Surface is a 2D pixel arcade game, where you must reach the top of the stage as fast as you can while avoiding creatures and hazards along the way. Their are currently 8 stages with 1 bonus stage to be unlocked in the full version. You can play a demo currently on MarketJS that has 3 stages. The game supports both keyboard and gamepad. The game character can perform 4 actions in the game: jump, ground dash, air dash, and air stomp. Press A on the keyboard/gamepad to jump. Hold right or left key/buttom first, then S(keyboard)/X(gamepad) to dash on ground. Press the same thing in air to perform an air dash. Hold down key/button first, then S(keyboard)/X(gamepad) to do a air stomp. I have only tested the gamepad with the 360 controller, so your action buttons on a gamepad may vary. Just remember you cannot attack anything in the stage, as the main objective is to get to the finish line as fast as you can.
Update: 11/10/2012
Version 1.5 is out. I added a midpoint spawn to the stages, so its less frustrating to play. I have also fixed the music clashing with the death tune. The spikes in stages 1&2 are more obvious this time around for those who could not tell them apart from the background. Lastly, i updated my fonts so they appear to have spacing.

The game is intended for an audience who likes challenging games. If your not one of them, please wait for version 2.0. I'll add a difficulty
mode for beginners.
Thanks for checking the game out. 8)
