I nearly make an orbit - good game ;)

graphics are very good, especially the waves :-) I didn't really get the controls right: sometimes I jumped hundreds of meters high, sometimes only half a meter or so.

Another Surf Ace game? How can I say no!

Pretty fun! No idea how I'm supposed to make a good wave, but I got to a height of like 300 so there's that :P

Nice audio and graphics, too.

Overall, I'd give it a rating of: Gnarly!

Really nice play on the theme and quite fun to play, plus looks awesome.

Woulda liked more tricks but of course we all have time constraints ;)

Pretty fun, no matter what I did I didn't seem to be scoring anything, and the physics & controls were a bit fiddly.
Other than that, nice game.

A very nice Game and a very very great interpretation of the Ludum-theme. Unfortunately I did not understand how to get any points (may be I play to seldom games).

AWESOME! Fun game, good graphics, creative use of the theme. I loved it!!

Awesome graphics!

Really great job. The wave mechanic is a lot of fun and getting mad air time feels great. The announcer was a bit jarring though.

Overall really cool. And thanks for providing a Linux binary. It worked flawlessly (Arch Linux x86)

Pretty fun, but the control was a little difficult with keyboard

Radical game! I'm into the art style for sure, gameplay felt a bit slow at times though. I was using a keyboard, though, I might give it another go with a controller later.

Awesome. You made the same pun as us!

blazingfanfish 2014-04-29 14:38

Great game! Also it's pretty funny :)

xaychru04 2014-04-29 16:56

Haha I like how you used the theme, really nice idea! The graphisms are cool, the music too, I enjoyed it a lot! :]

Had trouble mastering the controls, but did pull of a few tricks. I really liked the animation of the character and the waves. The idea was great, and the game felt polished.

dejant 2014-04-29 20:58

Nice graphics!

snowflower 2014-04-29 21:21

very cool, love the name of the game haha.
It took me a few playthroughs to get the hang of making waves to get a ton of air and score points.

brotherst 2014-04-30 02:59

haha. had to check out one of these surf ace games and I wasn't dissapointed. didn't quite get exactly what up and down did to the waves. if anything it seemed like they were the wrong way round. nice game!

edibletoaster 2014-04-30 07:28

Nice theme interpretation. Looks pretty cool. I sucked at the game but it was pretty amusing

2014-04-30 16:36

Nice game! Had a great time playing it :)

icereci 2014-05-03 11:34

Very well done. Looks quite polished and was pretty fun to play too.

lyje 2014-05-04 15:46

Found it quite hard to do the tricks in time! Love the theme though :P

mrblade 2014-05-04 16:49

Really fun an interesting game. The sounds are nice, art is good, and the gameplay is solid. I really liked seeing my waves being created as I made them. I found this game hard to play with a keyboard, but it was quite fun and easy with a controller. Good work!

radmars 2014-05-04 20:42

Awesome! Reminds me of Skate or California Games :D

kddekadenz 2014-05-04 22:40

This game made me rage quit ...
I failed hard to get any points. Loopings didn't brings score and when doing a trick using 1, 2 or 3 he didn't get back on board.

I'm sure it is cool once you get the hang out of it and I really like graphics and sound, but otherwise it just is frustrating.

recursor 2014-05-11 21:59

I never could get any points. Still, it was pretty fun. Nice job.

romko_pidstryhach 2014-05-11 22:25

Really fun game.

phocker 2014-05-16 00:51

fun game but I never get a score - awesome game - adding to my foavorites
