Moontide

Moontide is a free surfing game for the web browser, made by Toyjar. You play the moon, not the boat: the sea swells toward wherever you move the moon, and a little boat surfs and leaps on the tide you raise, through 4 nights (Blue & White, Rouge, Ink and Gilt) until it sails into the moon. A voyage takes about 7 minutes with a single drag control, on a phone, tablet or computer.

In Moontide you drag the moon and the sea swells toward it. Keep it behind the boat to push it along, swoop it low ahead and fling it up to throw the boat skyward, pull it close to flood over reefs, and push it away to ebb under bridges. Gather lights; when the moonlight runs out, dawn comes. Move the moon: Mouse / arrow keys, WASD (desktop) / Drag anywhere (phone); Fling the boat: Swoop low ahead, then fling up (desktop) / Swoop low ahead, then fling up (phone).

Moontide is played in 7-minute voyages. Start any time, stop any time.

Moontide has 4 nights: Blue & White (reefs and lanterns), Rouge (stone bridges, koi and a blood moon), Ink (a storm where lightning reveals hidden reefs, with rogue waves and whirlpools) and Gilt (the dragon gate and the kun). At each full moon the sea rises in a column and lifts the boat into the next night; after the fourth you reach the moon and can carry on in the endless tide.

In Moontide every landing is stamped with a seal, and the smoother the angle the better: Steady, Sweet, Perfect. Clean landings in a row build a combo and raise the tide, so each light you gather is worth more. There are special seals too, such as Bridge Leap, Koi, Dragon Gate, Full Moon and Blood Moon.

Moontide keeps your best score and your sound and language settings in your browser on this device. Nothing is sent to a server, so clearing the browser's site data resets them. Every voyage starts again from the first night.
