@petry123567: It sure does! Now I feel like making a WaveRace clone with surfboards... Hmm.
Added your scores to the leaderboard. (Everyone else: the spreadsheet is unlocked, so you can add yours too! Don't worry about sorting, I'll handle it!)
Thanks for the comments!
a little bit to easy for my taste but the idea to change game mechanics ingame was great!
@bebopbraunbaer: Yup, getting the difficulty right was hard. In the first devbuilds, by around 8000 points you'd barely have anywhere to go to avoid rocks. We opted to make it a little more mainstream, but in hindsight some kind of difficulty setting might have been a better choice.
@all: Thanks for the comments and ratings! Glad you're enjoying the game!
@urisensei: Alright, I get it, I'm a filthy casual! Hehe.
@NoorStudios: Fun fact: We actually had planned to have a burning skeleton pop out of the lava instead of just the surfboard. But it ended up being either that or getting the game to run properly. A decision I'll regret for the rest of my life.
As always, thanks for the comments and rating!
@cheesepencil: If only real lava was as nice as here. (At least it's much, much more awesome.)
@pikkpoiss: Glad you like it. Some dynamic shading was planned but had to be dropped (due to time), and I wasn't too sure how good the result looked.
@kirbytails: Good catch!
Thanks for commenting!
Graphics looks great and the music is cool.
