A Fun, Minimalist Design With Gorgeous Venues

The game is simple: ride the never-ending waves to increase your score. It’s a to-the-point yet incredibly entertaining app with some beautiful stages to catch some waves. I definitely want to hold onto this one and see where it goes. My only gripe with the game is that the menu’s a bit confusing. It seems that all stages and characters can only be (fully) unlocked through in-app purchasing them, but I’m not quite sure and get an impression they might be able to be unlocked through achieving feats in the game alone. A few words along with the tutorial would suffice. Great game, and worth the time for anyone who wants a visually and mechanically pleasing game that’s reminiscent of such early IPhone hits as Doodle Jump and Jelly Car.
Beautiful, simple game

This game is great for what it is. It is simple, beautiful, and all that it needs to be. Nice for passing time and very relaxing!
Wonderful and boring.

Another game that needs more but is on the right path. Uninstalled it but the idea and look is great.
Finally a surfing app I actually want to keep

Reminds me of the Batman Ninja animation. Very eye catching visuals. I got the full version and it is worth it. E Honda is street surfing.
Gorgeous!

The game is absolutely gorgeous! You surf Japanese wave paintings. Each one has different aesthetics to it. Whales, boats, octopus, Oni. It is a work of art.
