Cool ! Looks like "surfing" in counter strike But more colorful and less violent lol


Shashimee_

Thanks, I'm the dev of the game and working full time on it 😁 the goal was indeed to focus on the flow part with a chill atmosphere and refined controls/UI etc. I hope you like the look of it, cheers !!


C_Attano_

A whole game for surfing instead of mods for CS was a good idea 👍


Shashimee_

Thanks !! I still have to make a full level editor for the community to fully enjoy it :D


-TheArtOfTheFart-

I like this, you’re a good game dev. Please be sure to take breaks, get those stretches in the sun, and have fun too! Don’t work till you collapse ok? Wishing you the best in both the game and your general wellbeing~ 🍑👍


Shashimee_

Thank you so much, that is so wholesome !! Rest assured, I've never liked "crunch", I work really efficiently to have some free time to go running, meet friends at the bar etc. 😊 Take care as well, your comment put a huge smile on my face, I'll do my best to make an awesome game !


sharkall7

What's the name of the game?? You're doing a good job!


Shashimee_

Thanks a lot !! 😍 It's Hoverflow, it's in early access but I'm full time on it!


TempestQii

can’t wait to play it!!


Shashimee_

And I can't wait to have your feedback!!


Monkathan

Now he should create a game of CS using mods inside the surfing game.


Shashimee_

Love the idea lmao


ForeignRespect1496

Damn as an old CS surf enjoyer I am hyped! Let us know when the game is done


Jahsmurf

You can already buy it in early access and it is on sale right now


Shashimee_

Will do ! 1.0 will probably be next year but as another user said you can already get it on sales and try the [free demo](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1280060/Hoverflow/) :D


Outrageous_Ad9124

Can you add the option to have a jungle soundtrack please


Shashimee_

Hehe I definitely like to play with techno or drum&bass as well :D it won't be an option but probably the main tracks for more difficult levels !!


BennieOkill360

Amazing dude I was wondering why there isn't a dedicated surf game.


Top_Consideration570

There are multiple others, the best one I've found is momentum mod, it's still in playtesting phase and you need to request (but you get in just wait a day or so), and it has multiple different modes too, such as bhop, (and i can't remember the rest).


Shashimee_

Same, the surf mechanic is so thrilling and satisfying to master!


kalamitykode

I honestly thought this was based on Atomic Heart's second DLC. Did not know there were other games with these mechanics, super cool. Gonna check it out!


Shashimee_

Yes Atomic Heart's DLC was also based on Source engine's surfing mechanic!! I liked it so much I decided to make it a full game, I hope you'll enjoy it if you try it :D


Cooldudeyo23

What is it called? I want it


Shashimee_

It's called Hoverflow, and there is a free demo on Steam 😁 it's also 60% off during the Steam sales! Can't wait to have your feedback hehe


sanguwan

This needs VR support


Shashimee_

Haha someone said to add VR and rebrand the game "Terrific Vomitorium" as well 😂


Rabid-Chiken

Looks great! The speed lines are a tad distracting when they're on all the time, maybe bump up the speed threshold for when they come on. Also the vertical lines kind of look like rain? But they're moving with the player, not fixed in the world, so they look a bit out of place


LiveLearnCoach

Nice. I think this is the lizard one? The gravity seems a bit off when shooting off the slanted object then landing on another slanted object that’s tilted in the same direction of the jump/fall. Best wishes.


Scholes_SC2

Thanks. Watching this made me very nostalgic for the old cs 1.6 days


Shashimee_

These were the days indeed


MightyBobTheMighty

Was gonna say it looked like a TF2 jump map with the rocket jumps replaced by bounce pads lol


Shashimee_

It's indeed inspired by Source engine games !


nicbobeak

I haven’t heard of surfing in counter strike but I might have to check it out!


OffDaZoinkys

That's what I thought this was at first. Didn't realize someone turned it into a standalone game


Intrepid_Training_22

no shot


Ilanour

You might want to wait, last I heard they broke surfing when switching from go to cs2


nicbobeak

Aw damn. I’ll look up some videos on YouTube to see what it is.


Ilanour

Incase I can recommend you "repster" on YouTube


nicbobeak

Oh wow that does look really similar to this game! Way more difficult from what I saw.


Sufficient-Seat-2657

Blows my mind that people are now playing games near identical to cs surf and don't know about it's existence, makes me feel old AF lol.


nicbobeak

I’m feeling pretty old these days too to be honest. I got a PC about 5 years ago so I wasn’t in the scene growing up.


Tenebrous-Smoke

you can surf on garrys mod too


warip93

Well yeah It's the same game engine made for half life 2, then used for counter strike source which they later to use Garrys mod.


Tenebrous-Smoke

I know, I just figured if op didnt know it was on counter strike, they might not have known it was on gmod either


2FANeedsRecoveryMode

lmao


winterborn

This gave me some real flashbacks to playing CS surf maps! I used to love them.


allursnakes

Well shit, if counterstrike/valve is gonna abandon surf then I guess it's fair game for a different developer.


Bunny_Fluff

Right as the video started I could tell it wasn’t CS surfing but it definitely is built on the same idea. Kinda cool actually. I played so much of this back in the day


StephenHawking432

I think surfing was always community


Shashimee_

It still is ! KSF servers are a lot of fun on CSS :)


Intuhlect

Yep CSS surfing is very much active. I am very hopefully for Momentum Mod to be a real competitor in terms being able to succeed or at least compete with CSS.


Shashimee_

I hope as well! I am still waiting for an access tough.. :(


DIABLO258

It still is as far as I know. I was surfing just back in late 2023 because it's still fun. Community is toxic as shit though


FeistyThings

CS2 ruined surf. The surf community, in my experience, was never toxic. Just the base game


DIABLO258

Right thats why each server I went into always had some teenagers or 20 somethings calling each other retards and shouting the N word whenever they realized they were losing an argument CS2 did ruin surf though. Kept hitting pebbles


FeistyThings

Did you miss the part where I said "in my experience"? Sorry yours was toxic, maybe you attract that attitude.


DIABLO258

lol right, me joining a server and being thrust into a racist, aggressive conversation between 16 year old's and 30 year old's is me attracting a toxic attitude. I mute them, and then play the game


duckpath

CS2 doesn't have surf??


allursnakes

At best its broken.


Shashimee_

I will do my best anyway ! I've been gathering feedback from both CS surf veterans and newcomers to try to find the perfect balance and learning curve 😁 gameplay is not frozen since I can easily tweak things so it's really nice to play with that decades old mechanic!!


bga93

This takes me back to 2006/2007, i still have my CSS CD


IGetItCrackin

🙆‍♂️


allursnakes

Idk what that means.


RSVive

I think they're helping with a genkidama


Long_Praline_71

Bros boutta make a story time YouTube video with this one💀


coffee_addict_96

Man I miss leafy but holy hell was he toxic as hell


arhedee

What is this?


nicbobeak

It’s a game called Hoverflow: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1280060/Hoverflow/ I am in no way affiliated with the game and just bought it a couple days ago. I’m just really having fun with it and wanted to post this clip.


arhedee

Thanks! Looks dope


nicbobeak

Yeah it’s been really cool. There’s a demo as well so it’s easy to give it a try.


HolidayInvestigator9

looks like another game on steam i forgot the name of. it was wire frame and animations for the hands looked almost identical.


nicbobeak

Was it Get to the Orange Door? That one is very inspired by Titanfall 2 movement and has guns. Might not be what you’re referring to cuz I’m not sure if it’s quite wireframe.


RemyJe

I’m curious how the game dev just happens to show up in the comments.


nicbobeak

I had commented on one of his posts earlier in the day mentioning I was stuck on a level. He responded to me last night asking which level and I told him I figured it out and posted about it. So he checked out my post from there.


RemyJe

Thanks!


FLYNCHe

!remindme 6 hours


navenager

This gives me Neon White vibes, just without the shooting. Loved NW so I might check this out too.


Shashimee_

I am the dev of Hoverflow and you are absolutely right, I got a lot of inspiration from Neon White 😁 but definitely wanted to remove the shooting part and focus on flow ! (The white bouncing spheres got taken from NW haha)


navenager

Ever since finishing Neon White, I've been hoping for another game that hits similar notes. I'll check Hoverflow out! The way this player was clearing entire platforms once he got enough speed and the right jump angle is pure NW.


Shashimee_

I didn't get feedback from NW players so far so it would be really interesting !! I hope you'll like, there is a free demo anyway :D


navenager

Well I'll definitely let you know my thoughts then!


nicbobeak

I was just looking at that game the other day! It looks really cool.


navenager

It's insanely addicting. This looks like a chill game, though. Neon White feels like taking amphetamines between the music and the quick-twitch shooting. It's really fun and I absolutely recommend, but don't play it before bed or it'll be hard to fall asleep after 😅


nicbobeak

Haha good to know. I might pick it up soon. Hoverflow is definitely a chill game. All about keeping momentum and finding flow.


DrDabsMD

Hijacking comment to also recommend Ghostrunner if you haven't played that already


nicbobeak

Yeah I dig that game. Just played the second one for a little bit recently.


DrDabsMD

Haven't played the second one yet, it's on the list, just need to beat Elden Ring DLC first.


NorthernCobraChicken

This is what passes for surfing these days? Some of those cs/HL2DM maps were absolutely bonkers.


Shashimee_

I'm the dev of the game, you feedback on level design would be awesome if you've played a lot of surf ! Cheers :)


NorthernCobraChicken

What's the actual name of it? I'd like to give it a first person account before I make any comments.


Shashimee_

It's called [Hoverflow](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1280060/Hoverflow/) and there is a free demo if you wanna try it :D I definitely need some feedback


nicbobeak

I haven’t played those games but this one is fun to me


smilespeace

Yo this takes me way back to Wolfenstein ET strafejumping. Is there a strafejump mechanic to this or is it pure directional momentum? (edit: I'm asking because I think I percieve some "whipping" motion right before every time you jump. Back in WolfET and COD2, you would combine forward movement and strafe, then "whip" the mouse towards your target to trick the game into exceeding your max movement speed to make longer jumps) Either way I'm probably gonna have to try this eventually lol. Might scratch the itch from my PC glory days


nicbobeak

I’m doing the whipping motion because of how the slanted surf walls work. You want to gain momentum by sliding downwards but then flick up to get air off the edges of the surf walls. I’m not totally sure what strafejumping is. I’ll have to look it up.


smilespeace

Oh yeah that sounds really similar, maybe minus the neccesity of using the forward/strafe keys to "cheat" the game into moving you faster. I'll have to check this out, has some nostalgia factor for me and looks super satisfying. Good post buddy I'm glad I found it :)


nicbobeak

Ah ok nice! It is a very satisfying game and fun to figure out which route will keep your momentum the best. It has a demo so it’s easy to try out to see if you like it. It’s also on sale right now!


Plastic_Style_1265

Loved playing surf back in the day. Especially mesa…


Shashimee_

I plan to add surf_mesa in Hoverflow haha to see how it behaves on this game 😁 your feedback on it would be awesome!


Gabe_Ad_Astra

I love that we all collectively had memories of surfing in CS. Good times!!


Educational_Theory40

Counter strike source surf maps have come a long way


donkerslootn

What game is this? Used to surf a lot on counter strike.


Shashimee_

It's called [Hoverflow](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1280060/Hoverflow/) ! I put up a free demo and it's 60% off if you wanna try it :D Cheers !


donkerslootn

Thank you!!


nicbobeak

https://www.reddit.com/r/oddlysatisfying/s/jF5IDMWWef


ramirez_tn

WTF , this looks pretty similar to Counter Strike surf concept !


Shashimee_

I'm the dev, I decided to make a standalone surf game indeed :D


ramirez_tn

Nice that brings a lot of nostalgia! I spent uncountable hours playing CS surf maps


Shashimee_

Same! I wanted people to discover that amazing feeling without downloading any Source game :D


SantoWest

An actual cs surfing game, might check out. I wonder if they used valve's engine


nicbobeak

It’s built on Unity


Shashimee_

I recreated the Valve air mechanics on Unity as OP said, I would love your feedback on it ! Positive or negative hehe


Part_Timefutbol

How do I play this game, looks so fun!


nicbobeak

I’m having a blast so far! It’s on steam in early access and on sale right now: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1280060/Hoverflow/


Hypocaffeinic

I am strongly averse to getting into games like this because I know I’ll never get any frigging research done! It looks awesome. Dammit. -_-


SnooWoofers6634

Looks like someone added a Parcours Mod to TES Oblivion


Shashimee_

I'm the dev and damn I'm surprised you quote a favorite game of mine hahaha, did all the achievements on xbox 360 back in the days, the dlc were amazing


SnooWoofers6634

Whoa, did not expect the dev to answer here :) Keep up the good work. I never made it to developing my own games somehow so I appreciate someone trying to build some art for a screen. I am only developing full stack for some company to keep the bills paid. Maybe you can add some Oblivion easter egg at some point ;)


Shashimee_

Thanks a lot, I'm doing my best !! I was a full stack/devSecOps before working full time on this game also :D it clearly paid the bills haha Hahaha I'll hide the Umbra sword in a level!


RRoDXD

I hate these kind of games. There's really just one way to beat a level, very restrictive and no freedom of movement.


Shashimee_

I'm the dev and as OP said rest assure I create multiple routes when designing a level :D Cheers !


nicbobeak

In the levels I’ve played so far there are many different routes you can take. Part of the fun is figuring out which route you like!


Doron050

Any chance this works on mac? Looks cool


Shashimee_

A Mac port is planned but I couldn't test it so far, you'll have to wait a bit :)


nicbobeak

Looks like it’s just windows unfortunately.


Atarexyy

I’m not gonna lie. The sudden jerks and the hard landings kinda ruin it for me.


nicbobeak

I can understand that. Watching games on mkb can be a bit jarring sometimes. The flicks are the best way I’ve found to get air off the edges of the walls.


OtteLoc

I used to surf an awful lot in TF2, good memories.


ForeignRespect1496

Damn as an old CS surf enjoyer I am hyped! Let us know when the game is done


nicbobeak

I’ll keep an eye on it. You can always wishlist on steam. I’m playing it in early access. It’s on sale right now.


Shashimee_

You can try [Hoverflow](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1280060/Hoverflow/) on Steam, there is a free demo :D if you're a surf veteran I would very much like to have your feedback on gameplay and level design !


TexasJOEmama

Completing levels are really satisfying. Good job!


nicbobeak

Thank you! I finally found the flow.


Shashimee_

Damn first time I see a video of my game and it's not me playing, thanks a lot for buying it and posting 😍 it means a lot !! I hope you like it so far !


nicbobeak

Having tons of fun!


Shashimee_

So glad! Don't hesitate if you have any feedback, I'm working full time on the game !


live4thagame

Mouse n keyboard or controller game?


nicbobeak

It works with both. I’m playing on mouse and keyboard and it feels great. Haven’t tried controller.


Popolac

Does it play like Source engine surfing? I surfed in CS 1.6, and TF2 back in the day.


nicbobeak

I haven’t done CS surfing but I played Titanfall 2. It’s tough to beat that movement but Hoverflow does feel really good. The surfing feels a bit different cuz you’re not running on a wall. This game relies on momentum and doing what you can to keep momentum and build speed.


Shashimee_

Works like CS surfing indeed with refined controls, you can try the free demo if you want ! 😁

Hoverflow

Warning. Post is an ad.


nicbobeak

It’s really not. I have no affiliation with the game. Found it on Reddit a couple days ago and have just been having fun with it.


Hieroglphkz

It turns out surf, jump and hide and seek servers were way more fun than getting dinked through walls or 1 deag’d from across the map in CS 1.6. Edit: Sorry I can’t forget scoutzknivez as being the true skill test for combat.

Nope not that I know of.

Do you like to vomit?

You have weak VR legs. This kind of game would not make you vomit if you are desensitized to VR sickness.


Shashimee_

A user suggested I make the game VR and rebrand it "Terrific Vomitorium" lmao

I wish CS surf would release on Fortnight


Shashimee_

Just wait a bit, they surely will since they do everything haha


akoOfIxtall

i'm pretty sure i've seen this game in the unity subreddit or the indiedev sub, if you're the the dev that's some clever marketing here, if not, how in the hell you're playing this?


nicbobeak

Yeah I saw it posted in r/mirrorsedge. I’m not affiliated with the game, I just bought it on steam!


akoOfIxtall

Cool, didn't knew it was published already


nicbobeak

I think it’s in Early Access but it’s available.

I'm the dev and happily surprised to find the video here haha, never thought some gameplay would end up here but I am glad !
