Surf Monster by BeardoGames

[raw]
made by BeardoGames for LD33 (JAM)
Surf's up, surf monsters!

You're the raddest Dracula in town, and you like nothing better than catching a wave! But dang, bro! All those other loser Draculas are totally bogus and just wanna spoil it for you so watch out as they fly toward you! Carve a gnarly wave but be careful not to go too crazy or you'll totally wipe out!

-----------------
So yeah, controls are left and right to move up or down. Look out for bats and if you get too close to the top or bottom you'll also lose.

I really enjoyed the consistent theme for this, the gameplay is simple but fn and quite challenging. Well done!

A very joyful take on the theme. A game to chill out to. Hard to tell the depth and placement of the bats coming towards you(will he hit me or will he just fly past?)

Very funny idea. I had a hard time with the controls though.

Great work with the theme and nice graphics!
Only the audio was a bit jittery at times!

@tweedle the music was created by our good friend Montgomery Word. I'm not sure the sources that he sampled for it though, sorry :)

Controls were surprisingly hard but I do find the idea of Dracula using his coffin as a surfboard to be quite amusing.

Loved that Dracula design, and the music is great, but... I can´t help missing some Misfits song :D
Good job

Since when Dracula fears the bat?! :O
But it's worth it to see dracula surf! Genius! :D
