Surfpunk Demo Hands-On: Cooperative Action on a Submerged World
The report confirms Surfpunk's core loop-fast movement, combat, crafting, and a tsunami time limit-works well together, and that Japanese-language support is already in the demo ahead of early access.

A 4Gamer.net play report from BitSummit PUNCH covers the demo of Double Stallion's Surfpunk, a cooperative top-down action game set in a flooded world. Players ride Rush Boards between islands, fight enemies with four weapon types, craft items, and escape tsunamis. The demo is playable in Japanese despite the Steam page stating otherwise.
At BitSummit PUNCH in Kyoto, Double Stallion showed Surfpunk, a cooperative action game where players ride Rush Boards across a world flooded by a great deluge. The demo, already released in 2025, became playable in Japanese just before the event. 4Gamer.net played the first mission and filed a report.
Players take the role of Raiders who collect Ebreth from sunken ruins to power their ships. Between islands, they zip across the water on motorized Rush Boards, towing barges full of loot. Combat is fast but requires careful timing, with four weapon types-Sword, Pistol, Anchor, and Guitar-each offering distinct roles. On-site crafting lets players build new Rush Boards, ladders, and Supply Flares that restore and increase maximum HP.
A tsunami timer pushes the pace: enemies grow stronger as time passes, and eventually a wave wipes the map. Players must load supplies onto the barge and escape together. The report notes that the demo runs in Japanese without issues, and early access is planned with Japanese support.
