A downloadable game for Windows

This is my submission for the 9th Novice Game Jam 2022 

The game is called Sunday Surfer. You are a surfer who is surfing through the ocean and you have to avoid rocks to not crash. Press and hold space to change direction in which you are going and speed up. 

About the game.

The game was made using Lua and LOVE2D. Everything I know about making games I learned from the GD50 series on the CS50 youtube channel. The playlist is called CS50's Introduction to Game Development 2018.

Everything in the game was made by myself except for the fonts.

Links to the fonts:

My problems and dilemmas

The game is lacking some music, but that's because I couldn't find anything good and free and I don't know how to make music myself.

I was also thinking about adding like an energy or boost bar that would indicate how much boost you can use and it would regenerate over time, but I gave up on this idea because I didn't really know how to make the bar move smoothly and I didn't have much time left. 

Source code

The source code of the game is on my Github.

Install instructions

To play the game install the .zip file and extract it on your computer. Then open the .exe file and the game should be up and running.

I also included the .exe separately, but I'm not sure if it'll work on it's own.
