Good work! Original take on the theme, okay graphics, nice sounds! Keep it up!

OK, this time the Unity web engine worked, but only on Firefox.
You opening picture is great, also the take on the theme. And there's also a nice array of obstacles .
With the music it gives the game a nice old style arcade game feel.

Yeah, I don't know why the Unity player only works in Firefox...I might just release some other builds to download.

I'm glad you like the opening picture. It's probably the best piece of art I've ever made :P

Hahaha, totally original and well done! (Surf-ace, I get it :) )

this was pretty enjoyable GG

pietro-ferrantelli 2014-04-28 15:22

Well done ! I really enjoy playing it ! Congratulations :)

nice game! I like the humor, and the twist of being the board. The soundtrack was great. A little back story on the board would have been nice, because while it was in your comment, I read it as " you are a surfboardER". I spent a minute looking for the ace, haha.

The gameplay was pretty good, but I wish there was a little more variation. The graphics could use some work, but the audio was good. The music fit the setting :)

Never played as a surf board before. Fun take on the theme.

littleball 2014-04-28 20:34

I like the idea that you don't play the surfer! Well done

joao-kucera 2014-04-28 20:55

Well done!

I didn't get the sound.

I loved this concept, very clever, gave me a good laugh. Solid game, I think your biggest setback is your graphics. Pick something a little more legible for your smaller font. For your title screen, that fancy font is awesome, but I struggled reading the smaller stuff. I see no fault with your audio and game play, great work there.

Enjoyable and humorous little game. The music is very.. soothing :D

I didn't read the description at first, so I had an 'aha' moment after I saw the surfboard moving around on it's own. I like it.

matt_j 2014-04-29 13:51

I see what you did there.

curiousexpedition 2014-04-29 15:16

Liked the idea of having to control the surf board instead of the guy. Especially funny when the guy has fallen off and you still move around. :)

seme 2014-04-29 17:53

Nice instructions, nice controls, funny music, proper difficulty. Well Done! :)

mekuri 2014-04-29 18:33

Nice idea. I like that you had to balance sacrificing your own health vs the surf ace's. Since your health aren't refreshed from level to level it all comes down to avoiding obstacles and only hitting the rocks and the seagulls, which, in my opinion, reduces the game to a standard "dodge the obstacles" game, since you can't really afford to hit the reefs and such. - But all in all a great idea, and a fun use of the theme!

oddly-shaped-pixels 2014-04-29 19:31

Super idea it's really fun and original. Congrats!

marcus_siactro 2014-04-29 19:31

Wow that was a really smooth game. I liked it.

szrapnel 2014-04-29 19:41

Funny little game :)

linuus 2014-04-29 19:55

HAha, I love how you play the board! And the graphics are charming! :)

dmcfarline 2014-04-29 20:03

Honestly didn't look at the instructions before playing, once the actual objective dawned on me I was pleasantly surprised! nice twist

pkenney 2014-04-30 05:13

Cool concept! Liked the sense of humor, enjoyed that was both dodging and hitting things in the unusual contest.

Wished there a wave to ride though, I didn't really feel like I was surfing. I liked the little graphics touches you had, like the animated wave thing on the water's surface, and the chunks taken out of the surf board.

blazingfanfish 2014-04-30 10:42

Great take on the theme. Didn't expect that :v

dookie 2014-05-01 20:49

Hehe awesome. You get one extra star just for the pun :P

rialgar 2014-05-02 13:15

I made a Let's Play of your game, see it here:

Funny game with a nice original idea! Although it seems a little difficult with the Surf Ace always getting full energy. Only got to the third level but hopefully I'll beat it eventually. Really nice!

Web Unity link does not work for me(using firefox).
