Overview

Surge.png

Surge is a charismatic rabbit with cool sneakers that light up. He loves to play video-games. Surge is a free and open-source software mascot, just like Tux (the Linux penguin).

Curiosity: a "surge" is a very rapid spike in voltage in an electrical circuit. It is very fast, typically measured in microseconds, and also very intense, being able to reach over 1000 volts (or many thousands, as when lighting hits a power line).

Special Moves

Lighting Boom

While jumping, press jump again. Surge will perform the Lighting Boom, an explosion that defeats the baddies nearby and gives him a double jump.

Lighting Boom

Tip: when in possession of the Thunder Shield, you'll get electricity all around you and the Lighting Boom will become more powerful!

Lighting Boom Plus

Lighting Smash

When in possession of the Thunder Shield, perform the Lighting Boom. Next, press jump again quickly while midair. Surge will be thrown downwards with energy: that's the Lighting Smash!

Tip: if you hit a baddie with the Lighting Smash while holding jump, you will bounce strongly and soar really high!

Charging & rolling

While on the ground, hold down and press jump to charge a dash. Release down to roll dash. The faster you release down since last pressing jump, the faster the dash will be.

If you simply press down while walking or running, you will roll.
