As we are about to enter the third week of August, we have yet another somewhat slow week of new game releases, although that doesn't mean it's all bargain basement releases this week. This week's major release involves surfing across a wide range of less than liquid surfaces, on a sword. This is followed by brawling stickmen, trying to break free from the system, managing passenger transportation on a global scale, herding weird creatures in the mountains and finally operating a waterpark.

Surf across magnificent waves of sand and glistening waters on an epic quest to restore a lost ocean.
