Time Surfer

Description

Time Surfer follows the last surfer travelling through the galaxy, haunted by an inevitable, destructive force: the end of universe itself. The surfer’s only defense? He can cheat death by rewinding time.

Time Surfer mashes up two very different game ideas to make something new: Tiny Wing’s simple physics-based slingshot gameplay and Braid’s mind-bending time reversal. The result? A twitch-based, time-rewinding, amped-up ride across the fabric of time and space.

Can you outrun the end of the universe?

History

Time Surfer's origins started with Ivan playing a NES emulator. While playing old platformers he used the built-in rewind mechanic available in many emulators to fix any mistakes he made in Bowser's castle.

Ivan jokingly suggested that Jetpack Joyride should have a time rewind feature. Within two days we had a prototype of Jetpack Joyride up and running with time rewind. The results of this experiment? Jetpack is boring as hell with time rewind.

However, after further another 2 days of experimenting we had an interesting conclusion: Tiny Wings with time rewind is awesome. The end result? Time Surfer was born.
