We're here to fix your feed.

Algorithmic discovery favors clones, predatory monetization, and endless ad loops. We believe the smartphone is a legitimate artistic medium. There are thousands of brilliant creators making games that challenge, soothe, and inspire.

Surf Breeze Club is a manual curation effort. No AI recommendations. Just humans playing weird, wonderful little games and writing about them.
