Ben is the Surf Ace by lessmilk
I twisted the theme into "Ben is the surf ace". So in my game you play Ben, who is a very good surfer.
The game is really basic. It took me less than 5 hours to make it. It's made in HTML5 with the Phaser framework.

It would be nice if every now and then a boat or a island would pass by.
If you want to continue work on it you could create unlockable accessoires and clothes. :)
You did a great work with the water particles and the surfer sprite. One advice when using phaser, leave 1 pixel or margin in the sprites, because sometimes the bird has a white line on the left side.
Good luck with the ratings!
Not a big deal, but definitely 5 for the humor-factor.
Btw: if you have down button pressed while you jump into a flying fish it won't kill you. ;)
Anyway, I like it. The graphics and audio are very fitting but it would be funnier if the difficulty continued to increase. I got to 341 before giving up.
Music fits the game well.
I saw your post of this game a few hours before finishing my own game. 'Damn' I thought, 'he has the same idea'.
And you have surf music as well.
I used more than 5 hours, but I had a lot more pixels (vectors actually). I think your choice is better if you're time constrained, like in a LD. my graphics took forever!
Super cute animations (I especially like the seagull) and the sounds are so authentically retro. Almost feels like playing an Atari 2600 again :-)
Great job!
I like the animation on Ben, feels good somehow, but the game is a tiny bit too simple. Too quick to master. Good job though :)
Like this game as all other games you made.
Simple but very addictive.
Just a little glitch on the shark animation, little line of blue at the top.
