Draw your way out of the dunes, surfer dude! You’re just a poor stickman surfer, lost in the colorful, yet lethal dunes. Watch out for rolling stones, darts, sharks, alligators, and more. Touching white obstacles will kill you instantly. Other colored obstacles? Touch them and see. (Worst case = death.) Speed bumps will protect you. But only so much. As you surf, draw perfect lines that will save you from sinking into the infinite depths of the dune despair. Good luck… you’ll need it.
