
Love the animations, the game is simple and cute! Could go with some music tho! Gratz.

Yeah good suggestion thanks for playing!
This is pretty fun, the art style you went with fits the arcadey feel. It'd be cool if you have some music playing at the same time that ramps up the further you go. There's a slight bug where if you hit a power up after you died the game will crash. Good entry, congrats.
Yeah I've hit that bug but I didn't know what was causing it. I'll fix it in the future thanks.
The game is entertaining, I like it, but I see a lack of expression in the character.
thanks for the feedback! I'll make some animations for him
The art has a real charm to it. Very reminiscent of old flash games!
thanks for playing
