Surf the waves and don't fall off your board! Can you collect enough suns to stop the moonrise?

For example, if you play ‚Sonic Surfer on the Bus loud noises will no longer bother you. If a baby is crying, the bus driver is honking or people are talking very loud your game will create bigger waves - you will jump higher and collect more suns.

On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
