What a great game, very fun, congratulations to the creators of this game, I want the creators of this game to subscribe to my channel please, thank you, greetings from Spain!!
So great! Maybe I missed the obvious while I was poking around, but where is the game data saved? I'd like to sync it to the cloud to go back and forth between my PC and Steam Deck. So happy this exists :D
I installed this on all the computers in my computer lab classroom for kids to play after assignments, or when the internet goes out. Thanks for making this neat game!
Incredible game, I've been having a lot of fun with it for the past few days. I do have a small issue, though, and that's with the Arid Airspace stage in Beyond Mode. I'm currently struggling to beat it, not because it's too hard, but because I keep accidentally touching the keys that take you to the purple coin stage. I had a situation where I was literal seconds away (sub-80 meters) from clearing the stage, but fell onto one of those keys through the ground and had to start over. Maybe I'm the only one having this issue since I can't find any other comments talking about this, but maybe you could make it so that the key disappears from the level when you clear that purple coin stage once, since you can click the key in the selection screen to replay it anyway.
Other than that, absolutely solid experience. It's got far more meat to it than I expected, and the spritework and music selection/remixes are fantastic.
Nice little game but the bosses having randomization sucks. Mostly SS I don't feel like I'm ever improving when I fight him I feel like I'm getting lucky. Also, him instantly blasting your ass when you take down his elemental shields while the hazards are still on screen is bullshit. The player should get a moment to get ready before the next shield pops in. I know complaints about difficulty are hard to make without looking like a bitch but you have to admit that's a fair point.
Also while on the topic of the elemental shields I don't think he should throw a twinkle chaser at you during them until you hit him once. It would be best to give the player a bit to get what the hazard is before giving it an extra thing to dodge.
I was able to install it pretty easily through the NonSteamLaunchers plugin for Decky Loader. That plugin even creates shortcuts with full art to launch in Game Mode, so it makes the process much easier than installing the game manually in Desktop Mode.
Download it in desktop mode, extract the zip to a folder. Then right click the .exe file and select "Add to Steam". Go back to gaming mode and select properties on the game, and make sure it uses a proton compatibility layer, or else it won't launch.
Literally only 1% of Nintendo fangames get DMCA'd. AM2R got C&D'd because Nintendo was about to release their own Metroid 2 remake. So unless Nintendo is cooking up a Shy Guy surfing game of their own, then this should be fine.
Hey, requesting that you buff the water shield, it's fairly useless as-is... fire shields are strong, cause you can KO enemies. Thunder shields give you a extra jump. Water shields... just bounce. They're... fairly useless...

This game was made with Unity, and the save file is in the default location. On Windows, that is:
%userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\<companyname>\<productname>
You might have to enable viewing hidden files to see it. For This game specifically it's:
%userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\LucasPucas\ShyGuySurfing
If you pop that in Windows explorer, it should bring you there :)

Sick game, I had some trouble setting up the gamepad controls but it worked out in the end!
11/10 would be a 12/10 with playable Ninji.
Very well done! Love the music and the boss fights! A simple concept really well executed!

Really really fun to play. Works well on Steam Deck
Really Fun!! but HAAARD!! :D

SURF'S UP!
Plays incredibly well on Steam Deck when you turn on Proton Compatibility.
How did you get set it up on SteamDeck? I can't get it to download

the stuff i'd do to get this game on mobile, just popping this for a quick few minutes anywhere would be so fun
Agreed, would be a banger mobile game.
Freaking Awesome
This is hilarious but I suspect that Nintendo will be after you with a DMCA take-down request and possibly a lawsuit if you're really unlucky.
If anything they might DMCA you but you will not be facing any lawsuit unless you ignore the DMCA request. They have to notice you first anyways.

I mean, Fire is just the best, the other two are only debatably good.
