NAMIMA

A small cove in miniature where you wait for a wave and ride it. There is no score and no time limit, and different creatures appear at different hours.

Controls

To begin: Press on the water and the surfer paddles that way. Let go and they sit up on the board to wait. The arrow keys work too.
Catching a wave: When a rising wave comes near, an arrow appears over the surfer. Paddle towards the shore while it shows and they stand up (the space bar works too). While riding, the board turns towards where you press; let go and it runs along the middle of the face by itself.
Tricks: On a bigger wave, stay low under the lip just as it throws and you are in the tube. Shoot off the lip with speed for an air; turn back at the lip for a snap.
Creatures: Tap a creature and it answers your call. There are twelve kinds, and which ones appear depends on the hour and on what you are doing. Those you meet are kept in the field guide.
Trophies: Ninety-eight trophies come in for how you ride, the tricks you land, the creatures you meet and the time you spend. Some are secret and stay hidden until you find them.
Swell and time: “うねり” at the bottom sets the waves to one of three sizes, and “時間” fixes the hour at morning, noon, evening or night. Left on auto, a day goes round in about six minutes.
Rendering: The picture is drawn with the renderer from Amir Mushich’s Pixel Plays (MIT licence). All the sound is synthesised in the browser.
