An Australian studio, DreamWalk Interactive, is standing up to the hot temperatures and beach fantasies by letting mobile users surf in safety. Their mobile game, Surfy , launches today for those ready to ride the waves with cool tricks on iOS.

A type of endless runner game, Surfy drops the player off a helicopter and tasks them with keeping the ride going before the break of the wave catches up. The game uses two-finger controls on either side of the screen, to control the surfer’s spin left and right. That’s important, because a large part is performing cool tricks that earn extra points. Using certain elements on the screen, the character can be launched as high as beyond Earthspace, earning big scores. Other than that, the exotic locations switch up with frequent obstacles and power-ups to collect.

The NES title California Games was one of the inspirations for Surfy .

“We wanted to put a modern twist on a classic genre,” said Sam Russell, development head at DreamWalk. “We hope gamers find Surfy as addictive and fun as the games that inspired us to make it.”

For the coins earned in-game, players can visit the Surf Shop to buy permanent upgrades and radical new surfboards. Surfy also has multiplayer mode to challenge friends, as well as global, competitive leaderboards.

Surfing fans don’t have to wait before diving in on their mobile devices, because Surfy is out today for free on iOS.
