For those unfamiliar with Edge’s surf game, it’s an endless runner, or rather an endless surfer. Your player moves down the screen on its own, and you tap left or right to avoid obstacles. You have to avoid rocks, other surfers, and octopi to continue surfing. You can play the Edge surf game by going to “edge://surf” in Edge Canary on Android.
The game has three modes, endless, time trial, and zig zag. You can keep track of your high score and share the game with your friends as well. If you’d like, you can even reduce the speed of the game.
You can test out new and upcoming features for the Edge browser with its Canary version, including the Edge surf game!
