Since 2020, Microsoft Edge users may have downloaded a major update for the browser. Doesn't the new icon look like a wave? Well, this game might make the change have more sense.
''Edge Surf'' is a video game built into Microsoft Edge released in 2020 (after version 82), playable when edge://surf is typed in into the address bar or if you have a problem with connecting to the Internet, though the game is available in other places if you use Firefox/Chrome/some other browser. The game is inspired by ''VideoGame/SkiFree'', but you have to surf endlessly and try to get as low as possible. However, there are many obstacles in the form of rocks, bridges, other surfers, and a relentless purple squid. Unlike the inspiration, you have three hearts with each one being depleted when you hit something (unless the squid catches you, in that case you lose all three) and three lightning icons that speed the surfer up significantly when you double-tap the down key.
----
!!This game provides examples of:
* EndlessGame: The game doesn't end, you may as well get caught by the squid eventually.
* HeartsAreHealth: You have a lifebar with three hearts and additional hearts can be picked up.
* MercyInvincibility: You have a bit of invincibility after being hit, though it's so short it's unlikely to help much.
* NoPlotNoProblem: No plot for why you're surfing, why the squid chases you eventually, or anything else.
* OneHitKill: Getting caught by the purple squid causes you to lose instantly, no matter how many hearts you have left.
* PaletteSwap: The game has seven playable surfers. Three of them are unique designs, the other four are recolors of two of the aforementioned unique designs (one of them has not been copied at all).
* {{Retraux}}: The game has a DOS artstyle similar to ''VideoGame/SkiFree''.
