AirStrafe

Surf like on the Counter-Strike surf servers – except the map never ends.

AirStrafe builds an endless chain of surf ramps from a seed: curves, gaps, kickers, transfers, hairpins and valleys. The generator works out your speed as it goes and places every flight path and landing zone so the run stays makeable. Strafe cleanly and you get faster. Mess up and you fall.

▲ EARLY ACCESS · IN DEVELOPMENT
AirStrafe is a work in progress (version 0.9). Expect rough edges and frequent updates – your settings and records carry over. Found a bug or have an idea? Tell me in the comments.

◆ Real surf movement

• Custom Source-style controller: air-strafing with the 30 u/s wish-speed cap, air-accelerate 150, 128 tick
• Smooth ramp gliding without the ramp bug
• Mouse sensitivity, field of view and every key fully configurable

∞ An endless track in four tiers

• Every seed makes its own track – same seed, same track
• From smooth & flowing to brutal: steeper faces, longer gaps, launches upward, climbs where you have to manage your momentum
• Six worlds: Verdant Ruins, Neon Circuit, Cloud Citadel, Dune Temple, Polar Drift and the Crystal Depths cave

✦ Game modes

• Endless – score from distance × speed × combo. How far do you get without falling?
• Time Trial – a course of 3 to 50 ramps with a finish gate, best times and a ghost of your best run
• Daily – the same course for everyone, every day
• Combat – glowing orbs fly ahead of you and fire lasers back. Shoot them down, dodge, keep surfing.
• Clean landings build a streak, speed gates give you a boost, and shields, magnets and forks in the track keep runs fresh

◉ Online & PvP arena

• Shared track: everyone surfs the same endless track. Live leaderboards for the longest distance and the highest score, persistent records, chat, and spectating other players
• Arena PvP – "Ruin Cauldron": two rings of surf ramps with boost strips, a catapult and a ruined tower. Hits count anywhere in the opponent's glow and deal more damage the closer they land to the center – dead center is a headshot. Rocket-jump power-up, no aim assist, and campers blow up after five seconds.
• Hits are confirmed by the server with ping compensation

Controls

Mouse + WASD, just like CS surf: hold A or D on the ramp and in the air and turn with the mouse.
Esc menu · R restart · T chat · Tab player list · left mouse button laser (Combat / Arena)

Good to know

• Languages: English and German (switch in Options)
• Updates: with the itch app they install automatically. Without it, the game checks for a new version on start and installs it with one click (only updates signed by the developer)
• Online server: runs privately in Germany. It only stores your player name, results and chat; IP addresses are logged shortened and logs are deleted after 30 days. No account, no tracking. Privacy notice
• Windows SmartScreen: if you download in the browser, Windows may warn because the game isn't code-signed yet – click More info → Run anyway. Installing through the itch app avoids this in most cases

System requirements

• Windows 10/11 64-bit or Linux x86_64
• Graphics card with Vulkan or DirectX 12
• Mouse and keyboard

Planned

No promises on dates, but this is what's next:

• More tracks online – choose world and tier, see how many players are on each
• Server browser and self-hosted servers
• More PvP arenas and power-ups
• Music and more sound
• Steam release with leaderboards and achievements
