Skip intro with 'S'.
Why would you skip the intro? :p love the music and style! Made me laugh out loud when he takes his sun glasses off!
That was just fun and hilarious and the best use of the theme
I wanted to skip the intro because I wanted to try the game again :)
"S" saved the day. Awesome music sir!
Best wtf game of LD29 this far xD
Five stars for the use of theme. :D Ben is such a bad ass.
Really interesting to see how many people have a similar idea. I guess this is like the third surfig game I've seen. And yours is just as great. Really like the art.
Good music, that man is awesome.
Good jump, fellow surf ace!
Not much gameplay wise, but humorous and decent music. Radical!
Never have i experienced something more tense than those last 15 seconds of Ben Eath the Surf Ace very very slowly approaching the boat.
@Lars: haha, sorry about that. I knew it was impossible to react to something thrown from just a few pixels away, but I didn't have time to implement a good solution, so my fix was, not having anything thrown within a certain distance from the boat. But now Ben is going with 3 pixels per second and nothing happens until you reach the boat.
I'll make a fix for that I think.
After waiting 15 seconds before i finally meet the manliest Ben.
Hah. Ben is hilarious!
Let me start by saying you've done an amazing soundtrack!
Your graphics are decent, consistent, and suit the humorous vibe of the game.
Mechanics-wise it's not the most original game in the competition, but I suppose that wasn't your intention ;)
Good job!
Really enjoyed it. Great work. Clever play on the theme too
I wish I could be part time surfer, full time cool dude.
Graphics, music and humor are great!
Well, the gameplay isn't that new, but it works.
Haha, fun to play, love the quirky music and sound and grafix, neat! Great intro and outro :)
Nice Game. Would love to see another Ben Eath adventure. :)
Great musical score, nice art as usual and a nice short game to waste your time on :)
Love the graphics and the intro! Audiodesign is also great! ^^
Hahaha, great!
Great graphics and a very funny ending!
Mustache and hairy chest, the only way to roll!
Yeah the theme was totally asking for it ;D
I rofld the first time the dodging sound effect played.
And epic 70's audio!
Timing your move is a bit hard, so the lack of a retry button is a bit disapointing, but the overall tone of the game makes up for it
Wow...just...amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed this! It would be nice to have a way to retry, though, without having to refresh.
Okay, I'll give you extra points just for style. Short, fun little game with a really silly vibe and more humor than you can shake a Cool Dude at. No replay value, but still pretty fun for something made in a day. :)
Simple but really great ! GG !
Cool game, a bit short! I loved the music, very fitting to the surf vibe...! ;)
Great game with hilarious ending. I like the story, the graphics, the audio and everything else about your game. It's simple but the story and the presentation makes it fun to play. You even managed to build up tension right before Ben reaches the boat. I noticed a bug in the game, if you press the down key right after ben is on the surfboard, you immediately lose. And your instructions say to use the down key for the bombs and the up key for the knives, but I think it's the other way around. Overall a great game, sadly a bit short.
I'm kind of amazed that 4 other games used the same gag interpretation of the theme. Pretty clever anyway.
Endearing audio & voice work. Gameplay is perhaps a bit basic.
that was kool - nice hairy surfer dud
