Surf Ace by Lyonsbanner

[raw]
made by Lyonsbanner for LD29 (JAM)
Hi everybody,

This time, I'm been through a lot but I managed to do a little something.

There is not as much as gameplay I wanted to do, so all you have to do is to avoid obstacles just with up and down arrows.

You play a surfer who can surf over AND "beneath the surface" of the water.

The purpose of the game was supposed to be a rhythm game for a total duration of about a minute.

Sources soon. ;)

EDIT : I fixed the black screen. Tell me if it still didn't work.

The background of the game is completely black right now. Up and down arrows work, that's about it. Is it a bug?

Yes, indeed. It seems that one image didn't fully loaded the first time. Refresh and (maybe) the game will appear. I'll fix this problem of preloader next time.

I see a black screen, and my dude is getting totally smashed by something every once in a while. I gave it a few refreshes, but to no avail.

Not sure if it should be considered a game, but I'd love to see this more fleshed out, especially with your music mechanic.

That surfer is a real pro

Worked properly here. The fixes seem to have done the job.

Those harmonic speeds. Every 6 turns you get walled and have to take one to the jaw. Hehe.

Not much to judge on, but still, good job.

The sounds are funny, but there's not a lot to do...

It's funny to see the man surfing under the water XD. Might try to add another mechanic to make sure that you can evade every obstacle in case they come together from beneath and surface.

It's obviously missing some stuff (some kind of score and failure condition are obvious) but it's a good start. I like the shark sprite a lot, and the way the surfer can surf beneath the surface is pretty comical.
My main complaint is that it's often not possible to avoid the obstacles because there's a boat and a shark at the same time.

Nice concept, hurting things is funny.
Sadly sometimes, the choice is limited between hitting the boat or shark.
A 3rd option may complete the gameplay, if the surfer could jump. In this way, just add another type of obstacle, such as seagulls.

Sometimes, it's impossible to dodge.

Sometime sharks and boats are synched and can't be dodged
