Everybody who remembers the 70's loves the cartoons of Ben Eath (pronounced like 'Earth' but without the 'r').
Ben Eath the Surf Ace:
part time surfer
part time private investigator
full time Cool Dude!
Now Ben is back and you can play Ben himself in this thrilling surf game!
Avoid the weapons thrown at you, by jumping (UP key, for the bombs) or ducking (DOWN key, for the knives).
Skip intro with 'S'.
EDIT 10-5: if you have the time, check out the 'the making of' link for more Ben stuff.
BACKGROUND:
I had a more original idea, but at the end of the first day I found that the game was far to difficult and actually no fun at all!
So the second day I made this game.
I admit it's not that special but I think you can enjoy yourself for a while. It is possible to win and quite easy to lose.
I didn't get to make a retry button so you have to refresh the screen to replay.
I had fun creating this especially the music (the 'Ben choir'!! :D). It was the first time I created a complete multitrack song!
I admit the music could have used a few more retakes (my sense of rhythm is not so good) but at the moment I'm pleased with it.
EDIT 28-8: I've changed the game a little bit where the wait between having won the game and seeing the end animation is lessened a bit. It doesn't affect any gameplay, just a few seconds waiting time for the end.
