Play as a surfer (and three of his pet-cats ;)) that has to dodge hostile fish and birds. Can you survive long enough to reach and defeat the ultimate evil!?

Tips:
Regain a bit of health by hitting fish and/or birds during a dash.
Dashing can only be done with a full 'dashbar' (orange, below healthbar)
Moving out of the screen on the left side will get you insta-killed!

Controls:
Forward/Backward: Arrow keys left/right
Jump: Arrow key up/spacebar
Dash: Shift key
'Catpedo': Control key

Another surf ace appears!

Nice little game. Was not expecting that final boss :P

I kinda expected the waves to affect my movement. Like let me ride up them or something.

Anyway, nice work! I'd give it a rating of: Tubular!

Nice game, the choice of this final ennemy is really strange x)

i think this doesn't work on my computer - the cursor keys don't seem to move the menu selection and i can't start the game :(

Ahah, funny surfer) Simple and addictive mechanic

@Ragzouken - The menu should be working with the arrow keys. If they still didn't work after a restart of the game then.. not sure what the problem could be :/ Will check if it can be reproduced and if there is a solution.

Yet another Surf Ace! Some amusingly quirky touches in this game. I feel like the fishes move up and down a little too quick.

Got to the boss, my time came to an end. The waves were sort of deceptive: it's a surfing game, surely they should do something? Collision with enemies feels a little too harsh like the hitboxes are larger than they actually are. Neat little game either way!

just got it working - i ran it from my downloads folder rather than the browser and it seemed to work - odd!

Is something supposed to happen with the waves?

Neat little game! And funky hard :D I have to admit that I didn't got to the 'final' enemy others wrote about I made 192 Points :D Maybe I will try later.
Good game!

@demonshanker2: No, nothing is supposed to happen with waves. We did have some wave-related stuff planned but we did not have enough time to implement them.

It won't run for me. It gets to the title screen but won't respond to any of my inputs.

Kinda interesting! I think the physics of jumping could be improved, I think it would've made a big difference.

Don't know what it was, but kept freezing when the catpedo hit it's target.
Other than that was pretty fun!
