Grab a solar board and surf the moon’s dusty hills and steep craters. It is up to you – if you roam freely, perhaps practicing some kickflips, or if you head directly to the marked waypoints. All the game’s 5184 areas are procedurally generated. The landscapes early in the game, are reminiscent of NASA’s Apollo program. But, when you reach the far side of the moon, the terrain algorithm gets increasingly out of hand, producing an ethereal topography, suited only for the most experienced of players. Moon Surfing’s online server keeps track of your progress and the progress of all other players. You will know which areas have been conquered already, and when. All players are in this together.

Thank you for this great game ### 5/5 — Классная игра *2024-12-09, version 1.4* 200 рублей явно окупает, уровни - наслаждение и снятие стресса ### 4/5 — 👍 *2024-12-01, version 1.4* Oyun harika hissettiriyor gerçekten 😹 ### 1/5 — so boring *2024-05-23* you have nothing to do. i deleted the game 2 level make more things to do ### 5/5 — Best game you could ever made *2024-05-19, version 1.4* Thank you so much for this wonderful game I gave it a five stars 5️⃣✨🤩💫 I think everyone should play it ‼️ ### 3/5 — PLEASE ADD FEATURES TO THIS GAME *2024-05-13, version 1.4* Seriously. When was the last time a feature was added? It’s still missing options like a moon buggy, a starship, a hovercraft, etc.. Anything to improve the value of Moon Surfing would be great. Riding a hoverboard is fine for awhile but switching out rides would make this game a lot more fun. Please consider more features. Thanks! ## Frequently asked questions about Moon Surfing ### What is Moon Surfing? Moon Surfing is a game where you can explore the moon on a solar board.
