Description

Shy Guy Surfing is finally here!

  • Jam to classic music from the Mario series and more, arranged by an all-star cast of chiptune artists!
  • Customize your experience with a wide selection of screen borders and unlockable costumes.

HOW TO PLAY

Detailed instructions can be found in the README.txt file.

  • Use WASD or the Arrow Keys to move.
  • Press SPACE or Z to Jump, and hold it midair to Float.
  • Press SHIFT or X to use your Shield, when you have one.
  • Press ENTER or ESCAPE to pause the game.

The game can also be controlled with a gamepad via JoyToKey.

GAMEPLAY

Shy Guy Surfing is an arcade-style endless runner, inspired by mobile games like Flappy Bird and Super Mario Run. You'll guide your surfer through a sea of randomly-generated obstacles, chasing a thousand-meter milestone to reach the next area. Enemies and hazards will jam up the path, so keep your hearts in check and don't get squashed!

Journey Mode is a singleplayer campaign with a set beginning and end, including checkpoints to mark your progress and boss encounters to break up the pace.

Endurance Mode is a truly endless score-attack marathon, starting from zero to beat your personal best or take your place on the leaderboard.

Extra challenges lie beyond the end of Journey Mode, for only the most experienced surfers. No wimps allowed!
