I like the humor, and the twist of being the board. The soundtrack was great. A little back story on the board would have been nice, because while it was in your comment, I read it as &quot; you are a surfboardER&quot;.

Solid game, I think your biggest setback is your graphics. Pick something a little more legible for your smaller font. For your title screen, that fancy font is awesome, but I struggled reading the smaller stuff. I see no fault with your audio and game play, great work there."},{"author_name":"soulrot","author_uid":"13381","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 10:30pm","epoch":1398723900,"text":"Enjoyable and humorous little game.

I like that you had to balance sacrificing your own health vs the surf ace's. Since your health aren't refreshed from level to level it all comes down to avoiding obstacles and only hitting the rocks and the seagulls, which, in my opinion, reduces the game to a standard &quot;dodge the obstacles&quot; game, since you can't really afford to hit the reefs and such. - But all in all a great idea, and a fun use of the theme!"},{"author_name":"Oddly Shaped Pixels","author_uid":"33840","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 7:31pm","epoch":1398799560,"text":"Super idea it's really fun and original.

Each round, the obstacles increase in speed and spawn rate, and the guy gets more health.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAlso, just in case the first link goes down, I have the web files on dropbox, so you can just download that and run locally.","title":"Surf Ace Splashdown"}
