You're the first one I give several 5* to
Simple and fun and superb pixels!
Loved the graphics and music.
I had a great fun with this game, got me hooked until the end, I like the variety between gameplay. Good job brah!
Also would like a bit more forward momentum when you jump off the wave to give a bit more time before the wave tube catches up.
Good core game, reminds me of summer games surfing
Come on, some characters lose every time.
LOVE IT
Now, with that out of the way, I must say that this one really impressed me. The graphics are marvelous; watching the rippling wave crest & the rotating surfer almost had me mesmerized. The music was upbeat and catchy. The gameplay was exciting, satisfying, and had just the right amount of risk vs reward. Controls were responsive & introduced at an understandable pace (good call on only announcing keys once their function becomes available).
However, I didn't see much of a point to the RPS minigame in between rounds. In fact, I feel that it really breaks up the action, and it takes me right out of the game. It's clear that it was used as a way to get new items/abilities, but I think it would have been better if items were awarded based on your surfing score.
Overall, fantastic job! I'll be coming back to play this one now and then. :)
Dat soundtrack :3

It was really frustrating at the end, I couldn't seem to beat it. No matter how many times I smacked the surf ace with the wrench he never seemed to get knocked off, and his score was always just slightly better than mine (even if I had 20k points or 40k) so it was obviously coded that I had to do something else to beat him, or it was impossible. It was really, really frustrating.
Other than that the game was totally gnarly, dude. Well done.
That was the most intense BO7 rock paper scissors of my life :D
Really great job, nice art, nice music, nice use of the theme, lot's of fun and humor : well done !
It was fun to play, the gameplay was excellent and the minigame was surprising.
Just great!
Oh and welcome to the Surf Ace club ;)
Oh and
Reminded me of some of the first surf games in 3D, despite the side-scrolling/2D aspect of it.
he curves are very nice, the smoothness/speed impression is there as well.
I've been a bit bumped with the rock-paper-scissor aspect of things, you could vary a bit the "out-of-water" challenges I think, that would make the game even more enjoyable.
Also, the "twist" about using a wrench to make your way to the top, that's kind of opposite to surf's philosophy, nevertheless fun.
The Surf Ace is a cheater though, in the way he dodges, needs several wrench hits before getting slammed.
Anyway, a fun nice game, good job, and congratulations on the jam entry.
The graphics were great and reminded me of the 16-bit era pre-rendered graphics.
Music was really good and sfx were great.
And gameplay was... really, really fun! I thought it was unbeatable, so I gave up at first (no, I didn't rage quit! XD).
But then, I gave it another try and was able to beat it in a few days (around 10). I was really expecting a worse ending...
But I beat the surf ace. Now I can forget surfing in peace. XD
