Our take on Surfingers
The defining mechanic is shifting the wave's height, including diagonal waves, to thread through obstacles while the world changes.
What is Surfingers?
Surfingers is an arcade game controlled by moving up and down to change the height of the wave.
Players steer through obstacles such as ships, balloons, rocks, trees, bones and pyramids, aiming to continue without hitting anything. The route spans ocean, snow, desert and hell settings, with worlds changing as the run progresses. Diagonal waves are part of the surfing mechanic. More than 20 characters are available to unlock through achievements or by collecting stars. The game combines surfing-themed music and graphics with fast obstacle dodging, and its run-based goal is to travel as far as possible.
