Total Washout: Surf Arcade Is an Endless Surfing Bullet Hell with a Unique One-Touch Mechanic

Lucky are those ducks! Total Washout Surf Arcade is a surfing bullet hell game from Super Smith Bros. It comes in a bright, colourful presentation full of spring and summer vibes. The premise is funny, but it actually offers a serious survival challenge. Trust me.

Total Washout: Surf Arcade is set entirely inside a bathtub

Where ducks wear outfits and sharks come equipped with laser beams on their heads. Yep, the game asks you to survive increasingly intense waves of hazards.

Total Washout: Surf Arcade lets you handle movement through a one-touch system. You steer through dense patterns of incoming fire with simple inputs. It might remind you of the mission-driven loops in Jetpack Joyride and the physics-based flow of Line Rider.

You need to carve paths through the water by drawing waves, using your finger to guide movement, jump over obstacles, and evade attacks. Enemy types range from laser-equipped sharks that fire from a distance to heavy warships that unleash cannon attacks.

Unlockable content includes cosmetic options that let you personalise your duck characters. It also includes Hyper Speed and Gold Rush. There’s also an amusing mechanic that rewards you for interacting with enemies in unexpected ways, such as high-fiving enemy ducks for additional kudos.

Total Washout: Surf Arcade has over 200 challenges, alongside more than 100 missions. You can level up through these activities, working toward higher ranks and eventually reaching Prestige status. On that note, why don’t you catch a glimpse of the game below?

Competitive elements are also present through global leaderboards, where you can compare your best distance records against others worldwide. A full set of achievements is also available, ranging from titles like Lucky Ducky to the more difficult Absolutely Quackers status.

Total Washout: Surf Arcade is now out on the Google Play Store.
