Microsoft is determined to one-up Google where possible with its Chromium-based Edge browser<\/a>, and that includes one of the most important areas: the cute mini-game you can play when you’re offline. After a few months of previews, Microsoft has updated<\/a> Edge with a new Surf game (available at any time by plugging edge:\/\/surf into the address bar) that harkens back to the old SkiFree game from Windows’ past. This is decidedly more sophisticated than jumping a dinosaur over cactus plants in Chrome — you can take it surprisingly seriously for a game that’s supposed to tide you over for a few minutes.<\/p>\n At its heart, it’s an endless runner where you surf around obstacles and stay one step ahead of a kraken. There are also objective-based time trial and zig zag (really, slalom) modes, though. You can also use a variety of input that includes your mouse, keyboard, touch or even a gamepad with haptic feedback. High visibility and low-speed modes help with the difficulty, and there are promises of “a few secrets.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n You probably won’t get Edge just for Surf, of course, but the game does show that Microsoft is invested in its latest browser on a level where it’s sweating the small details. If nothing else, it gives you an easy way to kill time while you’re waiting for your modem to reboot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Tags:<\/b> Jon Fingas<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s more advanced than jumping a dinosaur over cactuses.
